Legend of Mi Yue (2015)

Strong, scheming and ambitious female leads. Both of them have dealt with a lot of political issues. They become King's mothers.

It's more realistic, real historical based, better acting skills, better politics & wisdom, rich in all types of emotions, 100x better story line than this Song Of Phoenix !

The King's Woman is about the story of emperor of Qin Ying Zhen. It's more or less related to this Legend Of MiYue's about the later part of Qin empire. It all started from this Legend of MiYue as the beginning part of story that later relates to Qin empire. Which the emperor of Qin - Ying Zhen would be MiYue's great grandson.

Main Lead becomes a powerhouse queen
The relationship between the emperor and future queen is always turbulent until the end
The costume design is fantastic and the drama between all the concubines, including all the intrigue and in-fighting is a must for a typical Palace Drama.

It's not a palace drama and she never becomes an Empress, but the character growth and progression as well as her experiences remind of the characters typical in a palace drama. I'm sure there's a palace drama that exists where's the villain/antagonist but this is her story. And it's a good one.

The Legend of Mi Yue is the predecessor of the Qin Dynasty Epic. The former drama depicts how the Mi clan who was originally from the Chu Kingdom, had come to be so powerful within the Qin Kingdom. It (The Legend of Mi Yue) also dispels the common belief that the terracotta soldiers were the making of Qin Shi Huang, but in fact have dated a few generations back to his great grand mother, Mi Yue. The drama provides some background on the significance of Shang Yang's philosophy of Legalism which young Ying Zheng is made to study in this drama (Qin Dynasty Epic).

Both the lead actresses have some other life fantasy, and they get something else out of life. The inner court, society, family, and war field is a journey of thinking to establish a balanced state by passing/opposing all these. There are similarities in the story, I will not spoil the story by telling those similarities
