Had no expectations yet enjoyed
Honestly I only watched this drama for Lusi as I’m not a fan of heavy topic dramas or political drama. So here is my reviews + thoughts on the drama. The story arc, chapter 1 consists of 14 episodes, feel free to give the drama a try and let know what you think :)
Story:
The story is based on the FL Tian Zhao who is a stubborn, strong willed girl, who at times could be impulsive but is kind at heart and is willing to do anything to help those around her. She lost her parents at a young age and survived by herself with a bit of help from her neighbours, she took care of a group of kids that were orphan like her and she is well known and loved in her village.
There are small plots like Tian Zhao’s parent revenge plot, the FL and ML’s misunderstanding plot but the main plot of the drama is the beginning of a ‘new china’. When the new government came to guild their village, stating that wanted to work for the common people, Tian Zhao started to see that they were different and wanted to join them in bettering the life’s of the villagers. There were times were she would act without thinking but that is due to her lack of education and the environment she grew up in. At times it may be annoying but Lusi expression just made it impossible for you to hate her and honestly it was quite satisfying when she would act how she feels like kicking the guy she doesn’t like right in front of everyone haha. She never lowers her head for other or give in to what others tell her is right, she keeps her head high and only trusts herself and those that she love and those that love her, she has her own judgment.
At some moments the overly one perspective political views may be too much as they overly exaggerated how great the new government was and a lot of the protagonists plots were easily solved. However its quite sweet seeing common people work hard to better their life’s, their love for there country, how the power of everyone working together can accomplish big things, as individuals everyone may just be average citizens but together they are more knowledgeable then the government’s spies.
Despite it being rough times, we see different people working to there specialties to live every day to the fullest for example the side characters like Tian Zhao’s neighbour, they each had there own skills and characteristics as well as different types of hardship that they gradually had to work through.
Theres not much romance, however the romance that is their is super wholesome and sweet. The ML Tie Dan is a super sweet guy that has a soft spot for Tian Zhao, he is very smart and strong yet he isn’t prideful and isn’t afraid to apologize to the FL and is willing to patiently communicate with her even when she refuses to listen.
Acting/ Cast:
There was moment that I found touching and I even cried a little. I felt the emotions that the characters felt and the hardship they face. So I think they did a great job with casting and costume. Despite it only being 14 episodes they were convincing at acting as neighbours who have known each other for a long time that were like a family.
As always Lusi acting was great, it really brought Tian Zhao to life and she has no problem with the rough makeup and getting dirt on her face. You can see small details that she alters to fit the personality of the characters she plays (like the tone she speaks, the way she walks, her facial expression). Also not to mention her ability to have great chemistry with almost any one she works with, I’m not familiar with the actor Hou Ming Hao but as I have mention they were super cute , they really felt like close childhood friends that grew up together.
Music:
There weren’t any particular music that I found memorable but I think the music that were used fit well with the scenes.
Rewatch Values:
I would perhaps rewatch some funny scenes of Lusi and the sweet scenes of the FL and ML but not the whole thing.
So to summarize its honestly a very casual historical political drama with a bit of romance, a bit of comedy. Theirs no explicit war stuff as its more of the point of view of the common people. This drama is more of a slice of life I would say. It does touch a bit on the topic of prostitution but its just mentioned and the important of women being educated and being able to get jobs.
If you are interested do give it a try :) hope my review helps and thanks for reading my review.
