Well, Another Chinese Cinderella drama to its finest!!!
So Ima tell ya what I think about this drama. First off, I will definitely say its a Chinese adaptation of Cinderella. FL became lowest illegitament class daughter, gets plotted pick on by step mom and sister. Some light comedy romance but mostly serious politics and mainly Revenge/Love driven story. There are lots of happy tear moments and some Angst which no one really likes but dont let it turn you off. Moral of the story is, don't be a doush or payback is a bitch!!! I don't really like drama without happy endings but this is one of the few exceptions. It's a bittersweet happy ending at that. If you haven't seen it at this time of review, even in 2020, a 2016 drama of this is remarkable, I definetly enjoy most of it.Was this review helpful to you?

Excellent viewong
Just completed watching Princess Wei Young, another Mandarin costume drama. This time on Netflix. A 54 episodes series of an absolutely absorbing tale of love, treachery, sabotage, edge of the seat stuff. Excellent acting and chemistry of the two leads Luo Jin (dubbed the King of Cry by me from his role in Royal Nirvana) and Tiffany Tang. The two leads also eventually got married in real life ?. The wuxia scenes were also excellent ably supported by a stellar cast with some light hearted and heart warming scenes too. Costumes were exquisite. Background music was also enchanting.Was this review helpful to you?

This drama is definitely one of the best I've ever seen. The story is beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time. If you're looking for a strong female lead, a romantic, funny, yet serious male lead, and a villain that is so cunning you end up loving, then this is the drama you should head for. For people looking for a happy ending, I would say try this out but don't expect a "they lived happily ever after" type of ending, it is more of a bittersweet ending for me. My heart never seemed to rest and my tears wouldn't stop at some point but that was expected. Some things to talk about tho, the first few episodes are pretty boring, though maybe some people might find it important to the plot. But there are many things that didn't really sit well with me. In the story the main girl's name isn't actually weiyoung but they never really put any effort in revealing her real name, which you can only catch a little but at the beginning. Not only that, the main girl never seems to have a proper resting period before another problem is thrown at her.
The ending was pretty rushed but it still concluded in a semi rational way so I give it a pass. Overall I would recommend this to anyone because it really is a nice story.

The plot is well planned as some characters are not drawn from the real Northern Wei historic era, the fictional characters were well written and acted together with the non fictional Northern Wei characters, kudos to the story planners.
Costumes, props were all nicely done. Story was not draggy, for certain part of the story where higher authorities instructed for evidence gathering, evidence was gathered by the next second of the show and not dragged for the evidence to be shown only after 3-4 episodes, its really well done. This is the type of drama plot that most wanted to watch but seldom seen.
On the overall, i would strongly recommend this drama, you can do a short read up on Northern Wei history to know more about some characters that will appear in the show, on the other hand, without history base is perfectly fine, this drama is easy to understand with no hidden agenda and storyline is clean with no twist and turn for guessing and thinking. I did not give a perfect rewatch value as i feel there is no one who will rewatch a drama series unlike a movie which last around 1.5-3 hours. A drama series can last over 50 - 100 hours of screen time unless you are exceptionally bored or the drama cast involve your family, friends or idols. This drama is definitely worth watching.

....it’s Wei leng fault... give her holy water
All was Wei leng fault... please give her holy water to finally scatter bad luck and stop attracting all the bad people intentions around her.Brillant series and interprétations, a deluxe team of actors!
Some aspects:
1. The script could deserve extra considération, another approach on and a more expressed and veemente condamnation of domestic violence!
2. Also a higher percentage of more emancipated, educated women in the series would have been highly welcomed, despite the fact that during ages that WAS not the situation.;
3. And most woman are being protracted, all the time, as thesey, divisive, sordic, submissive and twisted beings.
Even if the overall objective is to add feelings, dynamisme, to facilitates a commercial drama plot, Its extent might be going a bit too far.
ALL the above said: Prince Ann is by far the most interesting character! Deserved a better script development, a true opportunity, to blossom despite ALL the adversities.
Even if this is a historical drama, it is also a fictional drama. Therefore why not enrich it by adding some other parfums. Ex. At a given moment situations become recurrent if not repetitive. For almost 40;episodes there is the over presence of our Heroine being accused of all that went Rong in both heavens and earth, with a significant part taking place in the manor and on the prison and on palace laundry department....
with all the above said, i did enjoy, the story, the plot and all the actors. Good entertainment!

A revenge plot like any other that revolves around the royals and nobles. I'd say I loved the story.
There were loads of repetitive plots that involves palace/family conspiracies and hence the reduction of rating for the story. They were really repetitive, especially when the conspiracies thought of by the female villains was really simple and unentertaining. However, it fully showed how remarkable the female lead was. How smart, fierce and strong she was. And it was really gratifying to see how Princess WY turns the tables against the ones who framed her. She is kind, but once a villain goes over her limits, she doesn't forgive. She is not the usual lead who is all about justice and leave her villains alone so that they could harm her over and over again. (Although some still do, because they have a "huge life" (a direct translation of 'ming da' which means that they are lucky enough to not die easily in chinese)
The love lines was really cute and I really enjoyed the interactions between the two leads. Especially so when I know they are dating irl. I ship them so bad.
Acting:
In my opinion the acting in episode 1 was so bad. I couldn't tolerate it and dropped the drama straight away. Only to come back because of the main leads who ended up dating irl, cause I was just so curious about the male lead who succeeded in getting pretty Tang Yan as his girlfriend.
The 1st episode feels a little awkward, a little pretentious, maybe because I had no idea what was going on.
But I'm glad I gave the next episode a chance, and I got hooked.
The chemistry between the 2 leads was really good. The crying scenes, anger scenes were so good it got me hooked. I cried withe the characters, I felt sad when they were sad and happy when they were. I'd say their acting deserves a good rating. I had all sorts of emotions when I watched it, my mood went up and down along with it.
But there were a few supporting actors with awkward acting. Hence the reduction in rating. (One of them would be Cheng De (Tuoba Jun's follower), who I found his facial expressions to be really awkward.)
Music:
I did enjoy the bgm, opening and ending songs but did not really pay much attention to it.
Rewatch:
Overall this was a really good and intelligent drama. I rewatched it myself becuase the romance scenes were worth the time.
Of course there were still flaws and loopholes in the story like any other, but I'll overlook them because the story itself was still amazing.

Intriguing
Wow this is first time i so enjoyed a drama of this many episodes,I so loved the pace of this drama it literally kept you watching and intriguing. The story line was a bit different and the characters were nothing much but exceptional, they played they part so well.
It had everything in it love, hate, vengeance, greed, revenge, you name it this drama delivered. The setting was really good and the way they loved stood the test of time and every single difficult moment together.
I did find it a bit annoying that no matter how much trouble the sisters went through to get rid of weiyoung yhey failed bit somehow they so blinded by they own greed that could not accept they wrongdoing.
Although the ending was not what I expected. She did come out stronger than ever.
Overall a good watch and well paced, no dragging or reapting of dialogues.

Binged it in 3 days!
I'm not really into historical dramas but after watching Eternal love and The eternal love I decided to give more historical dramas a chance since those two were really good, and I'm extremely glad I did. This drama had me roped in from episode one. It was addictive. It does, however, have a lot of political stuff which basically dictates everything but that just adds in to make it that much greater. I would definitely recommend especially if you're new to the historical drama genre. Be warned however that there are a lot of downs but still not extremely depressing.I enjoyed every character...even the evil ones that at times I even found myself rooting for them because in some ways they were relatable lol. I only cried twice. Happy watching!
