It is probably the best harem drama I have ever watched ( I think it is even better than Legend of Concubine Zhen Huan). I was impressed by its tight woven plot and fantastic actings.

Story
The story is about a strong who enters the palace to investigate and avenge her sister’s death. I was always a fan of strong female lead dramas, and this one was no exception. Seeing Wei Yingluo so mentally strong and her way of solving things are indeed very interesting.
The story is very tight and the costumes are very colourful as well.
I can’t find any loopholes but seeing irritating characters such as Erqing is such a pain in my ass.

Cast
Wu Jin Yan was very impressive in her role of Wei Yingluo. She was not very beautiful but her way of acting was very good. Fuca Fuhen and the Empress both did a pretty good job. The empress was my favorite character in my Yanxi Palace.
They all left a good impression in my heart.

Music
The songs and osts are just average

Rewatch
I would definitely watch it again as I will miss Wu Jin Yan
