Fan Ye is wearing a knitted pellerin or poncho on the drama's promotional pictures. I was wondering a bit about that, but now when I see we're in Qing (or perhaps Qing-ish) dynasty it checks out. Knitting has been a thing for at least one hundred years at this point.

So help me! It'll take _ages_ for me to get through this drama! Those roller blinds in the background is genious! And that storage unit on the kang!... Tomorrow I'll definitely watch with a sketchbook on hand. While I joke about travelling to Heng Dian World Studios with a handbag of holding, the overweight on the flight home would kill me. Better then to start my billionth DIY project!

I was impressed by the quality of this drama 2min in - I could go on for hours about editing, light, costuming, direction, etc. Unfortunately most of it are moving or 'under observation', so it's hard to pick examples. Here's one though; the pretty male lead is allowed to be ugly-ugly. Usually idol drama leads are aesthetically ugly, but he's just doing a potato sack cough.

And that bed! Definitely destined for my handbag of holding!
