EmpressRuyi

I'm at the 17th ep and wondering if I should continue watching after reading the comments? So far Ling Yi is perfect for this role although her pairing with Geng Xin lacks chemistry. Beginning looks exciting so far but I can detect the familiar scheming, trickery, etc coming on. The childish princess is a pain in the neck! 67 eps is too long and the story always gets diluted & boring. Should I quit or jump to ep 66 & 67?

One of the better historical drama of 2022! Great Story, acting, sets and subtitles.

Holy moly! What were these men made of!!!! They get painfully slashed, stabbed, punched, whacked & poisoned and still live! Main and support cast were great, only reason I lasted through. Slow movjng but good story. Outstanding music. Too much sword wielding not enough romance.

So adorable when he's sleeping.....awwww 😍

Spectacular production! A 10+ in my opinion for cinematography, sets, location, music, makeup & costumes. Great script with an outstanding main & support cast. ML Lee Byung Hun, trim, handsome with a heartbreaking smile! (Watch him in 'Masquerade' as a fake emperor, hilarious!) FL Kim Tae Ri has eyes that speak a thousand words in her superb portrayal. The one that had me glued was hearthrob Yoo Yeon Seok who I just watched in 'Reply 1994'. He morphed from a mild mannered, adorable boy next door to an unbelievable sexy sword wielding Samurai! Oh my heart! THIS IS TRULY A MUST WATCH DRAMA!

So glad I decided to check out some reviews in the middle of the 4th episode as it was beginning to feel like another dud drama of silliness! Cartoonish background music is driving me crazy! Jumping to the last episode, just to say that I watched it!
