FOR A SHORT DRAMA of 10 minutes od episodes, this was good. Actors and actresses did their best with acting, costumes are nice. For it's category it really is nice one. Tbh i liked the vibe of first 2 eps, if they could remain that, it could be better ahahha. Ofc it has lots of lackings or plot holes but this is a short drama to pass time, so totally okay!
I watched cuz plot sounded interesting and ML is a an actor i find handsome . I enjoyed the cinematography and…
but it is my own notion and it depends on what you expect. If i really got stuck with the emotions i also tend to ignore non-logicak parts but couldn't built much bond with this series. I would still recommend it tho as it has different elements from the other dramas rn.
I watched cuz plot sounded interesting and ML is a an actor i find handsome . I enjoyed the cinematography and soundtracks. Costumes are also interesting and pretty..But it was really hard for me to finish it. I like strong female characters and as the female lead was pro at martial arts i thought i could like it but it didnt happen unfortunately. Not because of acting but for how she was written. They just say her dad teaches her and she is the best from begging and the first battles she participates she kills the leaders rather easily. Instead of unrealistic muscle strength and fight skill it would be better to write on her brain. If she wasn't the fl she wouldn't survive much or cause problems for everyone lol. But as i said it was the problem with how she was written. This kinda happens with other characters too. Even tho i really enjoyed the variety of different characters, sometimes they were interesting but sometimes just empty shells with flawed/shallow setups. But i still appreciate how they had interesting characters. And the tension between characters, the intimacy level, that was the best. Even if i didn't felt the chemistry sometimes that kiss scenes were definitely the best. I want to see more of this kind series in the future. I probably won't rewatch this one as it was not that good for me, but
This is a fresh drama for me as i generally don't watch wuxia and fantasy. I liked how the two FL are assassins and kind of capable and badass. BUT UNFORTUNATELY i didn't like the main couple, i didn't feel anything watching them and i skipped their scenes in last eps, but the chemistry between second leads were exactly my cup of thing. I waited for their scenes every eps lol.Also i was always team Gong Shangjue from ep 1 to last. I didn't like power up kind of things that they tried to convince ML is better. I also DIDN'T LIKE the ending. This drama has flaws I admit it, but overall it was a good experience, i liked the dark atmosphere. but if you want a solid answer to your questions and a solid final this won't be your thing.
I wasn't able to finish PoB tbh. I stopped on episode 17/18 and couldn't bring myself to finish. But I'm watching…
Okeyy i also enjoy enemies to lovers trope a lot, it is on mu watch list, maybe i will also start it after i clean some of my watchlist lol. Rn im watching my journey to you:))

Yea it is understandable, i also passed some scenes. Sometimes when u can't convince ur brain, ur heart also leaves the screen 😂 They recommend fated hearts a lot, in what aspects do u guys recommend that show? Is it realistic, logical, conveys feelings right way, less misunderstanding and please tell me it is not just a lovey dovey, i need things to get serious. If u have more recommendations im listening😁
I really liked the communication between main leads and their dialogues. And it was really nice to see their relationship develop over time.It wasn't love at first sight and they didn't actually trust each other until the half of drama. So it made their relationship deeper and realistic. BUT i can't say it for the rest of the drama. The other characters and most of the plot weren't deep in my opinion. I think it's a general problem for chinese dramas, they don't make it convincing. They say it is gonna happen like it, reason is this, believe and feel it, move to next scene. So i wouldn't rate it this high but considering the pool, it is one of the good ones for sure, i also enjoyed the cinematography. I knew the male lead but i watched first time the female lead, i liked her acting and relay of emotions 🤩
11 years later and here I am again. I wish they will start doing dramas like this again. Empress ki is the last…
yea same, it is almost 10 years for me as well. It has a big place in my heart. Also we have the same pp lol ( i have it from the moment i enrolled this app lol )
For the ones watching from Youtube, the ending is not translated. I found from another website
According to historical records: In the ninth year of the First Emperor's reign, the King of Qin suppressed Lao Ai's rebellion and moved the Empress Dowager to Yong City. The next year, he dismissed Prime Minister Lü Buwei.When Mao Jiao of Qi convinced the King of Qin,the King went to Yong City to welcome the Empress Dowager back to Xianyang.As for Marquis Wen Xin, he lived in Henan. (Lü Buwei was later ennobled as Marquis Wen Xin)For his remaining years, he was filled with anxiety and fearful of being put to death,and became an alcoholic which led to his eventual death.In the nineteenth year of the First Emperor's reign, the Empress Dowager passed away.She was conferred the posthumous title of Imperial Empress Mother.She was buried together with King Zhuangxiang in Zhiyang.
Just finished watching this classic historical cdrama a 2nd time. Enjoyed the drama but asking if a helpful viewer…

The annoying thing is they always put the watcher in a position of a stupid person as they say something and want us to believe it without thinking, most Chinese dramas are like this. They say 'it is like this' and everyone is 'yeah yeah , true true' even if it makes zero sense... Cus of it first half of the drama was hard to watch sometimes. After getting used to it, u slowly bond with characters.
Actually i couldn't bring myself to hate any of the female characters whatever villain or not. Cuz i could understand them. I appreciate the intension but execution was kinda poor. Characters were deep but they couldn't present it well, espicially Princess Ya of Zhou, she actually is a very interesting character. Queen Zhao also catch my attention. I liked how there wasn't even one 'white' character. All of them are gray, just the shades are different, including our main leads. Three of them has ambitions and can do some not very pure things for that. But what did they gain is questionable. Their loses was more and that makes it realistic in some way. Qin arc is a lot different and more logical than Zhao Arc i think. But even if the caharacters didn't die, they were not the same ones inside. I couldn't look , love and hate the same way.
Btw, warning, this is not a soft drama and there are plenty deaths so be aware. And i wouldn's say it is romantic as well. Ending also kinda realistic. As someone who really enjoys female leads taking control, gaining political power etc when watching this, instead of dreaming myself with that power i prefered for it to be a countyside life of a farmer. So this doesn't have the satisfacory elements of women power/rank rising like in Empress Ki, couldn't feel the victory. This one was more of a suffering i believe.
Overall! Not a perfect one maybe but seeing some shty ones getting rated so high i believe this deserves more. For the ones hesitating, it is worth to give it a try. Even if just for the excellent costumes and cinematography u shall try it. Sometimes acting is more like u are in the theatre but not that bad, Lu Bu Wei 's acting felt better among them. Talked a lot and hope didnt spoil much lol.
So i watched the first part, i kind of enjoyed it. Cinemtography was nice and there were moments that felt like real. I espicially enjoyed the family, mother daughter moments which were realistic. Also FL's romantic situations were interesting yet understandable. Still im not so sure to continue. What will they focus on this season? Will the FL continue to be smart? Were u guys satisfied with this part 2? Does FL gets disappointed with ML?
I watched 4 episodes and the FL is so childish and is already annoying me. Does she have a character development…
She and her family will continue to be annoying for awhile but dont worry they have character development and they kind of grow on you. I hated the show at first and now im here for it every year lol.
