REVENGE. When you see Wu Jin Yan, in a historical C-Drama, you know it's a must click and see!
You cannot go wrong with our FL in a revenge drama. It's been her forte ever since Yanxi's Palace. This is a great drama. 100% engrossing, from the very gut wrenching opening scenes. I saw red, I wanted BLOOD! lol.
I binged the 27 episodes on DC nonstop. Our FL & ML chemistry is off the charts as they become entertwined in solving plots and exacting the sweetest most SATISFYING revenge, on seriously twisted and evil people. The supporting cast are top notch, expect the best acting from our anti-heroes. and the slight bit of slapstick humour will roll right off you. As for the story, there are many but all are related, the most significant, and overarching one being, the plot to overthrow the king, though it only simmers in the background of a lot of other riveting stories for almost 16 episodes, be careful to pay attention to it. We are well into the 20s before that sinister plot begins moving forward at a lively pace, while still being orbited by the other swirling stories.
There is romance but our female lead is very strong (without being obnoxious) and a perfect match for our riveting, very masculin hero to the rescue. Yes, cliché, just the way we love em (and not the way we don't)! there will be lots of curiously right-on-time, rescuing. The romance of the main characters, is well paced and doesn't drown out our other plots, in fact it just creeps up in you and settled in, while they accomplish thier separate goals together. Wu Jin Yan has matured in the romance department as well. She wasn't as good with working that romantic energy and her kissing scenes before. You can tell she worked on it. She is far more comfortable now, and it shows here. Sparks do fly!
BUT again, the level satisfaction you will get from the pay-back for unconsciounable teeth clenching evils, will have you releasing built up tension over and over.
What else can you ask, from a revenge drama? Nothing. This is a 10 for me based soley of the 27 of the 40 episodes I've seen so far. Whether it drags later, I don't even care, when it's more than half done and it's this kind of good, it's a 10.
