Get rid of Jiang Yunqing early doors!
24 episodes approximately 40 mins each.
The first 16 episodes I thought this was going to be a strong 8 because it was fantastic. Funny, not too much political intrigue and an excellent story. I really liked the Emperor and he had some gravitas for the role he was playing. He was smart, righteous and a real benevolent leader.
Even 20 episodes in I was still thinking this could be around about 4 rating.
Then it became a complete and utter shambles.
I can forgive you for billing it as a romance when the love interests barely have any screen time together when it’s actually more of a bromance drama, I can even probably forgive the terrible production, including the loud music which drowned out the dialogue at times.
But what I can’t forgive is constantly letting the villains off because you want peace but EVERY… SINGLE… TIME…. They go back to plotting and scheming how to kill everybody.
And what were we left with? Most of their friends and families got killed by the end episode war and even Yue Chi just stood there while the fake princess stabbed him and tried to blow everything up.
She was then allowed to just jump off the building to her death and that was that…… hmmm!
The white haired prince then turns around to our hero and says, “actually we are the same and have the same goals. I’m good now and will look after my people.”
Okay dokey then. Sigh!
It ended up being a complete farce and became really unwatchable.
