Feng qi Luo Yang

I've been a fan of this genre since a very small age. And tbh I'm quite picky when it comes to the choosing my favourites. I saw the trailer of this drama last year and wow, it was a banger and as soon as I could, I added Luoyang to my watchlist. Here are some points which I found honestly amazing in the series- 1) Spectacular Production: Luoyang has amazing cinematography, high- budgeted production and magnificent editing that makes you crave for Vintage content everyday. One of the most important reasons why it was one of the best mystery and suspense drama of all times.

2) Plot and Cast- This drama was released before the novel and this very thing just added to the goodness and suspense of it. Moreover, the side characters played a very good role too. For eg- Shen Fei, Bai Lang, etc The leads Gao Bingzhu, Baili Hongyi and Wu Suiye has become my dream team now. They are a perfect trio - one who isn't scared of taking risk is GBZ, one who is always upto justice and superiorly intelligent is Baili Hongyi and these two need Wu Suiye who is sensible and strong. I really loved the idea of team of three people who has nothing to do with each other and have come from different walks of life coming together to save their hometown from corruption. I really love their acting, good portrayal of characters, amazing character development of Baili Hongyi's personality ( I used to hate him at first but he became my favourite at last).

3) Portrayal of Women - I still get goosebumps with the way Luoyang portrayed Women Empowerment. A strong imperial guard Wu Suiye taking charge of the administration as a head among all the males, and the way these women were powerful without anyone's support, specially the Empress and the Club women is just chef's kiss. Besides, Liu Ran was the sweetness of this drama. Altogether, these women gave the idea of "Women can be loving and caring as well as your nightmare if you trespass them"

4) Relationship development- This drama has everything which will make it an audience favourite! I became so invested in the way the characters were warming up to each other. Whether it is GBZ and Baili's enmity changing into brotherhood or the sweet sour dynamics of our husband and wife- Baili and Liu Ran, or the dream team of GBZ and WSY and the brother sister instincts from Wsy and Baili. This drama was so good.

5) Special extras- I really like the idea of arranged marriages in series where two people fall in love gradually and close the distance of a respectable relationship gradually. So I will always be a fan of Bailiu couple.

Thanks for this long read if you could make it till here. Overall, Luoyang is a binge worthy series. Have a try even if this genre is not your taste, I'm sure it will not disappoint you ever. The drama team did a great job.

Wang Yibo's performance really improving a lot these days, and he never disappoints me with my expectations. The drama is completely enthusiastic and having good action plots as well. Don't hesitate to watch, just go for it, you will get addicted.

Wang Yibo's acting as Baili HongYi is unbelievable the small details he conveys with his facial expressions is just so unbelievable. Wang Yibo is an awesome actor! The Story line is so good!

Some people find a series drama pace are too slow especially for the series with more than 30 episodes.

Luoyang is different, you ended up watching this with your heart beats fast and out of sudden one episode ends.

The picturesque of Shendu city (Luoyang city back then) are so beautiful its jaw dropping, and it educate you on the custom during Tang Dynasty, during marriage, the kingdom. I also like the fact that they showed a lot of efforts of how a family member protect each other through their own capability and way.

Its really a good must watch drama and deserved a re-watch just to make sure we did not miss important clues the drama gave here and there.

I usually find Chinese movies too long and boring but this right here is a masterpiece, fast paced, beautiful cinematography and set, intriguing suspense and good acting. If you love suspense and beautiful scenes then this is definitely for you.
