Good Xianxia Drama
It gave me TMOPB vibes. The ML was phenomenal. The chemistry between ML and FL was good. The cast in general did a great job. The storyline was interesting. The plot development was good and tbe CGI isn't too bad. I didnt skip any part of the drama. I would've liked to see FL take care of / show more concern for their son after ML died and she got her memories back ( seeing that the son supposedly looked exactly like the father at that age). Even when ML came back in the end the son was not around. Overall it was a good watch.Was this review helpful to you?
Rebel Princess
For a drama with 68 episodes, the pacing was very good. The costumes, cinematography, the acting are great. This drama has political power struggles, intense fight scenes, betrayal, romance, greed and an incestuous royal family.The cast is good. Even though it's not the popular baby faced regular eye candy, their performance was spectacular and each character has their own unique charm and attractiveness.
The ML and FL are both intelligent. ML is a powerful general and FL is initially a spoilt Princess that I find to be a bit naive throughout the drama. Both are determined to change their fate ( being pawns in the power struggle...which I guess makes her a rebel) and despite coming from different social backgrounds they grow to love and respect each other. They had good chemistry. The scenes with them together are limited, however when together the moments are usually sweet.
The major obvious villians have perished or were punished. However, I feel the end was a bit rushed and leaves some questions. We see that the FL' s brother is the new Prime Minister so he is obviously calling the shots, but who takes care of the infant emperor? What happened to those corrupt noble ministers? ( Did they just become saints and escape punishment) Will the emperor be required to still marry from the Wang family when he is of age?
The ML and FL get a happy ending, so overall its a good watch.

Mystery with a good mix of comedy and romance
I was pleasantly surprised by this drama. Its doesn't have the big names and big budget but it was a very good watch. The cast did a wonderfully job. Its not overly dramatic ( no jealous females, very out there plot twists and boring fillers) like some of the more popular dramas, just a solid plot. The ML and FL are both smart. They didn't have alot of chemistry but I was too busy following the plot for it to leave a negative impression. Even the villains are very smart so it really makes for an interesting story. I didnt have to skip any scenes or episodes. If you love crime and mystery genre this is definitely for you.Was this review helpful to you?
Sweet RomCom
This is a very light hearted drama. It gives you mystery, romance and a hint of comedy. The cast was good and the fight scenes were enjoyable.The ML and FL had good chemistry. The ML did a fairly good job as a righteous hero and a spoilt playboy. The plot is pretty straightforward, The ML and FL are on a quest to get revenge for there loved ones.
There are two other couples in this drama and as each relationship develops you see the characters grow. Friendships are strengthen as the group faces challenges together.
I loved that the FL is smart, skilled in martial arts and is the best student of her master ( who happens to run an all women institution where the women are sent to help young masters in nobel homes). However, I was able to figure out who the main villian was and the motive when he first appeared in his black hooded coat, so its a bit predictable.
The ending is happy as each couple are still together. However, if not for the sweet scenes with each couple as they resolve their issues, it would've been a bit boring.
This is a drama to watch to help cheer you up a bit after watching a drama with a sad ending. So if you are into more serious dramas that are jam packed with action, betrayal and power struggles this one might not be for you.
