I went to watch this show with absolutely no expectations as the reviews weren't that great but OH MY GOD!! I have no words, this drama was so good. First scene of FL and I was hooked. We see a strong ML all the time but seeing such physically strong FL felt like a breath of fresh air. It was very fascinating to see the leads fighting together, gave me adrenaline rush everytime they would beat an army of people singlehandedly.

Many didn't like this show because of too much palace politics but imo it was quite great. Feng Lanxi was always ahead of them, it showed the power of Fountain abode. Umm another great thing about the drama was that FL wasn't some helpless lady for whom ML would always need to worry about. Bai Fengxi was hands down my favourite character, so lively and carefree with best kind of martial skills.

Some of my favourite scenes of this drama were -the first interaction of Hei and Bai, then another where both of them are playing Cuju and Langhua said that they are flirting with each other. It was cute. Then the war scene where Lanxi said that they hurt my women and went on to attack Huang and Yu. Another one was when Feng Ju's army attacked Lanxi in court room and it literally took him just 2 seconds to defeat them. The face of both mother and son was laugh worthy.

There were some drawbacks too ofcourse. I think there were too many instances where the drama could have been more dramatic, like when Xiyun's identity was revealed or two of them being in love and stuff. And oh such shortage of romantic scene, like you are watching two of the most good looking people and there is hardly any romance, please this actually sounds like a betrayal. Also I was actually a little hoping to see how Huang Chao and Hua Chunran's life is after marriage.

Who Rules The World is really a unique drama. It shows well how not to underestimate someone. Both the ML and FL are strong and the compliment each other. Even though there are less romantic scenes they are neither greasy nor cheesy. Even the palace politics are clearly shown and are not overly complicated. In short it is worth watching. All in all, I personally loved this show. It kept me on edge of my seat specially in the first 20 episodes. Rare show where I didn't skip any scene. If you like a FL who is as strong as the ML, relationship with no misunderstandings, too much plotting and planning from all sides then this is the show for you.

I love this drama so much !! Like the story and script is top notch for me and the cast is amazing ✨ I can't imagine other actor of actresses playing role of Manman and Wei Xiao. I gave the story 9.0 because the story has some plot holes like Big ones. People making completely random decisions (I’m looking at you, Qiao Yue and Da Qiao). Some storylines vanish. Others stretch belief. But the rhythm works. The emotional arc had momentum. The humor landed often enough. And the supporting cast was pretty solid.

Also, that drunk scene was such a delight—SZE running around like a mischievous little kid, totally unguarded, and him completely losing his usual regal composure as he chased after her. It was such a fun contrast to their usual dynamic, and she played it with just the right balance of innocence and mischief. Honestly, moments like that really sealed it for me.

The only downside to this drama is the last two episodes because it was a bit too rushed. Too many things happened in the last 2 episodes, especially, just to conclude the series. Ending was way too much details pumped into those episodes just to finish up the series. Overall, I'd give it a solid 9.0 out of 10. It could have been a perfect 10, if the ending was done properly.

It started with a bang. It was fun to watch at the beginning. That love hate relationship was very cute at beginning but as you watch more, you realise that story has lost it's steam. This should have been 10 or 12 episodes Kdrama instead of 16. As a result story do stretch unnecessarily in the end. There are few filler episodes in the end. And also ending doesn't make much sense. It seems to me that they didn't know how to end this Kdrama.

This is why first few episodes were best part of this Kdrama after that you wish that it should end quickly because at times it feels that story isn't going anywhere in the middle. And it doesn't help the fact that story basically ended in 15th episode and they tried to explain too many things in the last episode and it didn't quite work out as a result you do feel that they ended this unfinished as you don't get any answer of how their relationship would last since one isn't human so virtually immortal and other one is mere mortal!!

So yeah, it's kind of disappointing in that sense despite the strong beginning! I think the writers must have figured we have two pretty leads - we don't really need a story so they read the trope book and filled in the blanks with illogical nonsense.

Legend of Anle started out as such a fun drama and I loved Dilraba and Gong Jun together. It was my first historical cdrama where I didn't find ep 1 or 2 boring. Gave it a solid 7.0 because this drama storyline could have been more !! AND I MEAN IT BECAUSE it had lots of great moments, and the plot overall was trying to maintain that "legend" quality to the storytelling. There were some seriously perfect characters in this drama. The main leads and even some of the lesser characters could do no wrong, and got away with stuff other people would literally have died for. Also people were just too self-sacrificing at some points. I know they're all supposed to be nobles, but still....

The plot got draggy at some points. The whole second quarter of the drama, where they focused on the Princess competition and the bogus Di Chengen, could have been reduced to a 3-4 episodes. Whenever they kept to the Anle storyline, it was much better. I feel like they should give more scenes to LengBei/MoBei and AnNing rather than Di ChengEn. Their storyline has a lot of potential but they make it so shallow and meh. AnNing's death outcome is also so messy that I don't even see the Emperor's reaction.

The only thing I really hated about this drama was the way they wrote the story for the character Lin Lang. I feel like they turned her into a plot device instead of a character, a thing instead of a person. She never got credit for all the things she did to make the leads' plans work. The fact that her feelings were never acknowledged by anyone, in particular the 2ML, was just wrong, but I especially dislike the way they just "disposed" of her as a way to ensure that the bad guy was quickly caught. Even at the end, when the 2ML reminisces, he quickly glosses over her loss to concentrate on Ren Anle . So sad.

Overall the first half of the drama is actually really good and even the middle episodes however the ending of all other characters is very disappointing..I also think that the drama really slowed the romance down at the end when they should have given us more sweet moments. You should watch the extra scenes (I think they’re on YouTube) because they give us some of what was missing. Overall a fun drama that just falls off in the second half

I was not too impressed with this series as a whole because my expectations were a lot more from it. Now let's get started with ep 16; The episode seemed rushed but also full of fillers at the same time? We never got to know what happened to Gao Tu and how he went through the pregnancy alone without an alpha.

Also how come did Shen Wenleng not suspect anything when Gao Tu's father brought up the abortion to him? I get that their relationship is built on misunderstandings but also how did even Gao Tu's father conclude that the child belongs to Shen Wenleng given that he's perceived as a character with negative IQ? I just find it unrealistic for him to be so distant and neglecting but to somehow figure out all of that based on the little vague info he had.

Now this is my personal opinion but I just couldn't bear the idea of an alpha bearing a child, especially when it comes to Sheng Shaoyou. Hua Yong looks like an actual Omega and I get that this is how he was acting at the beginning to manipulate Shaoyou but he still acted in a submissive way even after letting him know that he's an enigma, and honestly I just felt like his looks were way too delicate and soft for an enigma but that's just my view.

It feels kind of pointless mentioning this scene but it was really absurd I had to talk about it 😭 the scene where Shaoyou's half-brother (I forgot his name and low-key don't care about him) invites him and Hua Yong tags along, HOW COME NEITHER OF THEM SUSPECTED THAT HE'S ONTO SOMETHING? I get that Hua Yong was role-playing as an Omega to film the whole thing but he still drunk when that guy forced him to do so and got his glands severely injured it just feels stupid.

I just feel like the whole thing was underwhelming, I was also really excited about the series since it's the first ABO series that features bl so it felt disappointing to have all of these visuals and budget go to waste just because the script was way too mediocre. Also I need to mention that I didn't read the novel/manhua so I'm not sure if they changed many things in order to adapt it.

Lowkey love this series so much !!! This has to be my fav chinese Bl ✨

this show gets a 10/10 from me because of its splendid cast and acting... Like the storyline, plot, character delivery, emotions, background settings, lighting and all NC scenes are top notch. There is something about it that is just so addictive and good. I really enjoyed it, and Fan Xio's seemingly impossible redemption came covered in glory.

Now, let's agree that the sexual tension that existed between them since they met was difficult to overcome. Script, acting, production - all excellent. I love that they adapted a dark love story and it stayed a dark love story - very rare. I can’t imagine another Chinese drama topping this in the near future and it may well end up my favorite from any country in 2026.
