If you love ruyi so much (many international fans shy away from palace drama due to its gigantic episode lengths),…
I recently binged Yanxi Palace. It was one of those times I was glad I was sick and stuck in bed because I couldn't put it down. Great drama!
Like you said, I put it off because of the large # of episodes. I was missing out. Don't pass it up. I plan to watch this drama and the others mentioned such as legend of concubine zhen huan. I already started Oh My Emperor. I already enjoyed the FL in her other dramas.
I enjoyed it at first. I think I dropped it at least three times to watch something else. The last time I stopped watching was a few months ago and I stopped watching at ep 37. SMH. I don't know why other than it couldn't keep my interest. I finished several dramas in the mean time. I'm thinking- should I bother with the last 4 eps? I'm so close to finishing, but not excited to finish.
