I think it's one of the best dramas of 2022. I really like. I really liked the story, especially the way it was handled. I really liked the actors. Especially Wu Jin Yan. He's a very, very good player. Experienced too. It plays fluently. Of course it's not just him. All the players are very, very good, I have not seen a faltering player. The cast is well chosen. I can say they are perfect. Based on such a food event, many other subjects such as palace life, those who rise from the bottom to the top, those who cannot attract each other, jealousy, intrigues, games, fight for the throne, secret issues are also covered. It's mixed. It's set up very nicely. In the meantime, we got to know the historical Chinese dishes. We have also seen the diversity, meticulousness and selectivity of the palace cuisine. In my opinion, a lot of food was shown and it seems that the courtiers ate too much. I didn't find it normal. I think there is not that much. In other words, such diversity and abundance could only be possible in the golden years. In an environment where the people are starving, these foods cannot be eaten. I believe the palace is paying attention to this as well. Congratulations to our director and actors. Production too. Thank you for showing us such a beautiful series.

short revenge
First of all, the issue was quickly dismissed as a short series. The editing was rushed. In the very first scene, hostility is created when no one knows anyone else. They organize instant assassinations. Before I even understood the issue, the revenge started. The revenge of revenge has begun. Everyone is an enemy to each other, no one knows. The fact that it happened suddenly and that it was edited urgently distracted the topic. While watching it, I thought a lot about whether I should say something about the fact that it happened so quickly or how it was brought to a fait accompli. That's why I watched the first four episodes of the series and stopped. In my opinion, I think it would have been better if it had been a long-running series and had started with a more detailed, more striking and slower-paced story and fiction as a revenge series. It didn't happen like that.Was this review helpful to you?

I watched 8 episodes of the series. I continue to watch. Liked it very much. Especially the emotionality in the 7th and 8th episodes impressed me a lot. The child's parents sacrificing their lives for the solution of a problem. This action, which was initiated by the man due to the fault of his wife, especially impressed me. On top of that, the loss of the child's parents, his emotionality and crying really made me cry. I couldn't hold back my tears. It was also nice that they met and smiled after they died. It was impressive. I recommend everyone to watch it. Was this review helpful to you?
Push and pull
I can't say the series is bad. Because I watched it. There were many parts I didn't like, but since I watched it until the end, I gave points for the effort.I liked the cast. I liked the shooting. I liked the image. I liked the costumes.
As for what I didn't like; First of all, I didn't like that the story wasn't deep. Maybe the script and the director were lame. I don't know about that, but there was no strong story and no plot based on it. As far as I understand, it's the story of a daughter whose parents died taking shelter with a relative and from there being given to a nobleman in return for money, so to speak, our daughter's objection to this, and since there was no result, she goes to her family homeland, or rather escapes there and obtains the family property. It's a bit complicated, but they try to tell it, but it's very superficial. On top of that, there's the mystery of the country's border struggles with another country and the involvement of the person to whom our daughter was sold in marriage in this struggle. But none of these are told in depth. There are superficial glosses. For example; Our daughter escapes very easily from where she was married off. No subject is mentioned about the family that married her off there for money. It is glossed over. She has nothing to do with it, only her aunt being in that family, her standing out in the family she joined with a huff, her being granted rights not granted to any other family member, her being given a special place. I had previously written this as a separate criticism, but in response to the claim that our daughter performed the best dance in an area where the king was also present, the dance had no characteristics, beauty or aesthetics, the director could not see this, and the actor did not attach importance to this, in other words, he did not work. While the dancer on the other side worked harder and performed a harmonious dance, the lead actor could not give a good image even with shows where he was suspended from a rope and dragged on the ground because his dance had no aesthetics. The director is at fault here. Since you say the dance is very good, you should have prepared the actor for this role. I have nothing against the actor. Because the actor played his game well. But the dance was not for me. Afterwards, the prince's man, who is shown as an enemy country agent, and a minister are caught very easily. It remains superficial. The person who is wanted to marry our daughter, who was thought to be dead but received many stab wounds in the show, escapes from there, and then he escapes, and becomes the minister, even the commander-in-chief of the enemy country by giving gunpowder to it. I found it very exaggerated. Are you making everyone who delivers you a material a minister, a commander-in-chief? Irrelevant. This personality also fights against his own country, gets the title of general. He is an obsessive personality and as a result, he explodes the gunpowder. It harms the leading male and female actors. The male lead is left alone because he died as a result of this gunpowder explosion. I don't know when he is found, and he steps into marriage with our daughter unharmed. It is again very superficial. However, it is not known what happened to the other obsessive lover, the enemy general, in the same explosion. It is not told. It is not shown. At the same time, no clue is given as to how this person is obsessed with this girl. The subject is glossed over. In other words, our series is very superficial, glossed over, and was edited and shot without much attention to the issues or details. That's why it's a snack-sized series that you can watch with great gusto. Because I liked the actors, and there wasn't anyone who showed a very sharp performance from the group of actors. Everyone gave a flat performance. The ones that caught my eye were Charles Lin in the role of the Prince, Jerome Deng in the role of Fan Chen, who was very successful in the obsessive role. I say well done. The man's obsession passed on to me. Li Jia Xin in the role of Chen Xiu. I also appreciated this actor for his hard work. Even though he had a small role and scene. Even though he was in the second or even third role, he worked on his scenes, came prepared, and I liked his dancing. I say well done for working. This girl made her role stand out, which was small. Bravo.
There were a couple of love and affection events in our series. The director gave them as push and pull. The last episode was specifically dedicated to these, so I didn't watch a love story from beginning to end, it was just an image of two lovers who had this kind of push-pull attitude towards each other from beginning to end.

A STUPID ENDING
I think it will be the second season, so they sent the wufang girls out and heralded a new adventure. The Swordsman is also waiting for the woman he loves. It didn't happen.In general, the series was very well constructed, well blended, the story was tried to be reflected properly, and it was one of the series with a different narrative that I have watched recently. I think it depends on the director. I got some American influences. Different things were tried, especially places, clothes, styles, lifestyles, secrecy, intelligence, swordplay, advanced techniques and mystery were included and a blend was made. It looked nice to me. Congratulations to the director. However, there were also mistakes that I don't know whether to call small or big. Especially when Wufeng was introduced, his ruthlessness, his ability to train invincible swordsmen or fighters, and his ruthlessness were mentioned. The way they use people is given in a very strange way, such as cruelty, using poison, being given an antidote if you complete your mission. Likewise, the Gong family, known for its closedness, secrecy, infiltration, security measures, swordsmanship, and Yellow and Gold Guards, was introduced as an uncompromising group. However, we saw that it was very easily infiltrated. Games were played knowingly and unknowingly. Likewise, with a little trick, Wufeng was tricked and the sword masters and fighters they praised so much were killed. Likewise, a great swordsman was created from an irresponsible child. The person suddenly became perfect. His mind became clear. He mastered all sword games and martial arts and became invincible. He became resistant to poisons. Finally, our daughter, the Wufeng spy who stole the endless heat, left home saying she was pregnant. Escaped. This person did not love the person he married. But we saw that he suddenly grew white flowers and watered them. ShangJue, who kept his distance from that woman, also started to like her. Now we will see in the future that this woman will do new things and cause trouble for the GONG family. Unexpected behavior from the highly praised Shangjue. Unexpected belief, deceived. I don't know if he will have children. But I think they will start the new season by playing tricks on WeiShan or taking him hostage. These were mistakes that should not have happened. I liked the actors very much. I didn't find any faults with the game. I even congratulate the players. The only thing I find faulty is that Yu Shu Xin plays with the same face for 24 episodes. If there is a sequel, he will play. Dead eyes. Eyebrows curved to give a sad facial expression. This face has never changed in good times, bad times, excitement, anger, fight, love or practice. The director said that this face of yours should be like this, spiritually. It remained that way. Is this how normal is? I don't know if he's not smiling or if he doesn't have any other behavior. I also watched a little of another series. It didn't seem that bad to me, but I couldn't figure it out here. I wondered if she was chosen for this role because of her cleavage, that is, her physique. However, Lu Yu Xiao, the actor in the same situation, on the contrary, gave all the facial expressions. She laughed, got angry, rejoiced, pretended to be in love. I love games played. His face changed, why didn't this one change, director? I didn't like these. I liked Zhang Ling He very much. It seemed to me that he grew up with his role. Well done. Ryang Cheng, Jolin Jin, the ridiculous personality who makes us laugh with different variations, Tian Jia Jin the Poisoner, Omid, Ai Mi. They were the players I liked. I liked them all, but these a little more. Let me say this for Ai Mi. It makes you think this girl can't be at this age. I've watched a few more TV series. Near perfect acting. A simple and pure and very beautiful face. Beautiful smile, beautiful look, very good facial expressions. He did his stubbornness especially well. I saw a very bright future. Hopefully the future will be clear. I think she will be a sought-after actress. He has already become one of my favorite actors. I congratulate him. Enjoy watching...

A simple, no-nonsense series.
I didn't really like the series. It felt MEDIUM to me. It felt simplistic. There's no real immersion in the events. There's no over-dramatization. For example, the torture inflicted on the mother, father, and siblings after they're imprisoned isn't agitated to make it harder for them to get out; it's simply glossed over. It's both good and bad. If you ask why? I'd say the events are always approached this way. That's why there's neither suspense nor suspense. It's like what happens in everyday life.The head matchmaker's daughter enters the matchmaking business, and she's helped by a young, handsome, and wealthy man, who in turn was helped by this girl when she was a child. It starts with such a premise. Not bad at all. But what can be learned from it? Could there have been anything more? One might ask, should it have remained so simple? I was expecting a more dramatic, more intriguing, more stimulating, more penetrating, and if necessary, more hurtful drama. But it wasn't. A series like this could have been made by simply looking at it from a simple perspective and thinking it was just a snack.
I liked the actors. I found Snow Kong very successful. This was the first time I've watched him for such a long time; his previous roles were lesser. He didn't give me a sense of himself. I saw that here. Well done. Ren Hao, on the other hand, seems to have fallen off the charts. A very dull role. I expected more. It was so appropriate. The woman was given the spotlight. It wasn't a role that suited Ren Hao, in my opinion. But the actor plays his part.
The supporting roles suit their roles. They don't have anything special. I was surprised by Chen Zi Han. This role was too small for him. It wasn't. I don't understand how he accepted such a lowly role. I didn't like it. I didn't like the role either. If he watches it, he might ask, "What was I doing in this role?"
Yang Ming Na and Yao Zhoua Jun, who plays her husband, make a great pairing. I think Chen Zi Han suits Yang Ming Na's role. I also think Yang Ming Na suits Chen Zi Han's role. I think it would have been better if the cast had been divided like this. I think it's worth watching to pass the time.

Searching for a plot
Despite trying really hard, I was able to watch three episodes. It's not a series that appeals to me. Secondly, I couldn't find a plot. Despite the excellent cast, good direction, and good visuals, the series didn't appeal to me. I think I couldn't adapt to it because I'm a middle-aged man. It seems like a series that might appeal to young people, especially young girls. I compared it to "Love Game in Eastern Fantasy," starring Esther Yu. I abandoned that series halfway through. I couldn't watch it. It felt like a children's series. I couldn't make sense of it. This one is the same. They're not exactly the same, don't get me wrong, I just compared them. I have no complaints about the actors. The direction and scenes are fine. It's a very colorful, harmonious series with dancing, flashy performances, and dazzling outfits. But the plot isn't there for me. I couldn't understand it, or at least it wasn't. It didn't appeal to me. I couldn't get into the plot. Anything could happen. I couldn't watch it. I forced myself. I watched three episodes, but it didn't work. It just didn't appeal to me. I didn't know what I was watching. I couldn't find it. I don't want to stop people from watching. Enjoy watching.Was this review helpful to you?
The worst series I've ever watched
I haven't watched such an ugly TV series lately. Maybe I've never watched it. I watched 15 episodes. All 15 of them are bad, worse than each other, meaningless, meaningless, impersonal, unfair, unfounded, insensitive, erroneous, wrong and inconsistent. So whatever you are looking for is in this series. There seems to be a story. From what I understand, the Prime Minister is saying that the prince whose daughter he was going to marry is dead, or he wants to have it killed himself. I didn't understand that. Then they say he died. Instead of his real daughter, he marries his daughter from his concubine to the dead prince. He wants his daughter to be buried with him, etc. The girl is running away. Then he meets the prince who is said to be dead. He is dressing his wound. It kind of saves. Then they realize that they are husband and wife, but the prince knows that the prime minister is against him, so he does not want the prime minister's daughter either. They also threaten the girl with her nanny. They say, "We'll kill your nanny and steal the prince's jade." Such events are developing. But it doesn't improve at all. First, the Prince says "I did not die in front of the king" and rips off the Prime Minister's hairpin, revealing his hair. This is kind of like a death sentence. He apologizes to the king, but the king doesn't even say what's going on, brother. The prince who did this walks away. Shouldn't the reason for this be asked? The prince supposedly has a crush on this prime minister and is looking for weaknesses in him. Drive the deficit. This time he wasn't letting the girl into his mansion. He felt sorry for his situation. He took it in. Even though the servants knew that she was a princess, they beat the princess at the instigation of the head maid. As if that wasn't enough. They locked it or something. They threatened. They committed all kinds of disgrace. The mansion has a butler. He has a lot of employees. Nobody knows or hears about it. The girl doesn't say either. It's as if he's accepting that his nanny will die. However, there are various aspects to this job. As a matter of fact, during the second fight, a servant gives the news, and she gives it so hard that you get swollen while watching it. Something like that. It's a complete disgrace. It takes courage to watch. This time our prince comes and beats the servants and drives them away, asking how you can beat the princess. However, except for the maid from the Shen mansion and the head maid. He gets the maid caned and sent to the Shen mansion. He says I will ask you about the head maid, take this away or something. Supposedly he will call to account. One episode later, you see this head maid wandering around. He defies the princess again. He is harassing. He's running out of words. This time they are interrogating him. He confesses everything. No one knows what happens to him after that. So why wasn't it done from the beginning? Then the stepmother who had these done appears. The Prime Minister supposedly does not interfere. But when he sees the result, he says oh good, kill him or something. They kill the girl's nanny. They are conspiring to kill the girl. They kidnap the girl. A festival for homes. The girl is already running away from the mansion on her own. We don't know why. Just like that. Something happens to him every time he escapes. No reason. Meaningless. Then they steal the jade from the hand of a traitor girl among the prince's soldiers. They give this to the prime minister's wife. It's unclear what they will do with it after stealing it. Supposedly they were going to use it against the prince. It's important for the prince, but I don't understand what it's important for them. They will probably save themselves with that jade. Will it ever be asked how you can save yourself with the jade you stole? As a matter of fact, their thefts never stopped. The prince went and raided the prime minister's house with the princess girl. He found the jade. He caned the Prime Minister's wife. They scolded the Prime Minister and returned home. If you could do this, why haven't you done it yet? Now they got the stick, but they continue to screw up. Nothing happens. Prince or king brother, this prime minister stole my jade. They kidnapped my wife. They beat me. They did it like this, there was no telling or punishing anything. Paso evil continues. They continue to watch. But there is no connection, no proper justification, reason, justification or logic in the events. The editing sucks. I mean, I don't know if it's because of the scriptwriter or if the director didn't convey it. It's a flawed series from start to finish. As I said, the prime minister, who did nothing, this time cooperates with the rebels of the opposing state and aims to kill the prince. So it helps. It supports. Likewise, his wife finds an acquaintance from the palace and makes a plan to inform the king that her stepdaughter, whom she married, is supposedly selling candy on the streets. The king and the queen mother are the subjects of this plan together. It's so simple. So what if he sold candy? A king asks what these candies are. Where did you buy it. Sir, our cook made it and we eat it. It was someone who made it, and that someone learned it from the current princess, who used to make and sell these candies on the streets. What's wrong with that. Who's this? Prince Jin's wife. Find him immediately, bring him in and arrest him, completely shut down the house of the prime minister who lied to us, and do what is necessary, says the king. For no reason. I couldn't make any sense of it. So this girl is being arrested for selling candy on the street? When the prince hears this, he wants to save the princess, they say stop, don't do it, it will backfire. Justice will be served, just wait. The princess is arrested, but nothing is done to the prime minister's mansion. From where? Again, for no reason. Because the series is wrong. Wrong.Was this review helpful to you?
Mortals and Immortals
It was a good series. I enjoyed watching it. There were parts that I found lame and incomplete. Things like going off topic or digressing, death, birth, mortality, immortality a few times and it confuses people. It would have been better if there were no confusing things like that, if it weren't for jumping from branch to branch and if it was followed in a certain order and the subject was handled like that. However, it is still a great production, good actors, good acting, good management, good costumes, good make-up, it shows that importance is given to the series. It is meticulous. There is effort. That's why the series shines. It makes you say it could have been much better. I liked the emotionality in the series. It was well-presented. I was especially impressed by the scenes of QingYue and Bai Jiu Si's children dying and Meng Chang Qin dying. It was very emotional. While saying this, the scenes with Zhao Yi Qin brought movement to the series. It added a different color. I liked it very much. Bai Lu and Joseph Zeng's performances were also very good. They gave an example of a good couple. They were in harmony. I also liked He Rui Xian and Chen Xin Hai. They gave good performances. Liang Yong Qi, Zhao Zhao Yi, Hong Yao, Sarita Sun, Ayden Sng, Wang Ting Wen, Zuo Xio Qing, Huang Ri Ying, Zhaou Jie Qiong were the actors who caught my attention. I liked it. I recommend it to those who want to watch.Was this review helpful to you?
Kaptan
I really liked the story and the way it was handled. I found the actress very successful. A two-way player. It gives both romanticism and the actions can be harsh in opposition. Her face is also very suitable. He uses it well.The male actor also fits his role with his tough lines and muscular body. They made a successful couple. Also the action scenes were nice. The images of wolves and tigers are also realistic. The actor also imitated a wolf and his behavior was good according to them. He gave a wild person beautifully and reflected his purity and animalism beautifully.
The cast is also crowded and good players. It was a good production. It is going very well. Keep watching.
A TV series that I will recommend to my friends who do not watch, I say health to those who contributed.

Imagination
Although there are things that are against my belief, we all know the heaven and hell events from religious teachings and holy books. Other than that, there is no such thing as seeing, coming and telling. Therefore, I just said it was the imagination of the scriptwriter, the writer. I watched it that way. In my opinion, it was a very good series. It especially satisfied me in terms of acting. I watched the other aspects with laughter, amazement, interest, sometimes anger, and sometimes saying, "Oh, how can this be?". I especially found the 11th episode great. It was a very emotional episode. I cried while watching this episode. In my opinion, the leading actors gave award-worthy performances. First of all, our veteran actress Kim Hye Ja, whose performance at her age, such a beautiful, fluent acting, made me say, "Bravo!" I congratulate her. Of course, she gave a superior performance in Son Suk Ku. She showed a very good harmony with an older actor, a superior acting, and a superior performance in emotional scenes. Well done. Han Ji Min also joined later, but she showed her talent. She made me say, "This is how it is." I liked it very much. The other actor I want to be given an award for is Ryu Deok Hwan. Exceptionally beautiful, simple but striking acting, perfect harmony with Kim Hye Ja and the play evokes a beautiful mother-son relationship. Also sweet quarrels. Well-crafted. I should also congratulate the director. These actors I mentioned played award-winning roles. I also liked Cheon Ho Jin's play, I especially liked his image of the hell president much more. Good acting. This role suits him very well. I also liked Lee Jung Eun's role very well. Congratulations. I watched it despite it being against my belief and liked it. I'm not saying I approve of it, but if anyone wants to watch it, I say watch it.Was this review helpful to you?
Imitations keep the originals alive.
I like heroic adventures. I started with this purpose. After a couple of episodes, I realized that there was no heroic story as I understood it. It was a wannabe heroic series. It was likened to American productions such as Transformers, Robocop, Captain America, Marvel, it was like taking them as an example and making it up. I didn't like it. Imitations keep the originals alive. In other words, it didn't bring any benefit to the new one. The story and all that. It couldn't go beyond being a show-off series, so I couldn't watch it anymore. It was a shame for two actors I liked, Ao Rui Peng and Zhang Yu Xi. They were too much for this series. Those who like this type of series can watch it. It can be an action for those who don't mind imitations.And it's like a children's series. In other words, fairy tales for adults and realities for kids.

They've also dressed Luo Yun Xi in layers.They expect her to move with those layers of clothing. It doesn't work. You're supposed to think those layers of clothing open, spill out, and become weapons. But in reality, they actually hinder her. No one can do those moves in that dress. She can't jump, turn left and right, swing a sword, or kick. With all due respect, it's just not working. I don't understand what kind of plot or idea this is. It's a shame for the actors. It felt like they couldn't do a proper job with all those good actors. I couldn't get into the plot. I didn't like it. I don't want to disturb the viewers.

he princess's intrigues
I watched 5 episodes. I couldn't stand it. It is about a princess dealing with the character called Liu Li. It is based on how they will separate her from her husband, how they will disgrace her, how they will accuse her of a crime and pin it on her. It's a series that gets passed over by watching the same things over and over again. I respect their fans. Some people like it very much. Some people don't like it. I did not like. It is not nice, it is wrong, for someone to constantly try to do harm to another and for this reason to use women whose identities I do not know. What right this princess has to do this is another mystery. It's as if he rules that city, those people. Supposedly there is a king. Our hero Liu Li's husband, Pei Xing Jian, is the Judge of their city.I think they are planning to bring a woman similar to Xing Jian's ex-wife, anger his new wife, and break them up. Female maid. She doesn't act like a maid, she acts like a woman hitting on the Judge. His wife, Liu Li, is also watching. If that woman is a maid, why doesn't she give her additional work and prevent her from taking care of her husband? Make you clean toilets all day long. Mop the floor. See when she can spare time for your husband. Or pull your ear, scold, punish. No sir. Is watching. If anyone has a clue as to why he did that, let me know.
In the second incident, they provoke Liu Li's sister against Liu Li. But they fail. Thereupon, Her Majesty the Princess punishes that brother by beating him to death and bringing him to Liu Li's house and leaving him. He was supposed to die there. The blame was left to him. It was very simple. But Judge Pei found a doctor and realized that the sister had been beaten and seriously injured. They even made her drink ginseng soup so that this would not be noticed and gave her medicine so that she could not speak. The sister only points out that the woman who brought him made him like this. Their father is also there. After all, this woman dies.
Here's the interesting thing: They make this woman like this and leave her there. The woman next to them is the culprit. The judge, his sister and his father do nothing against that person. They look like that. Will I forgive those who beat my daughter to death? Can't I say two words? I won't attack. No. They do not attack. They don't say anything. The husband, on the other hand, is supposedly a JUDGE and is not involved in the incident in any way. So you attempted to kill this woman. Let's take a statement from you. You come and see. You take him to a room and lock him. Then you call the security team and have them questioned. These are not happening. And this Judge is someone who can meet with the Big King. So he is not an ordinary personality. This being the case, how can we stand by and watch a person die in plain sight?
Who is this Princess that kills people? He's troubling some people. He gets rid of what he wants. He takes with him what he wants. He questions or performs actions such as rewards and punishments. He interferes in your affairs. With what right can this Princess do this when the King does not? Why not file a complaint? Deaths are tolerated. The treacherous approaches are ignored. I did not understand. I didn't want to understand either. It's a shame to put effort into a series like this. I started watching because of Gülnezer. She is very beautiful and a very good actress. But unfortunately, it was launched here with a model-like presentation. His acting was left to his sophomore year. Timmy Xiu is all about appearance. It's accompanying. His role is very low. The main character we can call the main character is Zhu Rui, who plays the role of the Princess. In the episodes I watched, they constantly focused on him as if he were the leading character and we watched his intrigues. He played his role well. Let's say that role suits him. But the topic is shallow. It has been turned into a game between a single princess and Liu Li and Pei, whom she wants to separate from each other. Simplified. It could have been much better. The fact that the events happened this way and were kept far from believability is another matter. Because there is no justice. Anyone can do as they wish. People are being deceived. He is being killed. The person doing it is obvious, but everyone is watching. There is no atmosphere of trust. That country also has rulers. They have kings. They stare without doing anything. Do you think it's normal? How many episodes is this series? Will we continue to watch this game until the end? In the end, will that princess get away with what she did, or will she be punished? Why should we wait for the end? I don't think it happened. I found it wrong. I won't watch.
