Okay I normally do not watch dramas that are currently on air. I am the sort of person who waits till the drama is done, looks out for reviews on the drama as a whole and then begin. But this one piqued my interest and I intended to skim through the first episode but ended up watching 8 episodes at a stretch without skipping a beat. That is how intriguing the plotline is! Now I am on episode 14 and the plotline is still strong and the main cast has done an amazing job. The ming dynasty colors and costumes are totally appealing and they add to the overall production value of the drama. And yes it certainly has The Story of Minglan and The Story of Yanxi Palace vibes. So far I have seen a lot of comments on the age gap between the main leads, I totally understand, the romance will be cute if there is no great age gap. But that said you should also consider the storyline and the culture during the Ming Dynasty. The plot is about a Marquis/General in his early 30's who marries a second wife in her late teens and so considering that, the cast is perfect for the job. And for those of you who might think that there might not be a beautiful romance or chemistry because of the age gap between the leads then I must say you are sorely mistaken. So far the romance is subtle and beautiful and the chemistry between them is stunning. Not to mention the comedy that ensues between them in the beginning. All in all the drama has been promising and intriguing so far and if it goes downhill which I doubt, I will definitely update this review.
