Sound of the Desert aired in 2014, but
it was not till two years later did I start to watch it. I completely had no
expectations coming into this C-Drama; thus by the end of episode 1, I was
completely hooked and could not get enough of it. A unique story line, amazing
casts and epic love triangle made it into an unforgetful drama.
The renowned
author of Scarlet Heart, Tong Hua,
created Xin Yue, an orphan, who was raised by wolves and later adopted by a Han
scholar. Due to a political dispute, she is left wandering the desert with her
wolf family. In a mist of sand, she meets two men, Mo Xun and Wei Wu Ji, each with
distinguishable background. Her path to build her entertainment parlor in Chang’an
allowed her to crossed paths with Mo Xun, an influential businessman in Chang’an,
and handsome, but cold General Wei Ju Ji.
An
extraordinary love triangle between Xin Yue, Mo Xun and Wei Wu Ji will cause
viewers heartache. I myself am I not a big fan of love triangle because it can
be messy and diminished the story line. This was not the case in this drama;
these two amazing men love her with all their heart. It was hard to not dislike
them any less. What a girl to do when love by these men?
General Wei
Wu Ji had my heart from the very beginning. There was no room for Mo Xun to
squeeze in. I may be biased due to the fact that I love the actor, who played
Wu Ji, Eddie Peng. With that in mind, I played a neutral front to carefully
investigate these two men to find the more suitable lover for Xin Yue.
Mo Xun, a
great man, who did not let his disability hold him back from becoming a successful
business. His generous personality made him love by many, which was no surprise
when Xin Yue fell for him hard. He felt the same to her, but he let his disability
hold him back from attaining his only wish (to be with her) in life. An
ignorant side of him caused him to make mistakes; yet he does not learn from
them until it’s too late. It seems he did not place her highly on his
priorities list.
Silently
staying by Xin Yue’s side, Wu Ji never gave up on wooing her. As a general, he
tactically fought battles that enforced him to learn from his mistakes from day
one. One mishap is enough place him one step behind his enemy or in this case his
love rival, Mo Xun. In his mind, he always regretted not finding Xin Yue first
when she arrive in Chian’an; thus once he found her, he never stopped chasing
her. Why he’s the better lover? He simply placed Xin Yue’s happiness at the top
of his priorities. There is nothing in the world that matter more than her
being happy.
Till this
day, I am still suffering from major withdrawal from Sound of the Desert. I cannot get over the fact that I have not
watched it any time sooner. This drama ruins me for other romantic ones,
especially Wu Ji’s character. Good job Eddie Peng for an amazing job at
portraying Wu Ji!
