Choi Yoon is my life
Brazil
I just finished this drama and I can say it was a good one but not the best.
The pros:
The story is set in the imperial harem and the daily lives of the imperial concubines are imagined, detailed and portrayed in a way that I don't expect to see in any other drama.
Characters are really really good. Especially Consort Hua and the Empress. They were the characters that kept me interested throughout the drama. Their backgrounds, reasons, intentions and feelings give their characters such a charisma that I think I will never forget.
Visually the drama is second to none and acting is outstanding in a way I can't stress enough. Also details in behavior, customs and mindset of the characters are very well done.
The music is wonderful and couldn't be more perfect and appropriate.
The cons:
The beginning of the drama is very slow. It takes a long, long time for something important to happen.
Too many times I felt like the writers were focusing too much on side stories and the main plot was less important and didn't feel as elaborated. I never felt like it was the story of Zhen Huan. I mean, she was there and all but her story was never the focus of the drama, like the title suggests. The writers were too busy with side plots and touched too little on her story. We're talking about a drama that is 76 episodes long, people! And we're also talking about a drama that is called 'The Legend of someone' but that someone doesn't do much??
Before watching this drama I thought Zhen Huan was going to be a badass protagonist but she just happens to do nothing...
One of its mistakes was the weak ending. I was expecting so much more!I never felt like it was actually ending except for the fact of having watched too many episodes. The ending happens out of nowhere. There isn't a strong build up. It just happens out of the blue... I'm not saying the ending doesn't make sense, but you'd never see it coming because there isn't enough build up and you can't guess what the main character's intention is in the first place. Like throughout the drama you can never get a clue of what's she's thinking of doing or planning to do. Is it the best decision when writing a story? The main character should be the one you know best but I guess not here.
