What a Stupendous BUDGET this Drama must have had.
Those LAVISH sets .. exquisite costumes .. My jaws fell soaking in all the atmosphere ..
10/10 ALL for JUST that.
SIGH!! The Story had SUCH potential. BUT the visual telling of it - be it with camerawork, OST, character portrayal, dialogues, acting was SO DULL!! All that raw emotion and complexity of the many many agendas and motivations was laid lifeless by a flat pace - rhythm - linearity of plot .. As though lifted raw from a historical timeline in chronological order ..
YAWN!! 🥱
Didn't work for me. 🙈 EVEN Yanxi Palace had MORE STYLE in its telling - and character portrayal and acting.
Interesting though that it garnered QUITE a following 🤓
Unlike the 2 other period dramas which IMO had far superior treatment in all departments. ~ Joy of Peaceful Serenity ❤️🔥 ~ Royal Nirvana ❤️🔥❤️🔥
These two unfortunately were not that well received (lot of brickback and flak 😅🙃
Just leaving this contrarian opinion here in case anyone else feels the same way - hey you have company. 🤪
Did you watch it finally?I am more than four years late, probably, found it by chance two years ago, put it on…
😍
I so want to draw this drama to the attention of viewers looking for good "meaty, Challenging" dramas that break the mold and serve up some serious "styling" in plot and storytelling with complex characters and dialogues that shine and make you work at "what did he / she mean"
😂😂
True it's not for end of day exhausted sleepy time viewing - but for a rested weekend when you want to chew a juicy meaty bone with fat and meat and spice
💯👌🏽
A. Rewatching for 3rd time - after a gap of 3 plus years.
