Guys it's a must watch show ..it's absolutely wonderful ..different from the costume dramas I've seen so far..
This is the first show where I didn't care about the romance, chemistry, the leads meeting eo or the love story ..
Just the family dynamics of the fl is amazing to watch...abs hilarious & deep at the same time .
The first 10 epis the leads don't see each other ..the ott dramatic grandmother , aunt , and most imp niao niao kept me entertained
How beautiful , lovely , naughty, innocent but smart , clever , talented was she !
Her mother is another lovable character although she's too strict , biased & on surface she looks like she cares only for the rules & not her children ..i abs hated her when she ordered to beat up niao niao (btw I love this name ) , she went too far ..at the same time , she took care of her family politics with so much smartness ..she's not to be fooled ..I love this about her ...she goes overboard at times but she's also called out for it ..by niao niao, her husband , sons , and third aunt..when niao niao decided to reason it out with her about her biasedness (I think it was the table fiasco) , and she was totally flustered I love that scene ..
Abs love how niao niao just doesn't back off , with all the warnings & sterness ..that one scene where she says nobody is there for me so I'll be there , I won't expect anything from anyone & love myself ..brilliant 🤩
All the funny situations made me roll with laughter ..
But then there were people who loved niao niao ..her father , cousin, brothers , her maid , her third aunt (beautiful character ) & our hero ..the suitors , amongst them yuan shajian was the one I loved..him and niao niao were hilarious together , if it wasn't for our hero , I'd like to pair her up with this scholar guy.
So it takes a turn after 15 & niao niao is punished to be sent to huo county , there she faces the real world , and realized how her problems are so petty, also why her had to parents abandon her ..suddenly she matured a lot ..it was wonderful to see her strategize & protect herself and her people , sense the danger coming ..ofc hero saving the heroine just in time got to be the 👌
It also starts the stupid love story of niao niao and Yao. I initially disliked him but he grew on me..he was stupid , like a clown but innocent hearted like niao . No wonder she found a mate ..both were childish & away from reality..she just wanted to run away from her family situation & this was the first guy who proposed n she said yes ..n in her mind it was just taking care of her , listening to her ..she was good for him coz she was strong but he wasn't good for her coz two weak people can't build a future ..
The places where all the 3 of them appear were funny ..here , I loved niao's mother a lot 🤣 n wanted her to continue be the roadblock in the marriage.
So the wedding was called off due to circumstances & our hero stepped in ..
His majesty was again another adorable character..funny ..& caring towards zisheng ..
So the best part in this show is every scene , no matter how inconsequential or funny they make it , had a lot of dept ..choices were questioned ..they were discussed & solutions were sought after ..the proposal scene was SO well done...niao's mother rejecting the proposal n her reasoning n how niao was mocked for it , how he stood up for her n she finally said yes ..one cud really help but pity her.
All said n done I thought niao will appreciate his protectiveness but she proved me wrong ..she thought he's suffocating just Luke her mother..frm one hell hole she didn't want to go to another but she had no choice..
The family scenes where he gives military training to all is damn funny 🤣 and then she tells him what needed to be told ..correct him ..both took a step back , only then niao niao realised he's the one ..
All in all abs an endearing show & a must watch 😍
