All these years have passed I still come back to rewatching this drama over and over again. I just love it, it's still very mesmerizing to watch even though I know what will happen and can practically remember the lines.  The story, the music and the cast were all A+ in my books and I would recommend this to everyone. The main characters just had so much charisma and chemistry with each other that made this series that much better to be watching. You would be laughing with them or crying with them as you watch how their lives turn out. It really is a top notch series.

I don't watch a lot of Japanese Dramas to be honest and I had watched the Taiwanese version of this story before landing on this one to watch. I loved both in their own way. I felt that there is something that the Japanese drama can do when transferring a manga into a live action drama that other places just can't. There was this sweetness and certain cultural aspects was just different when it's done in Japan and doesn't really translate to a different country.
I loved the interaction between the main characters and the family. Even though it was a drama it still maintained the cuteness and sweetness of a manga series.

I loved this one much more than the first season. This is super rare for me I usually love the original so much more than the second season. This was very different I felt that there was more going on in this series than the first and there was more about the characters that you could learn about. There is a lot of rewatch value in this series, I always felt different about the characters each time that I had watched them. I loved how they went through with this second series where there was a deeper dive into the story for each of the characters and it still kept my interest.

This has been one of the most moving story's that I've watched in a long time. This was based on a real story. There was such chemistry between the two main characters that brought the realness of the storyline. There were sentences in the show that was taken straight from the book itself which was a huge impact for me.
Following Aya through her journey of the sickness was such a heartbreaking thing to be watching. But it was so well done that I would recommend just watching it just once at least. It made me so grateful for what I have now and really think about life that I'm living.

This story revolved around the main Qing hu foxes. Each of the main characters had their own storyline and their own few episodes. It was interesting to see how each of their lives played out but after a few episodes I felt that the entire drama was a bit of a waste of time. The stories weren't very engaging or even interesting I felt like that the writers sort of just gave up writing a good story and started repeating things a little.
I wouldn't really want to watch the full series but I stuck it out. I feel like you only really need to watch the first few episodes and the last few episodes and just skip the middle part entirely!

This story was so touching, sweet and romantic. It was well done and it really showed us what true love was like. What happened to the characters was so touching and realistic that this series has really touched my heart. I loved watching Vic Zhou on screen ever since I saw him on Meteor Garden but since then he's gotten better and better at his acting skills. With this touching story was loved watching it all the cast had done a great job at this. Even the supporting actors we fabulous. I would rewatch this again but I would really need to be in the right mood. If you haven't seen this before I suggest you give it a go.

A series that makes you keep reliving the different aspects of the drama over and over again while listening to the songs. After watching this series like a good book I didn't know what to do with myself, just kept on thinking of everything that I've just watched. I loved the characters and fell in love with the 4th prince immediately. Loved 13th Prince's attitude and 14th Prince's loyalty. I did for a little while like 8th Prince and how he was but the longer that I watched the more annoying he became. I felt that towards the end some of the things that he did really was quite cruel. This series really tugged on the heartstrings and made me cry for most of it.

First things first do not compare this to the old one! I can promise you that you won't enjoy it as much! I've seen and loved the old one and it's given me so many memories. However, I approached this series with a new set of eyes and I loved it! I loved all the acting and the new take on the books. I loved the cast, they were energetic and played the characters well. The series was a bit long in my opinion and my interest did start to wane a bit toward the end but the story and the things that happened in the series didn't get old at all. There was always something new to focus on for me to continue to watch. I would highly recommend watching this.

I absolutely love Jimmy Lin, he always looks so happy and I've been following him since I was quite young. This series was well done in it's acting, plot and music. I felt that this series borderlined realistic and unrealistic very well. Not a lot of drama do that well. A lot of the details that had happened during the series were quite realistic but they also used some of the unrealistic ideas to make dreams come true.
I also loved the music, I think what makes a good drama is the good balance between the music, acting and plot. And this series has all 3 in spades.

So I stumbled upon this on netflix after watching a few really good crime shows and still wanted a fix. So I started watching this one.  So the acting wasn't all that great but I liked that they weren't afraid to be bad they just went with it. The cases were pretty predictable and the fight scenes were pretty bad to the point that this series was just entertaining to watch. I don't think that I would be watching this again but it was pretty hilarious to be watching the first time around. Some of the cases were interesting to watch and they did want to play the psychological crime drama and they got some of it right. It was fun to watch.

I love watching historical dramas and this has fast becoming one of my favourite series to go back to watch over and over again. This is a little long so make sure that you have plenty of time to watch this. The cast selection was amazing! I fell in love with the hair, makeup and costume design immediately. There had been so much detail in creating each of the concubine's look throughout the series especially when they gotten promoted or demoted. There was such a difference.
I was hooked from the first episode onwards, the series is very engaging and I loved the music that accompanied the romantic parts.
Each of the cast members had done such a great job in portraying their characters and brought them all to life. The politics between the women were so real and sometimes cruel was facinating to watch. I would highly recommend watching this if you are interested in palace and historical dramas.
