Any thoughts for Story of the Pearl Girl? Are you watching?
Yes I am watching SOAPG I am currently on episode 15. I like the complexity of the story and its historical accuracy as well.
I am amazed that, the antagonist Master Cui ShiJiu, despite being a one-dimensional character, is still playing the part of a SML. That beautiful woman impersonates a man. But she is impulsive and evil. Moreover, the writer didn't bother to give her a woman's temper. She is all about arrogance and self publicity. Because she wants to be recognized by her father. A woman, would never act like that. A woman would prioritize the success of the mission before any recognition.
She is a great actress at playing that part, but her character is a very simplistic SML type of character.

I love to read how you describe a character. What about the rest?

Thank you @FIONA.
About Female Lead. I am very pleased by the Zhao Lu Si's depiction of Duan Wu. It is my first drama watching her. I feel that, she is one of the best actress out there. She is very nuanced. This is beautiful to watch.
Duan Wu is clever and she can read the room. That allows us to witness her growth as a woman, and honestly I am rooting for her success as a merchant. I have no doubt she will fight her way to success. She has a sassy personality and how I love her interactions with Male Lead.
Moreover, her identity must be uncovered. She has to take back what belongs to her legally.
That type of "quest" is something every professional woman can relate to : success in the workplace. That thematic is universal. So, no wonder so much viewers want to follow her journey.
As for Male Lead Liu Yu Ning (Yan Zi Jing) I loved him in "A journey to love". I honestly like his cleverness and his patience in executing his revenge plan. To be honest, his schemes are not very elaborate but it is still nice to see him win everytime.
I guess that a hero has to face a very difficult villain to beat, in order to become an astonishing hero : the villain elevates the hero!!
In this case, unfortunatly the antagonist is that one-dimensional Master Cui ShiJiu. So Yan Zi Jing could not be extraordinary.
But I still appreciate his journey.
Apart from them, I really like the child actor "shrimp" who was in "the double" as well. He is very refreshing and talented. And also really cute. I am happy to see him again.
For all the rest of the castmembers, their acting is on point and I am binging the drama.
Sorry for the long answer. :)
Why kind of preference you have for kdramas? I have a few.

I too waiting for The Trunk. I recently watch QueenWoo. Not too bad but too much gore and killing. Do watch censored version if you cannot stand nudity. Heard some people complain that was why they released the censored version. I am watching Mr Plankton. Sad story plus some humor. Judge from hell is good. What comes after love is slow but ok, flowing ok just that pity the second actor. My Dearest everyone said is good but I haven’t watch yet. Twinkling Watermelon is nice. Lovely Runner started very nice but got bored in between for me however I did complete it. Love next door is so good. Doctor Slump is ok. A shop for killers is not bad, have to listen for clues. Black Put is good but they could have did the ending better. Suddenly you feel just like that? Connection is not bad but to me got bored a little in a way. Flex X Cop was a fun one. High school return of a gangster was also a fun one but in between a little sad. Marry my husband not bad. All based in 2024. I may had miss some…. Anyone here watch Japanese drama?
@ Fiona
I still enjoy Korean thrillers. This year I watched Exhuma, the frog… All good ! Queen woo has Wookie in show? Ooh.. I also watched jdramas. Recently I waited for ‘light my lion’ . Nice heartwarming show. But very slow to airdrop online grrr. Yesterday I binged Kinura’s old show The family.. Good dark show but ugghhhhhg
Try Silent and Umo no Hajimari. Same actor. Pace is the same slow. Two weeks Japanese version not too bad. Perfect World too. Yes all sad dramas hahaha but I just love them. These few I rewatched except Two Weeks. If you had watched cdrama Angels fall sometimes, you should try The hours of my life.
Korean recently remake Go Ahead I think I mentioned before you can try. Family by choice. I watched Exhuma too wow those two really good actor and actress. The Fog I haven’t that was why I said kdrama pending so many. Even from last year.
