Cast & Role
Ye Shao
(Hei Ze)
Yuan Ming Yu
(Lu Yan Qi)
It really struck a chord with me. Every character here is well-rounded. The female lead is the kind of mature woman who knows how to flirt and take the initiative. If she realizes that the other person doesn't like her anymore, she can quickly detach herself.
In my opinion, she's a character breaking away from traditional female narratives, exceptionally brave and amazing.
As for the male lead, he's a different kind of person. Due to his identity, he has always suppressed his emotions, making him appear passive.
Despite being skilled in martial arts, he's incredibly sensitive and carries a unique sense of brokenness. He's the most distinctive character that Hei Ze has ever portrayed.
