The story started strong. I was glued on the screen for the first 5 episodes. But it fell flat and draggy in the middle( around 20th episode). It felt like a filler arc.

The plot/story could be tighter. The final arc/plot didnt meet my expectation.. it just okay-ish.. They should build more the villains.

As for the romance, its okay. I wanted a little bit more angst. I didnt take long for ML to be under FL's spell..

Currently on ep 23 and Im so close to dropping this😭 Im not stress on the plot but to them😭 Since i just finished WDBTD my standard for ml is so high that wei shoa can’t reach (sorry but sima jiao on top) Maybe if i watch this first before WDBTD i can probably tolerate his manchild behavior. And I know Qiao was clever and so but probably i just dont like how can she easily submitted to wei.

finally finished!!!

have only one thing to say- would’ve given this a higher rating if they didn’t kill wei liang off my guy deserved better 😭in my opinion it wasn’t a happy ending I kept on crying everytime they brought him up but other then that whilst the pacing of the show was weird which meant parts of the story kind of fle long I still really enjoyed watching this drama and loved the acting which was for me the key component to why I loved this drama. I will be checking out more of their dramas especially the male leads dramas

Different, funny, feel good but emotional too

It was different and fun cdrama. Sometimes a bit slow and a bit rushed in the end. What I appreciated most about the drama was that I for once could watch a cdrama laidback without high blodpressure and crying all the time. But there is emotional scenes and the tears came somtimes. There was also a lot of funny parts. I laughed so hard when he gave her 500 steeds. ML&FL:s love and loyalty for each other was wonderful. You really get feelings for many of the characters. I got shocked by 2 things: 1. Kissing of that kind in a historical cdrama 🤭 2. They cut the nose off Lady Evil 🥵. Overall a okay cdrama that entertained me 💞👌❤️

The Prisoner of Beauty is a beautifully filmed drama. Although it’s a love story, there are almost constant conflicts and power struggles, as well as good friendships and nice secondary romances, to keep things moving. I thought that the actors were great, especially Song Zuer, Liu Yuning, and Liu Duan Duan. I think that what saves this drama from being the typical enemies to lovers story is the FL, who seems to be more suspicious of the ML and more cunning and slower to trust than usual but also has a strong moral core. I assume that the title refers to the female lead, whose beauty is used by her family to ally themselves with a historic enemy but also, I think, to the antagonist who uses her beauty to manipulate and scheme and turns out to be her own worst enemy.

The humor didn’t always land with me and I thought that the ending left some loose ends but I enjoyed this drama.

I find myself fundamentally incompatible with this type of Chinese drama. Given the rave reviews and ratings, I wanted to give it a chance, but no, the frail woman whispering in the ear of her warrior husband, whom she was forced to marry for the good of the country, because it's well known that nobles care about the welfare of the Chinese nation... I can't watch this anymore.

The sets, costumes, music, everything is very beautiful. Normal, shall we say. Unfortunately, I couldn't care less.

Liu YuLing great actor. I live all his work. Love the femal lead as well.I like the way China uses their female actors as strong minded independent women. I cant believe they have 8+ review hope it gdts bdtter. I love the lively cast. They are funny and seriouss. Excellent scenery. I hope all goes well till the very end. I love the storyline, Ost, costumes ,and acting. The female lead is so intelligent and stands her ground in all situations. Looking for a great ending

Depois de algumas indicações, comecei meio sem saber o que esperar… mas já nos primeiros episódios, fui completamente fisgada. Sabe quando a história te abraça e você simplesmente não consegue mais parar? Foi exatamente assim.

Me apaixonei pela trama, pelos personagens, pela paisagem pela trilha sonora que toca fundo no coração. Tudo tão bem dosado — leve, divertido, emocionante… um equilíbrio perfeito. Cada cena parecia feita pra me fazer sentir algo diferente. E conseguiu.

É uma história sobre o amor — o romântico, o amor pela família, o amor entre amigos. Mas também fala de dor, de ódio, de lealdade, de perdão e de recomeços. E que protagonistas! Ela é uma mulher forte, decidida, delicada, inteligente… conduz tudo com uma sabedoria que emociona. E ele… ah, ele. Um homem forte, mas completamente perdido quando o assunto é sentimento. Não sabe o que é amor entre homem e mulher, e isso o torna tão ingênuo, tão intenso, tão encantador. Ele me fez rir e suspirar tantas vezes…

Mas nem tudo foi fácil. Uma morte que não achei justo. Personagem que amei do início ao fim, e sua ausência doeu mais do que eu esperava. Até agora, fico com o coração apertado só de lembrar.

No fim das contas, é isso: o básico funciona. Uma história simples, mas contada com tanta beleza, com uma produção tão cuidadosa, que se transforma em algo grandioso. Atraente, envolvente, inesquecível.

Apenas veja esse drama . É perfeito do início ao fim! ?

Não sei como começar a falar desse drama, sem dúvida um dos melhores que já vi em toda minha vida, e já vi mais de 300 dramas asiáticos, estou há quase 10 anos nesse universo dos dramas asiáticos e afirmo isso com toda certeza! Não teve um episódio sem graça, os protagonistas foram bem desenvolvidos assim como toda a trama e demais personagens. Terminei com vontade de ver tudo de novo. Foi tudo de tamanha perfeição: enredo, cenário, música, figurinhas e personagens. ♥️
Nota 10/10.

جميل ولكن الاحداث لم تفاجئني

مارح احرق الاحداث ..ولكن بتكلم بشكل عام
التمثيل كان منطقي يعني مافيه مشاهد مبالغ فيها او تفوق قدرة البشر .
وتسلسل الاحداث جميل مع اني تمنيت ان القصه تكون اعمق من كذا..
المسلسل بشكل عام متابعته ممتعة جدا والممثله الرئيسية بجد جميلة 😅 ويناسبها الدور ..
الممثل الرئيسي اعشق تمثيله من أيام مسلسل القصيدة الطويلة لذلك كنت اتابع القصة وامالي عاليه عليه انه رح يتقن الدور .
واكرر واقول تمنيت ان القصه تكون اعمق من كذا وان فيه محاور اكثر وتفاصيل اكثر خصيصا ان طاقم التمثيل كان رائع ولايق جدا .
