Blossom, a historical drama featuring Meng Ziyi and Li Yunrui, has emerged as an unexpected dark horse this December. After all, this isn't a show featuring top traffic stars with droves of fans tuning in, and when word-of-mouth propels viewership, you know it's good. 

If you went in with no expectations, the first episode quickly reveals the theme of the show—rebirth, but also not your usual ill-fated lovers. This time around, the leads had just met. It's a fast-paced episode, and it doesn't feel like one of those where you just want to gloss over the past life. 

《九重紫》是由演員孟子義和李昀銳主演的一部古裝劇，在今年12月意料之外地成為了一匹黑馬。畢竟，這部劇并沒(méi)有頂級(jí)明星自帶流量加持?？亢每诒A得收視率，是佳作最好的證明。

如果你追劇前沒(méi)有預(yù)期，第一集很快就揭示了該劇主題——重生，但不是老套的命途多舛的戀人重生。這一次重生之前，兩位主角才剛剛相遇。這一集劇情節(jié)奏很快，并不會(huì)像往常那樣讓你想要跳過(guò)。
