Apology within!

First of all, I want to apologize to YangMi, Vin, and the other actors/actresses in this drama. I was not fair in my last rating. I won't give a full explanation as to why I had rated it so low during the time I watched it the first time. Just know I was under the duress of losing loved ones. I decided to watch it again, not only this one but the Negotiator as well. The storyline was great and it deserved better from me. I still really believe that YangMi does her best acting during historical dramas such as Eternal Love. She is one of my top Chinese actresses and always has been. I hope I am forgiven. Vin was so awesome in this and to see him in a different light was very uplifting for me. Everything else, the set, the production, the support actors, and the actresses all did a good job.

This was pretty decent. I loved the storyline. No competition on who gets who... I think this is more about avenging than anything else. The costumes, set, visuals, and martial arts were all there, so that is a good thing. I would re-watch it again but not right away. A lot of fighting in this one but not like a war type of fighting... The main lead actor/actress was awesome. I just love how loyalty plays a lot historically. I'm saying that sarcastically! I thank the whole team for this drama. I hope to see the two main leads in another drama.

Song Kang <--- I love this actor. I know he is new I hope he does more drama away from the horror films he likes to do. I am not a fan of vampires but this vampire movie was cute. I wished it was a drama with 16 episodes. If Song Kang can hear this... DO NOT PLAY ANY MORE HORROR FILMS! I would love to see you in a love story or historic adventure where it doesn't take 6 months to show. I love the momma character and the hidden closet. Whoever wrote the storyline needs write another one similar or rebuild this storyline into a longer one. Please please, please... I am scared to death of vampires (literally) but not this kind.

This was pretty nice. The actress in the main lead doesn't look like she could be in her thirties but she played the part with maturity. I love the main lead actor as he portrayed the younger man, he also played his part with maturity. So, therefore, the 12 years were chipped down to the same age. I am that older woman who has married a younger man 13 years my senior. I never looked my age not even not as a senior. I feel that we as women will hang in there for love but a younger man will not. I was married to him for 16 years. This is my personal opinion. I'm an American and I feel that men do not respect women here... marriage here is not sacred. In the case of a Korean older woman marrying a young Korean man... I would say that it could work. I'm happy that there are over 34,000 couples in S Korea where it is younger men/older women! I would love to see more dramas such as this one. Age is only a number, you can't change that, Love is Love and you can't change that either.

This drama is worth watching. Both main leads played their parts perfectly. Everything was right about this KDrama... I loved the storyline.

This storyline was different for me. I just wished it wasn't so chaotic in the beginning, maybe it was just me not prepared to view it. It calmed down a bit so I wouldn't lose focus. I get it now. I will have to rewatch it so I can grasp it better than I did. I love the main lead actress and have seen her other dramas. There is a similar American movie that this drama reminds me of. I realized that Zhao Lu Si's character is a screenwriter and her falling asleep set the whole story in motion. ZLS did a good job... I couldn't laugh at all that happened because I was trying to figure out the storyline but I got it now. I absolutely loved the ending. If I was acting in this drama, I wouldn't know if I was coming or going... I know they were laughing a lot on set. Ding Yu Xi your facial expression told it all. I applaud you! Thanks to everyone... I need to rewind and rewatch. I am looking forward to part 2.

I love how the storyline began, but after the story started its twist and turns, I skipped over episodes and went to the last episode. In my mind, I knew what was taking place so it is not like I skipped then ran to the ending. I loved the main characters and they would've held my focus but it is not their fault. This drama was not for me. There was a lot of action but the romance severed which I didn't like is why I gave it a 7. The costumes were beautiful, and the set was great. It is hard for me to know that in the dynasty days that women were forced to marry someone that didn't love just for the title of Empress. I have seen this play out during the Renaissance period which is a small part of my DNA Hx.

I love this storyline. The music was very loud in the first 26 episodes over drowned the actors speaking voices. It was such a great storyline that the music I just had to suffer with it. I love any story that has a strong, warrior-woman character. Sandra Ma was awesomely great, I love her in these types of roles! Peter Sheng, I mean, that red costume and his dance... so incredible. The character Peter Sheng played was pretty convincing. I know some men that have that same type of personality in real life. Mama's boy! It's all good. I will have to watch another drama where he doesn't take on that type of role. I can tell he has other talents. The Martial Arts were beautiful. It makes me wonder if Sandra Ma has trained in Martial Arts. I loved how the producers/directors portrayed Wang Chu Ran, she is a beautiful actress, and her costumes are just as beautiful. The storyline became successful with all the main and supporting actors and actresses. Job well done! Thank you!

This was a very cute drama. The only thing I disagreed with was the main leading actress, Yan Zhi Chao the character she played in. The producers/directors, I felt made her so immature like she was playing a child's role in the beginning episodes. YZC does have a face of a child with her age still being very young at 19. I thought she looks like a young child who was just too young for this role because of the storyline. Chen Jing Ke played a very mature role and he actually looked the part. I didn't feel the chemistry wasn't right at the beginning for CJK and YZC and felt that the role of Zhang Yin had better chemistry with YZC. The actress who played Jiang Jing had a better mature role for CJK. I am pretty sure they are all very good in their fields. The visuals and the sets were good. I am happy with this but not happy with this. This time I will rate the storyline.

cute!

This is a cute story regarding the age difference between the female and male lead. I believe that Age is only a number but my belief is not to date someone older than your eldest child that is if you have children. Ok, I got off target, I love the lead actor and actress, they made me emotional in their acting. I have a question for all those in South Korea, do the parents still control their adult children of whom they should marry or love and their career path? I love the storyline of this drama using music. That grand piano in black and red was simply beautiful. This is a re-watch for me but at a later date.

This was okay for me. No fantasy, so I was somewhat bored with it. I'm glad I wasn't born in that time period but my lineage was on the same lines back in the 1500s. The women who were consort and concubines were something else back then. They set their eyes on Power and kill or be killed just to be the main Queen but it is part of history. Watching these types of KDramas will have me learning about my own Hx. All the actors in this were very good and made the storyline believable. The costumes were beautiful. I think I only saw one actor with good Martial Art acting skills. he played the character of Cha Soo. 60 Episodes wow! I admit in a couple of the episodes I got emotional. I'm still trying to understand the ending. That's it for now.

This drama series was good! This time I didn't get confused with the parallel world of going back n forth... it was continual and was told right. I loved all the actors and the two main leads did tell a story. The only that was lacking for me is that the directors had Ji Sung a very weak character. I mean at first, he showed he was tired of his original wife nagging, screaming, and almost killing him. Then the character was just sobbing all the time while he was going through the motions. Men and Women were able to beat up on him and he never protected himself. That was my only dislike. But overall, I loved the storyline.

I'm sorry, another Chinese Drama that beautifies a suicide. The first one was "Goodbye My Princess". This would've been a 10 for me if not for that. During COVID-19 a lot of people are dying from this virus some people are committing suicide across the world. Suicide should not be glorified in any way shape or form. I became very emotional with the ending of this drama.

All but that the storyline was intriguing. Li Qin who played Shen Li Ge was really good. Another actress who can play a strong woman. Qin Hao who played Liu Yi Kang / Prince Peng Cheng, my first time watching in a CDrama... will be watching another one of his. Jason Koo who played Liu Yi Xuan / Prince Jing Ling is not my first time seeing this actor but always seen him play mean/evil parts. Watching him play someone that is good was a treat for me. Lu Zhan Xiang who played Kong Cheng was my favorite in this storyline, he is young but his acting abilities are spot on. All the other actors did great also. I didn't expect the leader of all the trauma happening in this CDrama. The storyline kept me focused on the plot. The music score was smooth. The visuals were awesome. The martial arts were okay.
