Modern issues are incorporated into costume dramas in a way that can feel like they're simply shouting for slogans. The plot revolves around Yang Zi's familiar portrayal of the heroine, but it often falls into predictability with the stereotypical storyline. While the makeup and visual presentation are undeniably appealing, the story is monotonous.

Yang Zi's performances have become quite formulaic. Despite the time that has passed, she hasn't demonstrated significant growth in her acting skills, and her approach now feels exaggerated at times. Her expressions can leave the audience unsure if she's laughing or crying. Li Xian delivers solid acting, but even his talent isn't enough to lift the overall production.

I find the female main character to be a bit fragmented. When she interacts with others, she often comes off as overly optimistic. She reassures those around her that everything will be fine in the future and that success in her career will lead to better days. While I appreciate her positivity, I sometimes feel overwhelmed by these repeated affirmations. It makes me wonder: why is she so confident? It's like I have a special insight, knowing that she's the main character who is destined to succeed. However, the tone of her dialogue feels a bit off; she seems a little too soft, which can take away some excitement from the plot. Additionally, her success doesn't appear to come from her hard work or intelligence but rather from the good conscience of the male protagonist.

YZ's facial expressions are a bit stiff. I feel unemotional when she acts, but when she cries, it feels like overacting. I recall my memories of other dramas she has been in.

The drama "The Blooming Beauty" feels like a cure for insomnia. Its slow pacing, repetitive dialogue, and lack of engaging plot twists make it a tedious watch. Despite its lavish costumes and set designs, the story struggles to hold attention, leaving viewers yawning rather than captivated. Even the characters feel underdeveloped, making it hard to connect with their journeys. Overall, it's a visually appealing but emotionally hollow production that fails to deliver the excitement or depth one might expect. Also the overly smoothed skin of the actors, particularly the lead, Yang Zi, gave them an unnatural and plastic-like appearance.

Yeah I don't really like this genre of drama, although I like Yang Zi and Li Xian. But the previous drama was better, maybe I was also quite dependent on the make-up that was adapted to that era. But my yangzi is still beautiful, it just feels awkward. Miles' role is somehow more wow and makes you irritated .

So far I will still watch and see the development. Maybe in the future this drama will present something unexpected. For now I stop and save the episode first. For the rest I like especially the setting and editing I have no doubts about the background used in Chinese dramas. Very beautiful.

Apparently, too many fans have come here just to hate Yang Zi. FLOURISHED PEONY is an excellent drama! Don't listen to other if you haven't even try to watch this. Flourished Peony has a strong start. It excels in every aspect, whether it's the pacing, storyline, character design and performance, historical setting restoration, OST, or cinematography. It's TANG DYNASTY. It is truly a masterpiece!

From kneeling and begging for help, to the shock of being exposed, then breaking down in tears confiding in Yulu, and finally erupting in anger and despair upon hearing Liu's father and Liu Chang, exclaiming, "She is not my servant; she is my sister!"-it was all seamless and absolutely perfect. The emotional transitions were executed flawlessly, and Yang Zi's acting is truly the biggest draw of the show. It's so moving; I was completely wrecked and in tears.

Also, passerby's reflection on the depiction of the sensitive topic of domestic violence in #FlourishedPeony and how it reflects the limited protection of women's rights during the Tang Dynasty

"Every word and every action of He Weifang is not to magnify the helplessness of the victims, but to let the audience see the resistance and rebirth after violence. This writing style is not divorced from the historical truth, but also shows the rare modern progress."

Yang Zi's drama will always assure you one thing, SHE WILL NEVER DISAPPOINT YOU when it comes to acting. Sometimes the script aren't that good but it will always be her who will keep the audience watching. When you see her act, you'll want more and more from her. Now that she have her own studio, she can choose whatever drama she wished to be in to. Also, never undestimate her as an actress. Even her "Love Endures" did great despite the lack of promotion and was aired in different countries TV including South Korea and trended on SNS when the twists happened. How versatile Yang Zi is what makes the viewer hooked and stay.
