A Tragic Romance paired up with a Little Laughter

STORY
Story wise the drama was really good. There was a past and a mysterious backstory to a lot of characters. Though the backstory of the leads was revealed pretty early, there were still a lot of characters who will be making us wonder and guessing about them. Each and every character were very different and everyone were trying to survive in their own ways. Unlike the routine where all good and bad people make a team each, the drama shows a different scenario where the characters are unpredictable when it comes to their survival. The writer portrayed the raw intentions where a person can be selfish when it comes to dire situations which was pretty realistic. At first I was very doubtful if there would be any comedy, but trust me you will be cracking up badly. This drama is not a complete romance oriented, but you could feel the leads love for each other till the end. The only minus point is that the story was a little down in episodes 12 and 13 even though they had a lot of content left in the story. A lot of stuff was shown in the last two episodes which I felt was a bit of overload which clearly could have been distributed in a better way. And more importantly a lot of things were left unexplained in the end and I felt like they have have cut a lot of scenes to make it shorter. They should have made the drama extended to 20 episodes and show both romance and the mysteries surrounding the characters in an even more better way.

CAST
Coming to the cast, it was a perfect choice for every character. We have a power packed senior actors and younger actors also didn't lack to them in any way. This drama introduces debutant actress jisoo. She was really good. Though among the younger actors, Jung Hae In's acting was the most perceptible, she was no where lacking which is considered pretty good for a newbie.
Jang seung jo who plays kang moo was also good. This is my first drama with him in it. I have checked his insta and he looked like a pretty cute boy. But in the drama, portrays a person who works most of the time in a day and perfectly pulled out his look as a rough man who is dedicated and a workaholic. We also have great actors like Yoo in na, Kim hye yoon, Yoon se ah, Heo joon ho, Park sung woong and many more. So you don't have to worry about the cast as it is perfect in every way.

MUSIC
You have got some really melodious songs that you can groove all day long. Especially ''wishes'' by Jamie miller, you can feel the pain in the lyrics in his voice. The drama is blessed to be paired along with beautiful voices of Jamie miller, Sung si kyung, Kim hee won, Je hwi and Kevin oh.

OVERALL
So concluding it, definitely a very good drama to watch. I personally enjoyed the drama a lot and I felt a new touch in this drama that I've not experienced in other drama. We experience an 80's touch in the early drama but most of the story takes place in the dorm. The aesthetic touch of the drama was done carefully which gave a bit of royal and an 80's vibes. Do check out the tags for the drama as I've kept my review spoiler free. You might regret it if you chose not to watch this masterpiece.

The most mysterious yet heart-breaking story plotted in the Novoland.

This is my first review as I was strongly determined to write for this excellent drama that had me in tears, laughter and surprised.

Each and every character in this story has a unique personality and the best part is that everyone of them had depth in their character. Right from how they were laid out, the dialogues, the actors and everything was up to mark. We had a lot of predictions discussed in the comment section but only 10 percent of them came true. So you can say that this is not a drama where u would know what would happen next without any suspense and this is exactly what keeps you engaged all throughout the 48-episodes of this drama.

Every little detail in the drama has been attended to. Haishi’s sword is rather special. Her weapon adopts characters of her birthplace and her background or geographical elements. That’s how the sword is made. It’s handle is inlaid with sea shells to connect with her birthplace. Everything had reference to their personalities, the place where they grew up and so on.

Since this was a high budget drama, the action scenes were of high class. You could feel the goose bumps and your fingers on the rewind button. Scenic sets and the beautiful scenery laid out in the Hengdian World Studios would stun you.

This drama has a set of heartbreaking and touching ost’s from some of our favourite singers - Zhou Shen, Zhang Bichen, Jane Zhang, Zhang lei, Shuang Sheng and Li Qi , who are also known for the emotions in their voice which can nevertheless make you tear up…….

The drama kick starts with a mysterious and a beautiful mermaid saving our female lead when she was young. The CGI will absolutely stun you. The female lead - Haishi is someone who has grown up by watching the back of our male lead - Fang jianming. She admires him and her perspective of the world was acquired through him which makes him very special and important to her. Once haishi confesses her love to her shifu (master), he is taken aback by her action and starts to avoid her. He slowly realises that the care he has for his favourite disciple (who has been disguised as a male) is not something a master and a disciple share but instead it was something more….

It is a pity that fate has planned a cruel life ahead of them where each of them are held back by their responsibilities. Fang jianming has been loyal to the emperor his whole life which resulted in the slaughter of officials and people who stood as obstacles for their plan to balance the power in the court.

His only desire in his life was to protect the hard earned peace and protect the emperor, who was his very dear friend. But everything changed when Haishi appeared in his life. He now has someone whom he desires to protect. But he has sinned too much to have a happy ending with his beloved….

The tragic fate that life plays, hard earned affection, unyielding love, impenetrable souls that don’t waver even for a second, to protect the people from misery that war causes
They are all ready to sacrifice.

It would be great if only they shown up in their best years.

The Executive producer of this drama told something that I very much agree with -
''It has a unique worldview. This TV story is sad but a beautiful love story that resonates more with female viewers. The love in this series is actually tormenting. We often use the words tormenting and tormenting love.'' Gao chen (Executive producer)

‘’ Over a decade of compromise only leads to desperation. I want nothing more than to see my love ……… lead a normal and happy life’’
