Beautifully Shot, Worth the Watch
The East Palace — 9/10
The East Palace was honestly a really good watch. I wouldnt say the story was the strongest part for me, but the cinematography was beautiful and probably what i enjoyed the most. The whole drama had such a good visual style, especially the palace scenes, costumes and overall atmosphere. Every scene looked so well made and there were many moments where i was more focused on how beautiful the scene looked than what was actually happening.
The story was good enough to keep me watching, but there were some slow parts and i didnt feel that attached to every plot point. Still, the characters and their relationships made it interesting enough to continue. The chemistry between the leads was also pretty good and some of their scenes were definitely memorable.
I also liked the darker and emotional atmosphere of the drama. It had a nice balance of romance, drama and palace politics without feeling too overwhelming. Some parts could have been better written, but overall it was still enjoyable.
For me, the cinematography really carried the drama. The visuals, costumes, sets and overall aesthetic were just beautiful and gave the drama its own feel. Even when the story got a little slow, the visuals kept me interested.
Overall, The East Palace is not a drama i would say has the best story ever, but its definitely worth watching. I enjoyed the experience, especially because of how good it looked. It has its flaws, but i still had a good time watching it.
9/10 — mainly for the cinematography and overall vibe.
