So Hee played this role like her life was on the LINE.
So Hee really came through with her acting. This has to be her best performance yet. This show just further proves how dynamic of an actor So Hee can really be. UGH! NO ONE'S DOING IT LIKE SO HEE!The story can drag on a bit, but it's not that noticeable as there's only eight episodes. There are some obvious plot twists but it is still enjoyable. Romance plot was a bit iffy because it was kinda unnecessary (but I understand why they would include it). Overall, love this show. So Hee's acting really made the show.

The Best BL Show Ever to Exist.
This show has amazing acting, amazing cinematography (which you don't see often in BL series), an amazing OST...amazing everything. This show is horribly under-rated and I hope it gets more praise in the future when season two comes out. The plot is so...realistic. There are times where you are mad at Teh for how childish he's acting, but that's exactly what he is, a child. He has a narrow view of the world and there are multiple times where his rigid personality affects not only himself but the ones he loves. He's such a flawed character, but he's written so well that the audience understands his rash and rather dumb decisions. It's really satisfying seeing his character development throughout the show, and it's also satisfying that not everything goes his way. It's just like real life, and I love it so much. Oh is a very mature person for his age, and I like the contrasting personalities between him and Teh. It is nice to see a character like this: Oh knows exactly what he wants and he isn't afraid to say what he wants. Juxtapose this with Teh, who is very indecisive and impulsive. Ugh. UGH IT'S SO GOOD. Usually when watching BL dramas, you're supposed to have this expectation that the plot and personalities are not realistic. But this show...I know I keep saying realistic, but it's just that. It's realistic, satisfying, beautiful...everything. I love this show so. damn. much. Props to the director, because he guided the actors so well. This is a phenomenal piece of work. I 100% recommend this show. It's so underrated and deserves all the praise in the world.Was this review helpful to you?

Came watching this thinking it's gonna be a romance...T.T still fun to watch though
The first 15 to 20 episodes were pretty fun and interesting; however, as cheng shaoshang enters the palace, i just started to lose interest. I liked seeing the mother's character growth--she is probably one of the most three-dimensional characters in this show--but I wished her change in character towards niao niao was a bit more obvious before the five year time jump.Also, WHY DIDN'T THEY EVEN SHOW THE WEDDING T.T 56 episodes and all for nothing TTT.TTT It's alright though...The show was still enjoyable, and I think the lack of kiss/intimate scenes made me cherish the main couple's relationship even more. :)
