Meng hua lu

Back when women were not supposed to run businesses, when musicians and dancers had pariah status, Zhao Pan'er (Liu Yifei), a former dancer, owned a restaurant in a village outside the capital. When she got word that her fiance, who was in the capital taking the civil exam, wanted to break off their engagement to marry the daughter of a prominent family, Pan'er trekked to the capital with her best friends. Along the way, she got entangled with Gu Qian Fan (Chen Xiao), deputy Commissioner of the Capital Security Office.

How Pan'er and her friends, all pariahs, change their fates makes for an engrossing and uplifting watch. The romance is quite delectable too.

Not only the storyline, but also the actors and actress, the scene and costume are all beautiful and elegant. Chenxiao is the beat actor, whose eye contact with liu yifei is so attractive. I am almost fall in love with this guy.

I heard it's very popular in China now. Nice to see Crystal Liu's new drama again,she is so beautiful and performed very well in the Meng hua lu. I learned a lot about ancient Chinese culture from this drama.

Solid script, beautiful cinematography. Full of Chinese cultural aesthetics. All cast did great in this drama! Liu Yifei is such a beautiful and talented actress! So glad to see her returning to c-dramas.

Highly recommend this drama if you're interested in c-dramas, especially historical c-dramas!

I really like this drama. The lead actor and actress are really good looking. Their love story is fascinating and convincing. Once you watch it, you won't get confused as to why they fall in love with each other. Cause as soon as you see their face, you can't help loving them.
