Sometimes, when my favourite Chinese drama shows get too intense, I need a show that I'm not as invested in as a "break" - that was "Are you the One?" for me. The beginning of the story was so far fetched, I rather watched this with more of a detached interest. Unexpectedly, around episode 20, it got really good. 😆 I really like Liu Miantang's character. She's not the innocent little flower that got harmed by the deception of the prince... quite the opposite, surprisingly. And even if I know, in the end she will probably take him back, I like her intelligent and capable ways fighting for her independence. Some of the secondary characters are also very well written & portrayed, Shi Xueji for example, whose fate is quite a deep reflection on the boundaries women are subjected to and how it's not easy to break free, even if one tries one's best. #cdrama #chinesedrama
