Tasteful to the end.
Nice light hearted comedy. I liked this period drama very much The producer didn't overstretch the story with too many episodes. Sometimes drama are stretched thin with too many subplots added and same comedy are repeated over and over again and the whole things becomes distasteful near the ending and you would skip some portions to finish in order not to fall asleep. This drama still tasty right to the end. Perhaps even hoping for a second series. And I hoping for a second series without a change of casts.Was this review helpful to you?

Poor cast. Poor storyline
Poor casting. Female leads the fox spirits looks older than the male lead the empower. Instead of having charms and charisma, even sex appeal, she acted childish and spoiled most of the time. Can see some sign of facial wrinkles when she laughs or smile, poor camera or lighting. And yet the Empower Dowager looks too young. The side plots against the empower are always short cut with little explanations. The dialogue are predictable and sound repeated most of the time. More like a AI generated story where you put in the variables and storyline and the computer comes up with the end product. Almost like a children storyline with some kissing and bedroom screen. Looks like the producers and directors are confused on how they conveyWas this review helpful to you?

Worst part is they put a 30plus actress with the look of someone closer to 40 and made her act cute and try to make her to young and cute unsuccessfully. Even with all the made-up and eyelasjes, lighting, filters, she still look way too old for her part. Its almost neaseating to see her trying to play cute. She has very dull eye expression, more suited to play someone with hard life or serious attitude. I could name half a dozen Chinese actresses off hand more suited. I like the story which is why I finished the series despite having some revolting impulse. Don't believe me, watch and examine it yourself. Was this review helpful to you?
