This was a really good xianxia drama. The story and actors were interesting and fun.. Even at the length of 40 episodes, it kept me entertained all the way through. I already liked the actors from other dramas and they didn’t disappoint. I can’t wait to see more of their upcoming shows. I watched this on Viki and I have to say that I am Very much impressed And pleased that they finally waited until after the last episode to show all their credits. I really appreciated that. Thank you. The translations were very well done.
Cute drama. I watched it years ago and felt the same. It’s short and it was fun to watch again. The only disappointment for me is that I watched it on Viki, and they are still ruining the last episode of all their dramas by displaying Subtitle credits across the screen (also throughout the show) and ruining the mood of the endings because it is very distracting. It doesn’t look like they are ever going to change, so every chance I get I watch it on a different channel/streaming service if possible (even though I have a paid subscription). Sorry to say, but it’s true.
Is this the only KDrama with this many stars? A majority of the supporting cast are Lead Actors themselves.So…
“The Heirs” kdrama is so seriously underrated. I’ve re-watched it several times and it is one of my favorite dramas. The plot and all the actors are excellent. I highly recommend watching this the first chance you get—Enjoy and take care!
It was very hard for me to get through the first two episodes, but then it got better. I thought the idea of superstar celebrity instructors was hilarious. The actors were good, but the scenes felt a bit forced. And there is something off about the main characters— I felt almost no chemistry. The storyline was a bit too extreme between crazy managers and abused workers and all the revenge. (I did like the part where he meets the family.) The filming and scenery were good and I liked the music, but I probably won’t re-watch. i feel like it’s a little overrated but I gave it 8.0.
I started watching the first few episodes while not sure what to expect. I soon found myself mesmerized. This feels almost epic. Everything about “The Long River” was excellent. The story, the really talented actors, the costumes, scenery, music—it was all done so well. The main leads were truly outstanding. I just finished 40 episodes but I want to go back and start it again because I know how much I’m going to miss it. I am shocked that there are so few viewers and it deserves a much higher rating. (I gave it a 10 /10.) I highly recommend this drama and hope that many more people will get to see it. Maybe it will get more attention on YouTube than Viki. I love romance and that’s usually what I look for, but I took a chance on this one and it was well worth it. I highly recommend that you watch it now if you’re looking for a new drama that you won’t be able to resist. PS While there is no romance, there is a very strong woman in the story and she does a remarkable job portraying her character!
I love historical dramas and several of them are mentioned in these comments. I also loved Yanxi Palace. But I have started watching this one (Ruyi’s Royal Love in the Palace) at least twice and I have not been able to get very far. 87 episodes does not phase me, but I am not sure I can take the angst of so many concubines backstabbing and fighting with each other and all for a stupid pampered emperor who is not worth it. For me, there has to be something like morally strong characters and an overall uplifting story to make it worth my time. Every now and then I think about trying to watch it again—maybe I’m missing something. Perhaps I’ll make it further if I try again.?
