Story of Kunning Palace

Close all of your dramas and start this one :)

When I finished this drama I wanted to start all over again!
I didn't expect that it would be so intense.
The story start more on relax mode but more and more it tighten up and getting no moment to take an another breath.
Action, action, action of some form is running non stop.
Actress is very beautiful, ML also.
SO many intrigues, political mixture- with beautiful script. Even if you don't like politics ( like me) you probably would be fascinated how well it was made in the story.
Romantic and hot moments exists among all other beautiful story line.

Impeccable story from beginning to end

WHAT A WONDERFUL DORAMA! ♥️

If there's a dorama that will hold you in a way, it's "Story of Kunning Palace". I was completely enchanted from beginning to end! The story is simply perfect, full of twists and turns that leave us with our mouths open. Each scene is a slap of emotion and surprise.

What about the chemistry between the characters? My God, what a surreal thing! It's really creepy. And those kisses? I swear, it's to make the screen catch fire! It's that kind of romance that makes the heart beat harder and the eyes shine. What about that love triangle, or rather, love square? What about the jealousy scenes? Hahaha I loved it!

The characters are very well built, each with their story, their conflicts, and all are played by incredible actors and actresses. The protagonist is strong and determined, without a shred of songuice!

And the end? It's VERY happy! It's that kind of ending that we want in every dorama, but rarely see. I left with a warm heart, very satisfied, and wanting to watch everything again. Seriously, it's an ending that makes us sigh and thank you for watching it.

It's a masterpiece that you can't miss. This dorama is all we ask for and a little more - intelligent, exciting, with a breathtaking romance and an ending that leaves us in the clouds.

Unmissable! ♥️

Excellent drama. I don't know why i put it off so long.

This is my favorite work Zhang Ling He has starred in. I didn't care for the plots in "Princess royal" and "My journey to you". But story of Kunning palace is awesome. In fact, all the actors were awesome in this drama.
The plot is nothing we haven't seen before, but what makes it riveting is the character's and seeing their internal frustrations.
And omg, was i blessed with so many hot kissing scenes towards the end lol.
I only took off .5 rating because the xue family plot was getting annoying at the end. I think they could've made it like 2-4 episodes shorter between dragging on the main enemy and female lead's indecisiveness.

this drama is all worth your time . Its a rollercoaster of emotions.

the script, directing ,acting of this drama is amazing ,its a piece of art overall. the male lead acting was very good ,you could feel all the emotions from his acting specially in the last 10 episode .the story is full of twist .you will never feel bored . a minus in this drama is the FL even after reincarnation she is a little confused and very hesitant towards the ml. I understand why she was hesitant the first 20 episodes but after that she started to act a little too confusing (?), and frustating.BUT overall i have never watch a drama like this .I recommend this to everyone including the one that watches rom com.

Watch it for the love of Zhang Linghe if nothing else

Let me first write why everyone should watch the drama: Zhang Linghe looks absolutely gorgeous as angsty angry ML.
I'm not a fan of Bai lu but she acted so well. Their relationship will forever be iconic.

The story was fast paced unlike most of c-dramas (I'm used to watching k-dramas so no offense here to c-drama lovers as I'm used to series ending around 16 episodes).

The bad parts: badly edited and directed. It gets confusing at times. wasted enough time on Consort Shu character which was not necessary.

All in all this drama is a treat and one of the best to come out in recent years. A must watch.

Mixed Feelings

I'm at a loss to explain it but I want to express my opinion. the overall story of this drama is mixed, it can be either framed or trapped, and it has many twists and turns but a happy ending. because this drama based on a novel has a dark story. I don't think it's a wuxia(?) but a political conflict without any spirituality.
But I hope BL and ZLH can act together again in a wuxia/xianxia/xuanhuan drama, I love their chemistry.

and I'm here to express my frustration, I commented on this SOKP page they attacked me, then I better delete my comment. what's wrong with the fans of this SOKP drama attacking me so much? is it because this SOKP drama is overrated? this makes me afraid to comment again and the fans of this SOKP drama are so terrible.
It's different when I commented on Tiger and Crane page, no one attacked me.
even though my favorites are ZLH and BL but why are SOKP drama fans so horrible?
I hope SOKP drama fans don't become horrible.

This was a slow start drama that really takes a while to build up (with annoying flashbacks every two scenes and internal monologues galore), but overall, it had interesting characters and a decent storyline. I had doubts about both the ML and FL at first, but I ended up liking both of them in the end. If you're like me and like morally grey characters, you'll probably also like the ML, who is, honestly, pretty unhinged (pls get this man a therapist).

The romance part was more of an aside for me, as I wasn't really buying it between the ML and FL. The side characters were constantly mentioning how the ML and FL acted differently towards the other and how they must love the other, that the whole thing just felt forced, as if they were trying to convince the audience of this fact rather than letting their actions speak for themselves.

I probably wouldn't ever rewatch this but this was an enjoyable drama. If you like palace politics, you'll probably like this as well! Nice OST, good acting, and satisfying ending.
