Chun gui meng li ren

A refreshing period drama, with some really good actors, kept me engaged from beginning to end. I'd like to mention Ding Yu Xi first, I remember commenting his face to be expressionless in the drama 'Moonlight'. I take my comments back in this series, his acting was top notch, and he truly deserved to be the hero of the show. As for supporting actors Yi Da Qian and Ma Ke, I had seen their work before and liked them too, they didn't disappoint here as well, and did complete justice to their characters. Now I'd come to the female lead Peng Xiao Ran...well what can I say, she might not be the prettiest of actresses out there, but she has a spontaneity in her acting that captivates the audience, add to it a well written character, of a strong and independent heroine, and I cannot ask for more! Strong FL's are as it is my weakness, and I just love the shows where the ML and the FL are both competent and intelligent and complement each other. The chemistry between the leads was great, and I enjoyed seeing them together. All female supporting cast were amazing in their roles too, so a big shout out to the entire team, the producers, and screenwriters, for creating such a good show!
