I don't have enough patience for this.

It's weird because I really enjoyed Wei Young which is from the same writer, but this one is a huge disappointment for me.

The leads' acting and chemistry were great but right from the start, I felt like the pacing was very slow and the plot was quite repetitive. After 33 episodes, none of that really changed. I found myself in an endless cycle of one-dimensional bad people being bad, the leads (allegedly) being poisoned in every other episode, *spoiler alert* rising from the dead and back to beating bad people's asses. I was so sick of all the fake deaths that I reached the point of wanting everyone to die for real. Except Jing Ling, maybe. We couldn't have done it without him. The amount of times he saved everyone was ridiculous ...

I rarely watch shows with 50+ episodes, but when I invest so much time, I want to be captivated by the story throughout the whole thing and that was just not the case here. I'd not completely advise you against watching this, just know that it's gonna be a long ride with a lot of tropes.

Really Addicted Something Bad

I spotted it on Viki and I actually liked the simple thumbnail for it and I told myself I will give it a try. Yeah, well after that I can safely say the rest is history.

Now, I am not going to comment on technical stuff, script issues etc... because I tend to look at the overall picture that being the running story and the characters.

That being said, now I can only say that I LOVE IT! Never saw that coming, but OMG I love that story and the two main leads. It is nice to see that Lige is a total badass and I also like that though she has been train as an assassin, she does have a moral compass. That is key in terms of her character development and relationship with the male lead Prince Peng Cheng. I do like him, he is lovely and any scene with the two of them has become my happy place putting a huge smile on my face.

I hate with a passion that Grand Consort, that main bad guy the Protector General and that little adoptive sister. I have to give it to the actors because hating them also makes me happy.

Frankly great show! Cannot wait to see the rest.

A Promising Drama Undone by Its Ending

I was really disappointed with the way this drama ended. After investing in 53 episodes, I expected a stronger and more satisfying resolution, but the finale left too many unanswered questions and felt rushed and confusing. The pacing throughout the show sometimes dragged, and by the end, the story didn’t deliver the closure viewers deserved.

There were also some character arcs that felt wasted or underdeveloped, and certain choices didn’t feel true to the personalities we had come to know. It left me feeling more frustrated than fulfilled.

The only reason I’m rating it a 7/10 is because I genuinely enjoyed the leads, Shen Li Ge and Liu Yi Long, especially in the earlier episodes. Their chemistry carried much of the show, but unfortunately, the ending undercut what could have been a powerful conclusion.

What can I say I am a sucker for historical series. This series actually started off at a really great pace. It was lively and had some good action going on. The beginning of the series was done in such a way that it will grab your attention because there’s some mystery and intrigue going on. I enjoyed the characters and their personalities. Fight scenes were pretty amazing and it didn’t hurt that our female lead had those skills. Series is a real eye grabber. The plot develops quickly but soothly. Overall, it’s entertaining.

Series revolves around a female who is fighting for good and a male lead who was misunderstood, though not too long.

What I like: it’s consistently eventful, the plot develops well, their is some great character development reveals, the relationship between the leads was nice and the fight scenes are great.

What I didn’t like: after a while it got tiring, the leads had a good relationship but lacked chemistry. Bad guys seems to have the upper hand most of the time. The relationship between the leads felt more like close friends than lovers or a married couple. In truth it just felt like it was missing sincerity. Although the acting was good, it just felt like a well rehearsed script verse the person embodying the script.

I don’t know why a lot of people rate this 5.5 but this drama is good!

At first when I saw this drama, I saw a lot of bad reviews. Some people said this drama was boring and stupid. To see if it was actually that bad, I started watching this drama. It was not bad at all.

Shen Li Ge is an assassin and tries to kill Lu Yuan with her martial arts brothers and sisters. They were unsuccessful and were killed. Only three of them survived, including Shen Li Ge. They escaped and formed a medicine shop to hide their identities.

She went back to her orphanage and meets her mother.

When Shen Li Ge’s sister died, she gave Li Ge a bracelet. That bracelet was the evidence that, that person was her mother. Shen Li Ge pretended as her sister, and took the identity.

Shen Li Ge sought revenge and that is when she meets Liu Yi Kang.

They both are on the same boat investigating Lu Yuan.

Shen Li Ge tries to kill Lu Yuan, but fails again.

Shen Li Ge goes back home and that’s where more problems appeared.

Shen Le Qing gets jealous because her foster (Just call them foster for now) parents (Shen Li Ge’s parents) liked Shen Li Ge better and the guy she fancied like Shen Li Ge. She hates Shen Li Ge and starts to scheme.

Another problem is Lu Yuan. He caused Li Ge’s family and herself to go to prison a lot of times. A lot of people say girls like scheme a lot, but this guy schemes a lot too.

There’s more but I’m too lazy to write everything.

This story had a lot of twists and turns, but there were never any misunderstandings. Even if Li Ge tried to kill Liu Yi Kang, she regretted it and tried to save him, while Yi Kang forgive her. Shen Li Ge never gets jealous, which I love a lot in a person.

If you want to cry then you can watch this drama because a lot of sad things occur, like how her mother forgets that Shen Li Ge is her daughter.

I saw a lot of reviews that the ending was horrible. Well it wasn’t. I mean like at least there was a happy ending! I don’t want the story to have the goodbye my princess ending.

I usually don’t like dramas that occur in dark places, but this drama literally caused me to devote into it.

You might not understand some of the scenes, so you shouldn’t skip the scenes like what the other people did. They skipped so they didn’t like the drama. So don’t be like them!


Also the ones with bad reviews to this drama probably don’t understand Chinese, so they don’t get the story. They said that the scriptwriter was bad. It’s not like they can write any better.

Hope you like this review and the drama!

Frustrating, but fun ride!

I don't really have that much to write after binge watching it over 3 days. I watched this for Li Qin as Lige and she delivered!

The villains were villainy. To the point of being ridicilous, but hey, that's what you can expect from most chinese dramas with lots chess back and forth. I'm not saying that I don't enjoy it, but I dislike it when villains get away from things, despite the amount of evidence. There were some inconsistencies here and there, but I've seen far worse so I let it slip.

The Shen family was great, the royal brothers were great too. In fact, most of the characters had a purpose and were acted well. The fighting scenes were usually fun, albeit a bit unbalanced here and there. The one thing which always dissapoints me in these dramas, is when they try to depict a large scale war. Yes, I understand that it is costly to produce something which shows a grand scale. But showing maybe 100 people marching, then saying that it is a detachment of 10.000 ... ? It breaks immersion and believability. This series is not the only sinner to do this, so I'll give it some slack.

Episode 1-25 - Great.
25-45 - Decent
46 - 52 - Poor. (I ended up fast forwarding here and there)
53 - Great. It wasn't exactly what I expected, but I was pleasantly surprised.

All in all: It had its fun moments, frustrating ones and the ridicilous ones. What you can expect and probably what you're also looking for.

Recommended.

Not finishig storyline perfectly and don' t like too much flying scence

I don't know what happend to Lu Wan ( girl), do they execute her? I think she did not use poison. she was in the trap and also the sixthe prince did not help her. The Emperor got injured with the knife with lover and there is a forgivness for the poor girl does not have nobody help her. Sorry no justice and fair. I think Six brother is not true love, he is dumb, and I think the doctor ( the senior) is true love for her, he came and save her took her in trees. I wish they continued the story for her. The edning is always is puzzle, and I don't like. The Actors and Actresses played awesom job, but the director should bring Kevin Yan and Wallace Hue and there is another Wallace from Hong Knong these 3 Actors play awesom jobs as a role of Emperor. I think their face and their voice is good for historical, coustme and drama movie. I wished they brought Wallace Hue as a Emperor of Wei, we could have more drama part with that swordwoman. The Lu Wan's brother played awesom job in this film. Everybody played awesome job. Is there possiblity they make song of glory number 2? I don't know why at the end Fourth brother hand something on branches of tree. It means that she is alive or Fourth brother killed himself because he knows that sixth brother follow his rule and law. That is why I don' t like the end it likes puzzle.

A Pretty Good Historical drama that doesn't really drag much... BUT....

I went into this drama researching a bit because its an average 50+ episode story. When there's that many episode, of course you would hesitate watching it if it doesn't turn out good, you wasting your time watching part of it and may drop it down the line. Let me tell you this, royal politics is not new and the repeated similar plot that has always been use to drag the story line out as much as the show intended to become. This show still holds its very much interest til the very end once the main OTP knows and devoted themselve to each other. One thing I never liked in a drama is the miss opportunity that the leads find out about and misunderstood each other, almost reveal their identity but got interrupted, or got somehow coincidently miss the right moment to see and know each other. This drama gave me the angst to all those moments and there were a LOT of those moments til they find out about each other. Although it took some episodes, it eventually reach there and after that, the show smoothly ride out til the end non stop. I for one watch it over 2 nights and completed on the 3rd morning due to work, otherwise I would probably finished it on the second day. Don't get me wrong, but I did skip some parts that doesn't show much progress with no lead in them but you can still comfortable watch it without skipping. Ending has been miss interpreted but non the less, I truly believe it's a happy ending. I recommend watching this for the character fun chemistry. It is rewatchable for me, I may probably rewatch it again down the line. Plot line has been used, don't expect much beside thinking who is the culprit to all of this. Every evildoers get what they deserved.

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.
