Sheer Perfection
Oh man, did THIS series have me in its grip. From episode 1, it grabbed me by the neck, slammed me against the wall and kissed me like a lover after a fight.
It's making me pay for ignoring it for over 2 years. The convo went like this.
TV Series: "You thought you didn't need me in your life, didn't you?"
Me: "I...I thought you would be too big. I mean, my God, you're 70 episodes long! I was scared you'd under perform. I... " Lowered head. "I didn't want to be disappointed."
TV Series grabbed my chin and raised my head so that our eyes could meet. "And now, you know just how wrong you were. Every episode has filled you to the brim with everything you wanted and things you didn't even know you wanted. You're mine now. You're going to take every bit of me. Every fucking second, do you hear me? I own you now!"
Me: *trembling* "yes... I'm yours."
That's what happened and I've been going to bed at 5am three nights in a row since I started. 😂 I've finished it now and I'm so happy I've only gotten about 5 hours of sleep for five days. Well worth it.
What I've loved about "The Story of Yanxi Palace" The smart as hell FL, the scheming. The way the emperor talks such a deep sexy voice, the murderous plots. The revenge. The arranged marriages. The bonding and outsmarting.. I love the relationships and how the emperor learned to accept her for who she was. I loved her loyalty and love for her chosen ppl. I enjoyed seeing the growth of the characters.
