C-drama Review: Palace Shadows: Between Two Princes (嫁东宫)

Palace Shadows, between two princes AKA 嫁东宫 is one of the short web drama that I watched not long ago. To be honest, I just don’t understand why there are many Chinese dramas whether the standard or web short drama, the English title really nothing related to the Chinese title for example this one, Jia Dong Gong translated as married crown prince. Forget about the title, here I would share my two cents about this drama.

Synopsis:
The Prince of Yan Kingdom, Yu Fei Chen (Lin Ze Hui), marries the daughter of the general who controls the country, Yin Nan Yao… or so everyone thinks. The bride he gets is actually Yue Jian (Zi Zi Xu Zhen Zhen), an assassin from a secret organization sent to claim his life. But the Prince is not all he appears to be either; he is an undercover agent who works to expose the criminals and punish the unrighteous. As these two play their games around each other and get to know each other, Yue Jian finds herself becoming more and more reluctant to kill Yu Fei Chen. Likewise Yu Fei Chen, with his dual identity and a overarching view of the whole situation, is increasingly reluctant to expose this “substitute bride” he has come to care for.

My Two Cents:
This drama has quite interesting story plot because both of the ML and FL are having double identities. The prince is playing as double, one as himself (the crown prince) and another identity is his younger brother who has different color eyes (second prince who actually had died when he was young). While the FL is an assassin who replaced general’s daughter and married the prince. To be honest, I really care less about the story plot because every episodes not more than 10 mins but somewhat it hooked because the chemistry shown by the actress and actor.

Also, none of the actors and actresses I recognized. Judging from their face, these people might idol or trainee before. Their acting still so green but watchable. At least these people are shown better show than some actresses or actors who paid high to S budget yet giving S**t quality of acting.

I do recommend you to watch this drama if you want to see fresh face with watchable acting. The story is also interesting.
