At first when my sister suggested this show to me, i was skeptical because i’ve seen some bad chinese historical dramas so didn’t want to give it a go initially. HOWEVER, I still went on mainly due to the beautiful casts of this show. I was surprised by the first episode, didn’t know 44minutes could flew by so fast.

Storyline:
I can say that LLTG storyline is not boring at all though there are still some cringe worthy moments, but still bearable. At first, i was definitely confused by the political shits that was happening but as the episode goes on, it cleared my doubt and i can reason with Ling Buyi/Huo Wushang’s actions. Believe me, each episode is interesting as they slowly uncover all the bad deeds that it will make u curious for the next episode so 56 episodes wont be such a drag for u.

Cast:
Honestly, remarkable cast. I can’t say more because just by watching and observing all the emotions they put in, a masterpiece is born. Wu Lei was good at keeping a straight and frowny face and omg when he gets mad, it’s HOT. Rosy who portrayed as Shaoshang was so bubbly and cheerful yet she’s a woman who is not scared of bullies and instead fight for her own rights, a true definition of women empowerment. It was truly relatable when she’s also someone who keeps everything inside her heart till it was too much for her to handle therefore, burst into tears infront of her fiance. Not gonna lie, the bullies were so good at acting i legit felt like i wanna punch them. All in all, there’s no bad actor in this show and this show will surely make u cry a river.

But if there’s one thing i want it to be better; uhm kissing scenes wise i would love it if it’s not just them putting their lips together but showing a good kiss considering how much angst moments they’ve been through. Second, personally the ending was alittle underwhelming since we couldn’t see their wedding though they did say they gonna get married but i still want to see it!!! However, everyone got their own happy ever after i guess so all’s good.

I strongly recommend people to watch this show! It’s a comedy + full of angsty moments where u gotta get ur popcorn ready and be comfortable at ur own seat. Oh not to forget, the Emperor and Ah Fei were the true comedians in this show with our little Shaoshang :) i’ve found gold so let’s all be happy and watch this comedy x historical show to boost ur happiness!
