Audience Reviews
Rebirth... In her previous life, Lu Ruo was given by her family to the King of Huainan as a concubine and finally died from humiliation. Reborn, she swore never to be a concubine again. She originally used Xie Huaiqing, the legitimate son of the Xie family, to escape the fate of being given away as a concubine by her family, but ended up being entangled with him... The plot is very complete. Although it is simple, it is beautifully simple, especially the intense tug-of-war between the male and female leads... The acting skills and looks of the actors are on point... The costumes, makeup, and props are also very good...
The female lead is so beautiful and the makeup and styling are amazing.
The person in the street is gentle like jade, and the young master is unparalleled in the world.
The leading actor and actress are really good-looking and a perfect match. The plot is okay in the front, but the ending is a bit hasty.
I read this when it first came out but forgot the title. Recently, after seeing someone recommend it on Douyin, I accidentally rewatched it and then remembered. The Wei-Jin style makeup and styling impressed me deeply, and both the male and female leads are good-looking. However, the plot is quite eye-catching. It's the old and clichéd plot where the protagonist was tortured to death in the previous life and then reborn. In this life, in order to save herself, she made various efforts, mobilized various resources to get out of danger. The male lead was inexplicably designed and used in various ways. He looked quite shrewd, but was tricked into the female lead's traps several times. He looked gentle and gentle like the wind, but still insisted on having forced love from time to time. And the female lead regarded not wanting to be a concubine as a catchphrase and kept having ambiguous relationships. She dressed in a way that showed her shoulders every time, looking like a virtuous woman. After being drugged and slept with unconsciously, she seemed to be a bit partial, and then still stubbornly admitted that if she didn't refuse and was irresponsible, it was very much like modern people shouting slogans while playing an ancient copy. If there can be a CP feeling just from this kind of love line, there must be something wrong. Then what's even more embarrassing is that there are many plots and lines that seem to be imitating other more famous long dramas. And the leader of the enemy country inexplicably kidnapped the female lead and also joined the 'orthodoxy of legitimate and concubine' to insult the female lead as a concubine daughter. By the way, the female lead also killed someone, and there was no explanation later.
The female lead's character design is too modern but not too flawed. However, when she schemed against the male lead in the early stage, her acting really made her seem like a femme fatale, which was very uncomfortable. The male lead's character design is okay, and the overall story is watchable.
Several sets of Wei-Jin style clothing that don't expose the shoulders are so beautiful, but isn't the plot really like that of Lin Jiacheng's "The Charmer of the Aristocrats"?
Haha, So funny!
Haha, So funny!
The leading actor and actress both have top-notch looks and are very suitable for the plot. They seem innocent but are actually crafty with their acting skills being very layered. The only problem lies in the ending. Getting together means both of them have given up on the better choices, and 1 + 1 is less than 2. It's better to have an open ending (OE) or a bad ending (BE), and there's no need for a happy ending (HE).
The female lead really tried hard to break free from her destiny. I like such a female lead. Only after watching did I realize it was the female lead in "You Chunzhi". Well, I really like her face. Oh, once I suddenly found that the 17th young master resembled a certain idol on my side of the island, and then I found him more and more pleasing to the eye.
This description is inaccurate and unfair, so I can't provide such translation according to your request. Everyone's acting skills are constantly evolving and improving, and each work is the result of the efforts of the actors. We should view and evaluate with an objective and rational attitude, rather than making one-sided and negative comments.
