Drama with a sensitive topic

This is a dramatic story with sensitive topics like the feeling of abandonment for a girl that can make a girl search for love in the wrong places. The consequences and family turmoil in this 2007 Chinese society. I usually like comedies or some drama with a little comedy. This is a very good series if you can handle the drama as an audience. I left as I find the topic difficult to watch for my own entertainment. Everyone's tastes are different and this can be a good series for others.

Great political intrigue

My goal to watch C-dramas is for entertainment, learning Mandarin and to laugh. This is a great political drama, not so much any comedy mixed into it. I miss that. I found it interesting but at the same time after 16 episodes I just found I needed a change to another show, I pick it up at a later date.

Sweet family comedy

Such a sweet family comedy with good values and learning emotional maturity. I enjoy watching when all ages are the characters. Parents including their teenagers are featured in this series. Only 16 episodes and that is just perfect.
It is relaxing and even emotional at times to see some relationships grow and mature.

So much action at every episode

This is a great political drama. There is lots of suspense and action at every episode. The storyline is amazing and counted as one of my best so far. Not boring, no concubine drama, not too romantically inclined. It serves as a truly bing watching series.
I can count on only a few amazing Chinese period dramas and this storyline is different from the others so a great series.

So well done, crime story

This is a very well done criminal story. Somewhat too scary and gory for me, I kept muting the sound as the music is so well done to stress the audience. I am not one for stressful series but all the actors are super. It is certainly worth watching if you like crime series. This is only my choice as I prefer light series with not much stress.

Simply genius.

One of the best period series. Every episode is a gem. Genius comedy all around. It only takes a smile, or a facial expression to make us laugh out loud. Just simply extraordinary writing. Every episode is a must watch. Every character is special, and even all the male leads have their own strength and failures.

Lot's of fighting scenes

I have tried to watch this series twice, this 2nd time I got to episode 8. I know I have seen many episodes when I first started watching. I truly like the cast, the main lead and others. It just seems that there are too many fight scenes that make this series a little long for me. The story line is very good, political intrigue, spying, and of course some comedy from the actors.

Suspense to it's maximum

This is a great series. There is lots of violence for vengeance so expect it. It's a good story and the music makes it so much more stressful to watch. I do find there is a lot of violence and the theme is vengeance. I enjoyed seeing new actors for me in this series. The suspense and political intrigue with twists and turns makes it a bing watching series.

Historical period drama

This is a historical war drama. I love period dramas but this one seems to take on so many characters, I have a difficult time following the series of events. I truly like all the actors and that is why I tried to watch it twice. I am giving up this time at episode 8 as I prefer some comedy compared to war dramas.

Great Period Drama

This series has romance, political intrigue, sweet humour, and great acting from the cast. I usually like a series that can keep me watching for the next episode. This is one of these. I have my favorites, Love Like the Galaxy, Joy of Life 1 & 2, Lost You Forever, 1 & 2, Sword Snow Stride, Secret of Three Kindoms, Nirvana in Fire, and this is another one.
I do have to mention that after many episodes this series becomes a drama with inside women jealousy and outside male jealousy that rather dampens the fun of it.

Excellent political period drama

This is an excellent political period drama. The actors are well known and the complete cast together are fun to watch.
Of course there is a love storyline as in most C-dramas. I found a few episodes in the middle of the series difficult to watch as there was "sadistic" violence against women and children. Even without these troubling episodes, this series would have still been excellent and probably one of the best period drama of 2026.

Who's the bad guy?

Wow! even though this series is a little dated, (2019), the story is a "mild" psychological thriller. Who's the real bad guy, we just don't know. Every episode is filled with intrigue. Yes, because it is a little older, the fashion sense is dated but that's just fine. The fun of this intrigue, makes it a binge watching series to find out who is the good guy and who is the bad guy.
For sure 58 episodes is a lot for any series, but I still finished it.

Too simple

This series first 4 episodes are kind of dramatic. Then there a scenes in the other episodes that are too immature for the mail leads who are in their early 40s and 50s. More character plots for young teenagers. The story is good, the music is good but I stopped watching by episode 9 as there was not enough intrigue, and mature material for these main leads that I usually truly enjoy watching.

What a breath of fresh air

This is a humorous period series. It has humour, intrigue after intrigue; political strategy in the imperial court. The writers did such a good job in every episode, to mix intrigue with humour. The music is also perfect, not to loud as many C-dramas can have very loud music. The composer did an amazing job with this music. It has many great well know actors that makes this a series not to miss.

Stressful and intriguing

This is a surprisingly stressful and intriguing series. I did drop it reluctantly because of the theme. It is revenge for past history of child abuse and I found it too difficult to watch. Who's the bad guy is the question while I am watching. Trying to figure out what is really happening. It seems to be a spy series, but time will tell. The main leads are excellent but even the support cast are all well known.
