Wonderful Drama
Flower Crew: Joseon Marriage Agency should rank a way higher than 7.8, the only reason coming to my mind is that it is older than 2020. It is not pretentions or super ambitious, has great acting and lovely story with happy ending. I enjoyed it more than the most recent Korean historical dramas. It made me smile, angry , i laughed several times. Just chill out and enjoy it.Was this review helpful to you?

Good but not great
This is rich production with great costumes, so you definitely enjoy it. The story however is too predictable and somehow illogical. I find it strange that they're siblings until episode 32 and then lovebird for the last 8 episodes. Would have been much better if Luo Yi Ning could have remedy her broken love relationship with the Lu Jia Xue instead going for the more predictable path. All actors did amazing job, but for me the discovery was Lu Jia Xue. What an amazing actor with such diverse range of skills.Was this review helpful to you?
Mixed feelings
I don't know how to feel about this Tv Serie. It started really good, story looked interesting but once the main leads decided to work in team and fall in love everything became extremely boring. I would have enjoyed it if f this was the first epoch drama, but with so many masterpiece productions "princess Royal" falls short.Was this review helpful to you?
Great Chinese Epoch drama
Story of Kunning Palace is probably one of the best Chinese dramas I've ever seen. I keeps the ancient vibe of the time, fighting scenes were done in a great way without overdoing it. Characters were introduced and developed in such a great way that the story hooks you from episode one until the very end.Was this review helpful to you?
What was this?
As big fan of Gong Jun, after watching him in "Word of Honor" & "Legend of Anle" I was expecting same quality of story and acting here. Unfortunately he was acting dead, blank face delivery as if he was bored by this drama as well. To be honest I can't blame him because he was not the only one. The way pacing and the scenes are cut and fused together doesn't make much sense, everything looks random and overexaggerated . What usually happens is that two ppl jump into each other , chat a little bit then start fighting and one of the eventually flees . I forced myself for the first 10 episodes but I don't get how p[pl can watch this.Was this review helpful to you?
Boring as hell
Detective dramas are not my passion, but when I compare them the top one which comes to mind is "A league of nobleman".The plot has to keep you invested with each discovery from start until the very end. We had few releases in 2025 like "The Wanted Detective" which started great but became pure boredom midway and "Coroner's Diary" which was ultimate trash.
I see a negative trend that the new Chinese Dramas look very good, actors are doing their best, but the story telling is simply not there. Unveil: Jadewind is no exception to this trend.
Many fans would give this auto 10 just because it is Bai Lu or Wang Xing Yue, but the truth is that without these actors you would finish and forget immediately that this drama existed.
Bai Lu is trying something different, however she is a total miss cast for this role. I see short & fragile woman trying to be the strong big boss. Wang Xing Yue also played this role of supporting lethal character, he looked bored at times so it wasn't just me. There is no surprise, no mystery , nothing to keep me invested watching this aside from pretty actor's faces.

One of the best Korean gems
I had my doubts but the story was too good. I've watched both 8 Ep seasons in a week. Every character was developed so well and the actors did incredible job. I loved especially Yeom Hye Ran performance, so good.There was not a single moment where I felt that certain scene is a filler. Just watch it guys, you won't regret it!

Underrated Drama
I was wondering if to watch this drama because of the relative low rating of 7.7. I am so happy I've started it and watched it until the very end. Every Character was so well developed even the side plot characters had their own motives and story arcs. The acting was for most part also top, but what I really enjoyed was the music .The main theme song in Latin was so captivation so I want to share with you the English translation .
La freccia odiosa trafiggeva il cuore
Da quella notte sentirci non cruenta
Gelide voci trascinava a sé
Diceva il odio cancellerà il tuo
The hateful arrow pierced the heart,
No pain was felt in that bloody night,
With cold voice he took her away,
Saying he will abolish her hate.

Will Be Back
Moon Lovers is one of the best dramas I've watched. It will remain in my heart forever, even though I wasn't sure if I would like it in the beginning. It started a bit naive, like a chill comedy but then it hit deep. Story will not leave you until last moments, acting is amazing and this beautiful by Im Sun Hae https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ly6bG9Xcp0cWas this review helpful to you?
Beautiful Korean Drama
This would be another gem in the Korean drama list. The sad ending hits hard, but it makes sense. There is no true victory without sacrifice . The actors did amazing job with these characters, I could not help but shed some tears with them ,the story gets you from episode one and keeps you invested until the end. I wish they make more dramas like this, it leaves you emotionally drained but wanting more.Was this review helpful to you?
Masterwork
Tale of Lady Ok is just another gem in the historical Korean dramas list. Great story with comedic & tragic moments which go straight into your heart. The actors did amazing job , even support characters were portraited in amazing light. There was literary no filler moments, every second of this was amazing.Similar Dramas I could recommend are "My dearest", "Dear Hongrang"

Probably best short Drama
I usually refrain watching short dramas, but this one surprised me in such positive way. Many people did not liked it because of the bad ending, but in life not everything ends with "lived happily ever after".Both leads did amazing job in their love-hate relationship, story developed with the right tempo and the end was unexpected for me, sad but it felt right and somehow beautiful.

WTF is this
I know there are costume/historical dramas, there are detective dramas, comedy dramas but this made its own genre "stupid dramas".Reminds me somehow of "A Dream within a Dream", but Fan Yi Zhu made product with nice fighting scenes and was funny to watch. "How Dare You" comedy level could be appreciated mostly by teens or by ppl who wants to just turn off their brains and watch something relaxing, shiny and trashy.
Such a waste of good actors, designs & costumes..... just waste in general.

Wasted potential
The first 6 episodes of this drama feel like a dream, like a bad dream from which you want to wake up.I love the world building, the costumes and watching again some of the best chines actors in play.
The trailer of the drama hyped us to expect something incredible, because we have same director who made "The Double".
I can't comment on how good the story is written and developed here because i would need more episodes (and I don't plan to torture myself with more) but from first episodes as viewer I have the feeling that there are things i should have known before watching it to make sense. I haven't read the novel or watched any old TV drama, who lays the foundation of "Rebirth" so I felt lost.
* Acting was horrible and I can't say if it is not the voice dubbing , how the scenes are shot or if some of the actors are indeed talentless. Zhang Kang Le is simply posing Infront of the camera, trying to deliver some emotions aside from his sex appeal. Many of the actors are talking straight to camera doing evil or mischievous faces or blank expression like the FL. The interaction between the characters feel too staged or forced as if they didn't have time to prepare with their lines.
*There were too many illogical things, which directly attack your IQ as viewer.
- First battle in the middle of the lake, our Zhuge Yue was fighting on pile of dead bodies of his soldiers with his few remaining men who were taking hits instead of him. I would understand if they were defending a narrowed passage, but in open field who gathered and stacked these bodies up and most important why? Because the director wanted to have cool scene where general is shot by arrow and falls down the pile of corpses ?
Then Yan Xun army shoot fire arrows, creating a perfect fire circle around the pile of dead bodies even though they never surrounded them and to end this amazing scene they shoot anchor type devices to destroy the ice sheet and sunk them on the bottom of the lake. Just turn off your brain, everything is fine.
-I know that the name of the series is "Rebirth" but which lows of nature need to take place for one of the main characters to die? Stabbed, beaten, sight loss, drowned several times under the ice lake..... everything leads to instant recovery because the next scene demands it. How can you feel as observer that any of these characters would be in a danger. There is no suspense or excitement watching this drama.
The production value looks high, I can't believe we see same director who created "The Double" bombing so hard here.

Desperate housewives of ancient China
This drama is for ppl who love tea & harem intrigues. The plot felt really flat and predictable, i can endure it only until ep 22. Actors did amazing job when we take the weak script and pacing into play. If I can summarize this entire TV series with one word it would be "boredom" , i won't remember even one significant scene in few weeks.Was this review helpful to you?
