First Sight Love do Exist - eh?

I have been waiting for several weeks for this series to finished airing - Yes I don't watch ongoing series up until it finished.

Finally Tencent Videos Apps / WeTV released the final subbed 6 episodes and I swoosh in and finished it in just 10 hours.
Each episodes are worth 35 minutes (inc intro and credits) and there are 34 episodes in total - imagine how many hours have I skipped.


SPOILER BELOW!!!

EDIT:
I totally agree with previous review - there are some unnecessary plots that they shouldn't have added to make it more action-drama and the story is very fluffy and if you enjoy seeing the main couple to be the highlight, you'll definitely love this series! <3

I'm not going to said this is fluffy and light, I'll said it's very fluffy and a little heavy.

That aside, let me summarize this story up for those of you who wanted to watch it and is looking for a bit of spoiler (I always did before I stepped into a new drama because my heart cannot take bad ending!). Take note that I did not read the novel and this is solely my opinion.

Story - 7/10
I've wanted to rate this as 8 but then as I went from one episodes to another, the plot keeps bothering, triggering and confusing my simple and hopeless romantic heart. As they tried to center to the love of FL & ML, they cut a lot of explanation on how the side story flows (side story here is any story not related to MC's love story).

Episodes 1 to 14: Where the love develops and the most fluffy of all. How the FL fall in love at the first sight and her persistent to make him leave the palace to be with her is super cute. How ML slowly developing his feelings for her too and how he always tried to save her when she was in trouble. Here is where you notice the two-faced of 2nd ML and where you'll stop rooting for him.

Episodes 15 to 29: Where the love has made the palace turned upside down. It is annoying how the story can be easily solve with just a few honesty but no, FL still trying to protect her 'family' and apparently, his father status was never brought up anymore compare to the earlier episodes. As they tried to get 2nd ML to support the city, I cannot stop wondering few actions taken. Here are where I skipped most of the episodes (since I'm getting sleepy), but as I went through it again today to write this, I notice how few of the side story was developing within this episodes. It will keep you questionable on his actions at first. Here is when their General - Maid love turned to Prince - Maid love.

Episodes 30 to 32: Here's where they slowly unwrap the characters and stories but bringing in more devastating action. It is somehow very nice to see Princess Rong Jing which was another logic FS. She helps FL more than her own sister and I'll say, this is real devotion. The story develops and misunderstanding however keeps the story on the way that it annoyed me. But here's when his so-called sacrifice and foolishness at it's max.

Episodes 33 to 34: The story is ending and the truth finally was spoken. Apparently all ML do is for 2ML sake and Queen Dowager is still annoying af. Apparently ML was just a puppet in the city politics just to safe the MF 2ML. What a twist. I think the ending was a bit rush and irrelevant but I'm still happy that ML and FL get each other at last - hey, love win.

Acting - 7.5/10
I was on re-watching binge of The Eternal Love of Dream and I cannot help myself comparing Su Jin's character with Feng Jiu. I will definitely can see Dilraba's Feng Jiu style of acting with how Kabby Hui carries Su Jin's - being that both are supposed to be young, cute and foolish of love.

At first, I wanted Ryan Zhang to be first ML since I love him in The Flame's Daughter but as I went into more episodes, I now understand why he was the SML. He really fit the mischievous, despicable and devious kind of character on how he potrays Jing Hong - although he was very adorable in TFD.

I just knew that this is Chen Jing Ke debuted drama and oh how lucky he is to be debuted as ML. His acting skills is a bit questionable sometimes but I would say he learnt a lot and it gets better when you get into more episodes. I love how broad his shoulders is and how well his costume looks on him. His body is unffffff--------- (please see episode ep 11)

I am pleased on how every casts are very pleasant looking, even up to small role as in side consort and maids.

Final Review
I don't mind the music at all but I don't think I will re-watch it anytime sooner. If I ever did, I will definitely just skipping to the ML & FL fluffiness and ignore all those stupid side story (besides Rong Jing and General Zhong's). Although the ending is a happy ending, it makes you flipped the last few minutes before you get the couple's good ending.

Overall, it is worth the watch and the score fit this movie well - 7.7 stars.
