The drama was a pretty decent one. There wasn't too many complicated, unnecessary scenes. It was simple and straight to the point. 3 people go on a journey together to explores their origin and the history of their parents. They meet Ziying and the 4 of them hit off pretty well.The acting in this show is my biggest disappointment. Han Lingsha expressions and actions are exaggerated too much that it makes it seem like Ziying and Mengli aren't putting in any effort into acting at all. Tianhe was the only character who had acting skills that fitted his role, as a man whose never been out of his home and doesn't know a lot of thing. Ziying and Mengli don't really put much effort into their acting, their roles seem very easy to act, to be still and polite.
The costuming of the drama was pretty good. I loved the colors of Qionghua and their outfits were super gorgeous. Lingsha's red outfits were also pretty remarkable. Even though Qionghua is a cultivator sect, there was barely any fighting scenes. Not too bad.
I really shipped Ziying and Lingsha together.

Let’s begin with the story line, it wasn’t the best and I’ve honestly seen better. The first couple of episodes were in like the camp, and all we ever saw was just Liu Ling chasing Shen Yan, and it got so annoying for me to watch. Shen Yan wasn’t giving any reaction and the story wasn’t getting anywhere. All of a sudden Shen Yan just falls in love with Liu Ling, made no sense at all. It just felt like Shen Yan took that chance as in like oh, I can’t stay single my entire life and I have this princess dangling all over me, I’ll just take this chance and make her my wife since she loves me so much.I don’t know what up with the costumes, like I’ve seen Shen Yan wear the same outfits over and over like he really only has 3 outfits in the entire show, and what’s up with Ling Bi’s outfit. I understand she’s a maid, but she’s a maid of a princess, so Ling Bi’s costume needs look more like she serves the princess.

This whole show was a mess, so this entire entire show so absurd and funny at the same time, with a bit of excitement when watching it. The cast was great, and you start liking the people who help Lu Xhen such as the Empress Dowager, however you start hating her after watching it, and start liking the princess, Xiao Huanyun more. To be honest Xuanyun is a very good person in my opioion. The entire show was also a ruckus. The only reason why Lu Zhen became a court official was to prove her innocence and get revenge on her dad, however she became a maid and slowly climber up a ladder, so she literally gets revenge near episodes 40, and it literally takes her like 20 minutes to get revenge and it’s over. Like girl you already got your revenge and that’s the only reason why you even entered the palace. But still choosing to stay in the palace, causing even more chaos.
I would really like to complain about the costuming. The colors to the outfit, like different level of court officials wear specific colors is very helpful, however the clothing itself needs an upgrade, and don’t even get me started with the hairstyles, the so called “chopsticks” in their hair. Lol
Now the part that gets me really mad on the show, is literally everyone in the show dies. Like whether their good or bad, literally most of the support leads and main leads die. Like wow, the king and queen die, then empress dowager dies, all the people that we hated in the show dies, like goodness gracious we go through all this trouble and Lu Zhen and Gao Zhan still couldn’t even end up together. Like the show would have been way simpler if the king and queen didn’t die.

Storyline: the beginning of the drama starts out way too slow and confusing, I’d say it starts getting more interesting after like episode 10. The last few episodes were also confusing and really rushed. Scenes were great, costuming, props, everything was awesome.Music: Love the soundtrack, definitely one of my favorites with several different songs to listen to.
Cast: what makes a drama better is appealing side characters, it’s pretty hard to hate seconds leads if they are good looking
In my opinion I think what could have improved the show was the last few episodes. It’s felt really rushed and it felt like it was going to crash. The ending was way too hasty. It feels like the dram brakes suddenly and it runs right into a wall and ends suddenly. I don’t really like that about dramas when they just have more plots even on the last episode, that ,are you feel like it might not even have time to end there.
Also there’s are probably several parts that we can cut out from the show. For example the entire Jieli and Danyin being twin sisters. I think that part could have been left out, wether they are siblings or not it would have changed the story much. As for Rong Hao he was captured twice and let out twice, that only needed to happen once and then he could have went to save his master.

I think Janice Wu did an absolute wonderful job pulling off the character Tian Jingzhi, I’ve seen her drama on Skate into Love, and gotta say she’s really good at acting, the character, Tian Jingzhi is a really lovable person who has no filter.
The music is amazing, the male leads is also very handsome, and made the show better. Not to mention that what makes a show even more interesting is having good looking cast. Zhan Xuanxuan is also really beautiful, and the other male leads are also great.
Another thing I found really funny was, even though Hong Shiguang was the “bad person”, it was pretty easy to guess he was the bad person, like the very first time he saw Xue Lingqiao really gave it away. Absolutely loved this show, we need a better ending.

To begin with the storyline was very good overall, I loved the characters, especially He Lanjun’s personality. His sarcasm and his and the fact he’s really bold really makes the cherry on top to this whole show. I love the scene when he see Pei Yuntian and they are enemies yet they are very very sarcastic around each other. Su Lianyi on the other hand was kinda like she was gluing herself to the male lead and I didn’t really like that.I also love how this show revolves on around mini stories. When it started with princess Yong Ning’s problem to The Yun family, to Tai Ping, and competition with another state/country on makeup and beauty. It makes the show a bit more interesting to watch.
Why it wasn’t 10/10:
The ending was that good, although it was sort of like a last episode thing where a bunch of things happen right before the final episode and you don’t know if all problems will get solved on the last episode making it look like there might be a season 2. I hated the fact I didn’t get to see them get married tho.

Very good show, started off fast and got to the straight point. This drama has so much family drama in it, like I don't even understand how the husband Pan Weisen even got through all of this. Shen Changqing is a great person, and it's so sad that she loses literally everyone in this show. What's even more bizarre is the fact in the end she didn't even end up with the male lead. Really good show, although the middle can get really boring since it's just companies fighting against each other and trying to deal with each other and take them down.

The ending was really not what I had expected, the perfect ending in my opinion would have been all the couples had a happy ending and the Ye family choose to stay because now they are very lonely.
Another thing to point out is that I didn't really like Ye Ming's character through some parts of the story, some parts made it really hard to watch was because the minute she let Yu Shaobai out of the painting she had a feeling she didn't love him, yet she still stayed with him, I hate the fact that she is a bit too stubborn and can't see how other people treats her sometimes.

I also love how like the main character's personality sort of like change. Like in the beginning Moon Young said "I love you" to Gang Tae, and she followed him and kept saying it, and then towards the end, Gang tae did it, that was very funny. I loved the deer scene, that was wonderful.
But can anyone answer me this question, HOW THE HELL DID HER MOTHER LIVE. Like she was pushed down the stairs, and her head was cracked open, and she was bleeding so much. Like at that point she should have already died, not to mention Moon Young's father put her in a coffin and threw into the sea, like how did she survive all of that?

This is a great story. I love the music, love the characters. I love Yu Qiling's personality, she's like annoying in a way where its very cute and lovable. The storyline was great. All the actors and actresses were very pretty, and fit for there role. I feel bad for some of the people, but it was great.The music was one of a kind, the only thing that didn't really make the story good was when Jin Yuanbao mistreats Yu Qiling after he hears that he is not the really Jiang Xiaoxuan, like he mistreats Yu Qiling like 3 times in the show for no reason. Like I think he is just mad. The ending was good but in a way bad. Yu Qiling was mad at Yuanbao for half a year, and didn't come home which was kind of messed up, but he eventually found her in the end.

This is one of a kind drama. I love how in this show, the protagonist doesn't always win. They had a really good cast and really nice music. Really a tragic drama.Honestly, Zheng Er is a really nice person, but love is what changed her. Zheng Er abuses her power. Because she is queen, and Gao Wei pampers her too much, he's willingly to do anything for her. If Zheng Er wasn't queen, she wouldn't have been able to do any of that. Whereas for Yuwen Yong, I feel so bad for him. He doesn't deserve the ending he got. He gave so much love for Yang Xuewu and he just ended up dying for her.
As the saying goes, Gao Wei is a fool for love, and Zheng Er is also a fool for love, only a fool and a fool are matched.

Another thing, that I would like to mention is that I have no idea if this show is trying to advertise The Untamed. There were a few scenes where they had mention The Untamed, for example one part, there was a carnival for the games, and there was cosplay for The Untamed, one that episode there were also character plushes.

This season wasn't as good as season one. Although it did have a storyline but I don't like Yuri. Yuri is basically a Nanno, she deals with what Nanno deals with but with different methods. I don't really like Yuri. I don't understand why Yuri wants to replace Nanno, literally, she can just go to a different school, and so things at a different school. As for the ending, it made no sense. Nanno is a girl from nowhere, yet she somehow dies. In many scenes and clips of the show, we see that Nanno gets killed various times, but why did Nanno die after the teacher killed her at the end. Yes, Yuri can be a replacement for Nanno, but I like how Nanno deals with things.I really hate Yuri, I think that Yuri should be grateful to Nanno because Nanno was the one who gave her a chance to live again. There needs to be a season 3, because there is no way on Earth, that Nanno died. I've seen Nanno get killed mulitple times, but every time she comes back to life. I want an explanation as to why that wound on her neck did not heal, and why she died.
