The beginning definitely drags and I wasn’t fully hooked until maybe episode 30 but this is only because I like watching dramas where the lead couple gets together and tackles situations together which is exactly this drama! Strong female lead with a strong male lead! The romance isn’t the best but the story definitely adds on to its effect. Everything that our leads have gone through makes me really happy that they were able to get their happy ending. I just hope there was more to their happily ever after since the whole time our main leads were just trying to survive.

This drama had a very interesting story. I’ve never watched the other versions so I came in with an open mind. SHJ’s acting was amazing! I haven’t bawled in a drama this much since forever! I loved how the characters stayed true to themselves and stayed the same. Not to say that there were no developments or progress with the characters but rather the opposite. Our two leads stayed true to themselves by accepting their flaws and deciding to stick it out together. Not to mention the amazing kissing scenes! LMK and SHJ has such great chemistry together it’s honestly so adorable. And through out everything our leads go through I’m so glad that they were able to get a happy ending that they deserve. GREAT drama!

I picked up this drama based off pure curiosity on why this drama had billions of views. I’ve already rewatched it 3x after finishing the drama last week that’s how good it is. The synopsis of this drama should be changed to how wei Ying Luo surpasses the evils of the women inside the emperor’s harem and gains the favor of the emperor. Who doesn’t love a strong female lead that doesn’t need anyone to defend her! I always appreciate a drama where the audience grows with the relationship of our main couple. A lot of the reviews I’ve read didn’t like the fact that our FL didn’t end up with Fuheng but I completely love this story due to the emperor and wei yingluo. It’s the type of love that doesn’t need to be said and I think the actors did an amazing job conveying their feelings and emotions purely based on their acting. I really felt the love the emperor had for Ying Luo and vise versa. Though it doesn’t go to say that my heart completely broke for Fuheng :( I’d say he’s the true hero of this drama. Bless his soul and his sufferings ????????
