High expectations…How will it turn out?

I was hooked from the start, but near end it started losing me, i started skipping. Maybe because of too many politics?
But then after few episode it again picked me up until the very end stayed strong =p
——-

Big Talks, all action, Zero result (Result at the very end, when everything resolves)very repetitive…Yet interesting show, with smart-manipulative characters, great ending

Thats the main problem with this show…Everyone is plotting against each other, yet it never moves. The whole drama is never ending plotting, until the very last episodes where finally everything resolves. But i should appreciate it, after all this is the first drama with truly extra-interesting characters. There is no hero, neither there is villain (well there is, but more like morally grey characters, that are truly interesting). That’s why i love this series. I loved the most Deng Yi and Xie talkings, it was very interesting too see them manipulate each other.All characters are like human being, they have their “wants”, but doesnt they get tired from all this “drama”…?

Even tho the show is very fast-paced until the last few episodes, mostly in the middle of the drama it frels that its too repetetive.
Advantages: “Fast-paced” “interesting politics” “interesting characters” “visual” “no annoying characters”

Loved Chen du ling in here, she suits the look of grand Empress, looks majestic in red and green! Also the small emperor acting is very good! He will grow up being amazing actor! ML make up is very beautiful!
Also all support roles acting is so good! Mostly Xie Yan Fang 🪭

Final rating: 8 =>
