This C-drama is a gem. One of it's kind. I have seen many famous & highly commercialized c-dramas. But Bloody Romance is really a masterpiece - a unique & interesting story, tight plot, excellent cinematography, some brilliant show of acting skills of 3 main leads and even villains; make it a must watch.
This drama will keep you on the edge of your seat pretty much the whole time because everyone is always on the brink of death. One wrong move could get them killed. Bloody Romance is in a world of its own. I can't think of another dram that's remotely similar to compare it to. Even though there are fantasy elements, it didn't feel cheap at all.
Having watched many other K & C-dramas like ashes of love, eternal love, untamed, princess agent, legend of fuyao etc etc, I just happen to watch this drama recently. I am truly knocked out and struggling to find another drama which can merely match 20% of this class, truly a masterpiece.
And the real standout performance of this drama is Wang Duo's portrayal of Gongzi. He is best of the best in Bloody Romance. A super star. He nailed this complicated, twisted , mysterious, calculative, sickly, arrogant yet sad n sorrowed, and extremely handsome prince character skillfully and articulately.
Gong Zi is truly one of the most memorable drama characters. I really loved how Wang Duo broke down all the layers for this character - sheer brilliance.
Gong Zi is a character that grows onto you over time when you begin to dissect all his layers. Wang Duo did an excellent job as Gong Zi, skillfully carrying out every subtle change to every expression for this otherwise emotionless character. Gong Zi is a very broken person that is unpredictable and you never know exactly what he's trying to do until it's done.
I always been a silent audience do not bother to comment on forums about drama/movie or actors / actresses. But this drama compelled me to register on forums so that I can show my love to this true gem - a masterpiece.
Highly Recommended.
