hard to watch
Our series was 55 episodes, I was so patient to finish it that I couldn't stand it in the end, I quit in the 47th episode. I no longer have the patience. Our series, which went very well in the beginning, broke down in the middle, and towards the end it got worse and got out of hand. It was unattainable. The reason was that when the character called Jing Wu was included in the series, the series started to deteriorate a little bit and completely broke down. It was a one-man series. The character Lu Zhao You, who dominated everyone from the beginning, suddenly turned into a passive character, a helpless character. Suffering from helplessness and blemishes on his face, the character of Mo Qing later turned into an irresistible hero. He became smarter and more fighter than anyone else. However, Lu Zhao You, who even brought a GOLDEN IMMORTAL to heel, was defeated by the stupid, idiotic character called Jing Wu who defeated everyone. That character's only obsession is Lu ZhaoYou, she can't do anything against him. However, the character Lu Zhao You knows this, but does not hold him, does not prevent him, but also blocks the character of Mo Qing. then she does the evil she wants to the people she wants. The last thing that blew my patience was the following: Qin Xian would not be able to kill because he had captured the character's heart. But he went and killed the Ah Da character. He fought Mo Qing to the death. At that time, neither the story nor the script had any credibility or the weight of integrity, I don't know. Don't shake it, so make it up and make it up whatever you want, it doesn't matter. Who cares if the show breaks down from start to finish. It's a pity. They ruined it. The same things happened in the events of reviving this immortal. There were too many fictitious things, one-way events and impositions. Everything that will not happen has been done. After all, it can be called FANTASTIC and peeled off. But even in the series, the screenwriter made things that he said will not be done, done. He self-destructed. My beauty ruined the show. The games of the actors, the watchability and integrity of the series, were destroyed. At least it did for me. Shame on the episode I watched so much. I couldn't finish. I wish they hadn't extended it for nothing, 40 episodes would have been better. There were very backwards, fake stories and events in this series. It was very tight. It was a pity. Shame on the players and the management. I am sad. I hope the writer will be upset too.Was this review helpful to you?
Kaptan
I like his story. He has a very good and very large cast. I like the leading actors very much, I watched many of their series. In this drama alone, I saw Shawn Dou very weak. This series does not have the vitality of its previous series. I was sorry for him. I hope he is not sick. It is not good to lose that much. Again, as always, he was smiling, but his weakness was too much for me. Especially in such activated scenes, it has no credibility. You are fighting three or five people. You are eating. It's not believable. Other than that, his game is good. It fits everywhere.Our actress is like the maestro of this series. Very very good. He is more lively, more genial, more aggressive and playing very well. Like a man in some places. In some places, she makes her femininity talk. It also makes these transitions very well. It is also romantic. The warrior too. Rebellious too. He's also a vixen type who breaks his grip. So versatile.
Our other players are also fine. The production is solid. Unlike many, I liked it.

Just like that
I didn't like it at all. I couldn't get into the series. I tried really hard, but it just wouldn't work. I just can't get into it, I can't commit.Landy Li was great in Love of Nirvana, but She's terrible in this one. Her acting is dull, cold, lifeless, and unmotivated. They might have told him to give him that kind of image. I mean, okay, there's a seriousness to her work, but otherwise, we see a slightly different face. Something happens, we change. She's always the same.Ao Rui Peng has almost no energy. It's as if this series wasn't for her. It just didn't work. I couldn't see any warmth, or any chemistry, between the two. They just didn't work for me. They didn't work. I don't know why. These roles are obviously not for them.
What about the supporting roles? They're completely nonexistent. They're just random. They're like outsiders.
I'm not going to nitpick. I just couldn't get into the series. I dropped it.

Bad Guy Ke
I couldn't bear it anymore. Even though there are very few episodes left, I left the actors even though I liked them. Because it was so simple that I couldn't resist. The character called Ke does all the bad things. It will most likely come out eventually, but it is surprising that nothing is done even though it is known. I think he's a person who was brought in because the qi family was a distant relative and the old woman's own grandchildren were dying, and the other was pretending to be sick because she was afraid of death. All the work is done by the grandmother. But Ke has been given so much authority that he even commands the family's housekeeper. He directs the men. He shoots and kills. They do not listen to other people in the mansion. Even the third young master. He was brought in by that grandmother to run the business. Why is the young master in the Mansion commanding the housekeeper, who is a more influential and inherited character than Ke? She comes after grandma. Haven't you had a haircut? In fact, Grandma's maid speaks for this Mr. Ke whenever she comes across it. He leads the grandmother. It poisons the tea. But even though it is known, he is not even investigated for "Come and see here. Why are you doing it like that?" There is no need to look for witnesses, for example, if they pressed this maid. Why doesn't he investigate this maid when you know? You don't question. Even though the grandmother said to her grandson, people do not listen to her grandson, daughter-in-law, or those who come, but listen to Mr. Ke, even though they say they are beaten, robbed, killed? I couldn't solve this in 14 chapters. Everyone knows, but they keep saying they need a witness, they need proof. Question the men next to you. question the maid. No. I guess they say they will do it all at the end of the episode. It will be like this after all. They even kidnapped the blind woman because she died. They had fun from the back. So it's a very inconsistent series. The Lieutenant, who comes after the general, is shown to be an idiot, but commands the unit. Inconsistent. His mouth doesn't stop. He's talking nonsense. He's gossiping. Such a rank soldier. What is this joke show? On the contrary, the general is also very serious. The one who runs away from home takes his breath away in this camp on the border. I don't understand A lot of pointless stuff has happened. If only they had brought the woman they would bring as a witness and kept them in a room instead of leaving them in a room. Now, at the suggestion of Mr. Ke, a childhood sweetheart is given a room with the newlyweds. I am shocked. The more I say I try to disrupt the series, the more I break it as an outsider. Meaningless things. the man is married. If you want to get married. The person proposing to remarry with a married man is also single, and he is also supposedly a member of the qi family. Albeit from afar. Don't they tell the man? You should marry me instead of trying to do this to me. Or what if the grandmother said, instead of saying we'll find someone for you, take it, Mr. KE is single, moreover, he's at work, he'll do your job, too. No. They're all idiots. The third master, Mr. Ke, does not say why should you marry instead of suggesting it to us. Why doesn't Cingöz say bride? They're all idiots. He will surely seduce the married third young master. The atmosphere will deteriorate, the couple will break up and so on. They will feast. Who? Evil Ke and Maid xiaqio. Give up. I couldn't stand it. I couldn't stand this stupidity anymore. Written by the screenwriter, how did the director who didn't film it, how did they endure such stupidity? Shame on the players. Especially Tian Xi Wei acting cute, sweet, very beautiful. I felt sorry for him. Shame on him in such a production. It was great. My CAST note to him.Was this review helpful to you?
The plot is gone.
I'd like to start by saying I liked the fortieth episode better. If you ask why, it's because everything is resolved, everyone is at ease, everything falls into place, and the secondary roles get what they want. The fact that one of the maids becomes the prince's concubine and the other the head of the business especially brought a smile to my face. These kinds of people can achieve their ideals. They achieve their desires. Heng's assistant also became a general and guards the border. So, the fact that it contained such beautiful elements impressed me.The series was good in the beginning. I enjoyed watching it. But over time, I think it changed after the fifth or tenth episode. It got complicated, almost drifting away from the plot. For one thing, the dream-within-a-dream, or scenario, and the constant internal interventions within this scenario ruined it. Just as we were trying to do something different, what happened was ruined. And it's too much for a young general to take on a king, two princes, his father, his fiancée, even seven families, and torture them all because of his years-long obsession. Let's say one can't do it, but what about the others? He threatens the king. He manipulates two princes. He imprisons and tortures everyone he encounters. While the others can't do these things, no one asks why. He was a pain in the neck for 36 episodes on his own. We watched this one-sided series. It wasn't like that. The comedy was good. The cast was chosen from actors who are very comedic. It was a warm, endearing series. I liked the actors. The leads were very compatible. Li Yi Tong outdid himself in his acting. He put in a lot of effort. Congratulations. Liu Yu Ning already has a style. He continues in the same vein. Those roles suit him. I enjoy watching them. He suits the role of Zhu Xu Dan. I liked it. Riley Wang was very good. Wang You Shuo was very good. He drove us crazy. He was more than capable as the villain. He suits both good and bad roles. He plays well. I liked it. Chang Long is very good, and comedy suits him very well. Wang Cheng Zi is also a good comedian. I like it. The King and His Concubine, Song and his wife, The Servant Girls, The Screenwriter, Mr. Gao were also some of the ones that caught my attention. The music was good, the clothes were good, the direction was good, the acting was good. As I said, there was a lot of interference in the plot, so much so that there were constant changes in and out, but it became confusing. The plot got messy. The atmosphere changed. Sometimes it became a matter of "why are we back here again?" kind of thing. Things like that bore people. Sometimes changing things up can ruin it. Overall, it's a good series, and everything is good. But we can't ignore what we saw. However, I recommend it to those who haven't seen it.

Bad Woman Lin Show
I liked the series in general. It started off well. It was interesting. It seemed different to me. It seemed different from the dramas we are used to. However, the casting was not good, the story was not settled, it was scattered, a bad woman was created, a semi-unhealthy, constantly coughing, such a familiar type and a sneaky woman hiding under it. The actor was surprising. Although I said it did not suit her at first, later on it was a portrayal that I could say okay, especially our actor did the sickly state well. I leave the rest to everyone's discretion. In my opinion, he was not a suitable actor for the role. I liked some of the cast. I did not like some. They included too many bogeyman actors. You can't have just anyone play a bandit. The cast was not good in this respect. But generally the prominent characters were good.The second thing that caught my eye was that the bad woman Lin was not noticed, whether she was noticed or not, and even though she was known among the bad ones, she was treated badly but was still held in high esteem. Yan Shao protects and looks after this character whom he has suspected from the beginning, and in the end he is convinced that she will harm him. He doesn't tell anyone. What can he say to his brother? She is supposedly a sick woman. They tell her not to leave the house. They lock her in a room. She appears wherever they go. No one asks you if you are sick and what are you doing here. They just ask why you came. They don't ask how you came. You know that you are sick and since you came all the way here and came out of everywhere, you are not sick. One would be suspicious. The brothers don't hear. Only Yan Shao hears. The father doesn't know anyway. When they realize that she is bad, they don't even intervene. He poisons one person at a time. He throws dust at one and smokes at the other. He spreads poison and so on, but nothing happens to the woman. No one even asks why he is doing it. Can such a character exist? Is there such a story? Make it up and move it. Just write it down and it won't happen. Please be a little more convincing. Screenwriters. Please. Gao Wei Guang and Xuan Lu played well as the leads. I especially liked the male actor's stance and the female actor's liveliness. Jia Nai Na was very good as the sick woman in my opinion. She was weak in the other bad woman case. There was no body language. She speaks with her face but cannot adjust her body accordingly. She looks very sloppy. Martin Zeng, Ren Hao, Peng Bo, Yuan Yu Xuan were the standouts.

Princesses
It was a good series in general. I watched it until the end. However, it was not very good. There were many glitches. I did not like the ending either. Some things were not avoided at all, the clothes are beautiful, the actors are beautiful, the shootings are beautiful. But there was no attempt to simplify the subjects. Some things were done for a fait accompli. Like changing the face. Like falling into a hole in the desert and getting out of there. Like struggling in desert conditions. Like 10 people and one person being successful even without being on equal terms. Like the princess who was hung for days, having a normal birth instead of having her arms hanging with that torture and having a miscarriage if she was pregnant or dying in that situation. In other words, how can I put it, it was like they went by rote. I did not like most of these parts. But I watched them. Because there were actors I liked. I like Alen Fang very much. I watched a lot of her series. But she is the same in every series. There is not a single gram of change in her acting, face, or movements. In other words, I am playing a new character. Let me be different. No. She plays in the mode of "I am this, brother". That is her only drawback. I really liked Hankiz Omar in this series. She gives a very nice image. She is a very beautiful girl. Although she looks very small and petite, her arrogance, showing the dignity befitting a princess and showing herself as someone different than she is was admirable. She also played comfortably. She did not grin in the kissing scenes. She did what was necessary. I liked it very much. The second actor I liked was Ji Ling Chen. She also changed her childish and different expression beautifully with the manner of a Lord. This image suits her very well. She really played like a different person. I liked her very much for this reason. Well done. Levin Gao and Guan Chang were also very good.Was this review helpful to you?
A bloody, vibrant adventure with lots of action
First of all, it was a beautiful movie. It was an exciting, adventurous, action-packed movie from beginning to end. I think the striking title was friendship. It started as friendship, but continued with backstabbing, misunderstandings, betrayal and fighting. Finally, they settled accounts. They also resolved the misunderstanding. But it was too late.What is essential here is the strict rules of the past. Freedom being in the hands of others and the pain this caused to humanity were revealed. It turned into a struggle for rights for people classified as noble, common and slave class. The kingdom is also in a separate place. No one thinks about their people. That's why the kingdom collapses. The people rebel. Freedoms are gained.
Of course, we couldn't see the gain, but maybe a sequel will be made.
The story was well thought out, but some things were skipped, the easy way was preferred, and simplified in order to fit into a movie. Also, there are very bloody scenes, the excessive exposure of organ severings is annoying for the audience. I don't know if it will be encouraging, but it may seem disgusting and oppressive to some people. I think it should be less and should be glossed over more simply, it shouldn't be shown too much. Other than that, the acting was good. I liked it. Especially Cha Seung Won, who played the king, was the most prominent in my opinion. He played it very well. I can even say that he added a role to his role. I liked it. Kang Don Won, Park Jeong Min, Kim Shin Rok, Jin Seon Kyu, Jun Sung Ill are the ones I like. I recommend it to those who like this kind of action. Watch it. It's very good.

Esther Yu
The series is very well-known. It's a game of going back to the past and changing things. But I didn't understand this in the first three episodes I watched. I didn't understand the plot. I didn't understand what was being said. I didn't understand what the actors were doing either. It seemed to me like Esther Yu's game of doing some funny things with her eyebrows down or drooping as if she was sad. She's being funny. Does it suit her? It's debatable. Childish things. It's not a style that appeals to every viewer. It seemed very unbecoming to me. I didn't like it. This understanding of the game also affected ML. It didn't suit her either. It dragged that actor down. The actors are good, talented actors. I was surprised how they got a role in such a scenario, in such a child's play. It's unbelievable that Esther Lu could play those roles with her face shape and eyebrows. I think she should stop being comedic. She should be more solid. She should do more dramatic roles. I don't have any objections to her acting, but it doesn't suit her. Sorry. I haven't mentioned the voices yet. It didn't work. I barely watched the three episodes. I couldn't bear it.Was this review helpful to you?
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...
