After so much behind-the-scenes drama around the casting and production prep for period politics and romance C-drama Revenge it’s a relief to see the drama actually start filming. Starring Zhang Ling He and Lu Yu Xiao, the two play young sweethearts torn apart when his crown prince character is assassinated and she marries his younger brother the new crown prince to investigate and avenge him. He comes back with a new face and identity for revenge which includes her since he thinks she betrayed him. Zhang Ling He in character looks like Pei Wen Xuan from The Princess Royal if he actually followed through with a revenge plot, and Lu Yu Xiao is kinda unrecognizable to me she either has a new face or the hair/makeup is just that change inducing. A few interesting other cast members include typical female lead Liang Jie taking a second female lead role here and Wang Hong Yi as the third male lead except he’s actually playing the pre-assassination crown prince so the version before Zhang Ling He takes over. Lol, I hope the actual S+ budget drama is as interesting as the drama has been to cover from its production tea.
