3 Reasons To Watch The Empowering C-Drama “The Legend Of Zhuohua”
) is the seventh daughter of the richest man in Jiangnan. Since her mother was a concubine, Mu Zhuo Hua is considered “illegitimate.” Though her family had charted the road map of her life, which is marriage to a man chosen by them, little do they realize the feisty Mu Zhuo Hua has other plans for herself. She is driven and determined in her passion for study and is also a skilled physician. Her sole aim is to take the province’s civil examination and serve in the capital.
Mu Zhuo Hua braves the odds and discrimination to establish herself in a male-driven society. She is astute, quick-witted, and clever. Not one to shrink in the face of challenges, she questions society and its outdated practices. It is Liu Yan’s progressive ideas which allow women to participate in government affairs, and he encourages Mu Zhuo Hua in her quest to take the metropolitan exam.
The drama questions how women should not only have the right to education but also the freedom of choice when it comes to marriage and the plight of courtesans. Zhou Hua is aware that in society she will always be regarded as the illegitimate child, but she does not want her birth to decide her fate. Her mother, who has taught her to be independent, has inculcated a love for learning. Well aware that she does not stand much of a chance in a patriarchal set up, she is willing to take that chance.
It is a departure to have a heroine who defies the archetype of women usually seen in period dramas. She regards herself as an equal with her male counterpart even though society eyes her gender through the lens of prejudice. In her we also find a voice of a woman who wants to empower other women and not disempower them to win favors from those in power. It is Jing Tian’s uninhibited performance which adds spunk to Mu Zhuo Hua, making her an interesting character.
As the two find themselves thrown together, Liu Yan, though protective about Mu Zhuo Hua, never holds her back when it comes to her decisions, which wins him solid brownie points. A cute yet mature love story, the relationship between the two is that of two equals. And though “The Legend of Zhuohua” is a bit too long, it is still worth the watch.
