The drama title is a mouthful, If Time Could Stop at The Moment When We First Met (人生若只如初见) is adapted from Fei Wo Si Cun’s novel, Seige in Fog (迷雾围城) with OTP in Elvis Han Dong Jun (Wu Xin The Monster Killer) and Sun Yi (Fifteen Years of Waiting for Migratory Birds). I really love the rich colorful costumes of this drama, reminding me of Li Yi Feng’s The Legend of Fragrance quite a bit. But of course, the story has my eyebrows raised since I was never a fan of this author’s brand of romance.
Character Posters:
The story follows arrogant third master (Elvis) of a powerful family falling in love at first sight with a pretty young maiden (Sun Yi) and uses every means possible to force her hand in marriage, despite her harboring a crush on another man (Jeremy Tsui). In the beginning of a coerced marriage, she resents him and rejects all his advances and gestures of love, but their love story slowly develops after going through obstacles in times of war and chaos. However, things get interesting/complicated when her old flame returns to become her husband’s assistant.

Can I just say this is one of my fav eras for fashion? So much awesomeness in styling. Love the interchangeability between lavish rich thick two piece traditional wear to sharp detailed tailored suits. And the small details of luxury, like the pocket watch chains. That’s got to be my fav part, the pocket squares and pocket watch cross chains and the neck-scarf-piece-thingy (that they wear under the shirt in place of a tie).
The plot sounds absolutely horrible but Elvis looks so fine! And the styling looks so dapper, I’d watch for the eye candy, if only for a few eps.

Yes, yes, yes! Love the styling! I know it’s not completely accurate but it’s so pretty to look at!
Lol@The Plot.

Looks like Elvis couldn’t escape the fate of filming a Fei Wo Si Cun adaptation. =P
Interestingly, the Chinese title is actually from a famous poem by Nalan Xingde who was one of the main characters in The Chronicles of Life, another FWSC adaptation. Now I want to know why they used it. Perhaps the maid had had a good impression of the third master before his real colors were revealed? Or maybe it’s the other way around with him finding out that love at first sight doesn’t really exist and that it’s just lust at first sight. Lol.
Liking the color palette of the costumes so far. Let’s see if the acting and plot will be as good as the aesthetics!

Unfortunately, he’s stuck! Sigh! Looks like war time and close proximity will be third master’s approach to the lady’s heart! Just look at his attitude. XD

It feels so nice to not to see bright pastels. Literally Chinese dramas these days are way too bright and full of pastels. The stylist for this show chose such beautiful warm rich colors.

Good bulk discount if you buy lots of boots at once? lol Or the boot store owner is a friend of the producer. 😛 You know, you can’t sell leather boots when your friend makes wuxia series, so you need to go all out with Republican series.
Lead actors and costume look very nice. Though I’m not into flashy coats like our Boss Kap, our true fashion icon.
The directors’ previous series didn’t seem too watchable though. Then there is the “autocratic love” plot line, which is surprisingly popular with the masses. Legend of Fragrance had a signature scene with 2 leading men shooting guns next to a lead girl’s ears. I suppose if you really want to publicize you only use fake guns with no sound in your series, then that mission is accomplished. The contrivances…
I thought they used to refer to Jeremy Tsui as Joe Xu. I thought Tsui is Cantonese romanization. And Xu sounds like he is from Mainland, and most likely not a Cantonese speaker.

I quite like the story line. Kinda feels like a rendition of BOF.
