With this ridiculous stage make up is this drama still watchable? Like I cannot see myself immersed in the storyline while the characters look this unbelievable...

actually the romance element of story of minglan was very good but different from LLTG, It is more like a mature love and other phases of love. But regardless it was a strong element in that drama too. (it was slow burn romance, maybe because of that before you are hooked you might have lost your interest, I love slow burn romance but it is personal choice) ı agree good plot with good romance is very hard to find. Usually the romance heavy dramas have YA settings , thus hard to relate.

Actually I have watched both Nirvana in Fire S1 and Promise of Chang an. I dind't enjoy both of them as much as I have enjoyed LLTG. It is probably because both of the dramas(NIF, POC) were heavly focused on court politcs. I like realistic settigns, a good slice of life story, with good humor and romance combined . I love seeing mid tier or little bit above mid tier(little bit lower from the def royalty) people's daily life(economy, marriage, theri job proffesion etc). That's why I find LLTG more talored to my preferences thus enjoyed more.

thank you so much, since Sword and The Brocade received two confidence votes I will definitely chek it out. Again thank you for the time you spared for writing this. Oh I have watched the rebel princess acting and cinematography were very good but the story was not as good as this one also it was very heavy in terms of politics so ı didn't enjoy it as much as LLTG, but as you said it is a must watch serie.

The Authors "MDL Top 10 Dramas Aired in the 2010s" list has a very similar taste to mine so will look for other articles written by them, thank you

this is one of the best drama I have encountered this year. I'm in love with the story and I'm actually suffering while waiting for the next episode. This would be loved by people who love Ensembl, Slice Of life, strong leads, romance, comedy as as and example dramas such as Nothing Gold Can Stay, Story of minglan, GOT

Thank you so much for the recommendations. I have finished A dream of splendor, although the story is not as good as LLTG it was a decent drama, acting and cinematography were very good. The Sword and The Brocade, I have thought about starting so many times, I really like Seven Tan, her modern dramas have very good text, they are very real-life like situations, but for some unknown reason I cannot start to watch that one may be because I didn't like "Under the Power" . But I will look at it since you have recommended it.

thank you so much for the recomendation I will check it out. Sorry for the Dynasty mistake , give it to my lack of knowledge.

Please dear viewer, can you recommend a drama like this one if it ever exists. I liked "Nothing gold can stay" and "the story of minglan", they were similar to this one in some aspects, if you know u know.

this is the best C-drama I have ever watched, if you like serious, slice-of-life drama which are spiced with romance and comedy ingredients, this is your cup of tea. this is related to court but not the entire story is about HAN*Dynasty Court, we are able to see real life of ancient people, no dub, real voices of the actor, and serious good acting. Waaaah will I ever encounter a drama like this one again? Also if you liked "NOTHİNG GOLD CAN STAY" you may like this one too.
