Romance drama!

*This drama is full on ROMANCE, even the comedy is lacking and I can’t compare to Korean drama because this one doesn’t even has the same atmospheric tone like Korean drama, in KDrama where’s there Romance, there’s also a top-notch extra-bonus for the audience to enjoy, this one…. I don’t see, but CDrama can really do well when it comes to historical romance.
* I only watch this drama because of the casting of Zen Li and Zhao Lusi collaborate again after LOVE LIKE THE GALAXY drama (also mother-daughter character) plus Zen Li so gorgeous (too bad her appearance in the drama so little to be seen), I love her… apart from that I’m not a fan of a teenage girl and a mid-20s guy love story…
* Zhao Lu Si star power worth every shot of her acting while Chen Zhe Yuan still lacking his skill especially emotional moments.
* it’s a very intimate relationship between a 19years old girl and a 26 years old guy already sound very fishy but totally popular in today’s society (also in the drama he’s 24 when he started having feelings for FL who is 17years)
*The death of his mother was not shown (only tell)
*The ML relationship with Jiang Ying was never shown what really happened between them that made the result that she attached to him, as we can see in the flash back she hate and despise him then what’s give?
* The small envelope the FL insert inside his wallet was never mentioned nor shown again
* The plot/storyline so realistic and relatable indeed but the only thing that’s so exaggerate and very unrealistic was the fact that the FL instantly became very matured & responsible when she became 19years old with a mind of a 30 years old woman, she maybe change because of ML charismatic, kind, humble and modesty character but do you really think a spoiled girl from a rich family can easily change because of love? that’s fairy tale story but anyway it’s a C-drama so what’s not impossible.
*The supporting characters (ML/FL friends) was only there as an extended part or to helped moved the plot forward in the drama apart from that it seems no one cares what’s going on in their decision moment & their development in life, they are like NPC (just like the ML gaming job LOL).

In conclusion, this drama worth watching it, it shows that Love can happen to anyone doesn't matter how old are you and it can make a person so crazy especially in decision making and confidence.

Wonderful drama indeed

First of all this is the first time i'm watching Korean drama (1 hr per eps.) with 50+ episodes, i usually watch
Chinese drama i.e. 40-50 episodes (50 min per eps.), i found out that Kdrama that long will not
inspired me to watch another 30 to 40+ episodes in the future, i'll stop eatching long episodes kdrama
completely because from what i know it's that 2013-14 where producing drama that stream straight online
isn't a thing yet so they produce solely for television purposes (Nation wide & selected countries TV network),
the longer the episodes the more the story gets extended. EMPRESS KI is based from real life person but it only
adapted as a structure to create the theme of the plot since EMPRESS KI story lack details during that time about her
life and mostly mythical stories. Thats the reason this drama got a chance to extend the twisting storyline for the
audiences, there's many unexplain miracle that happened dramatically just for the sake of entertainment. NGL this drama
worth my time, EMPRESS KI/NYANG is well written character, WANG YO was the most perfect character and the weak EMPEROR,
NYANG & WANG YO is the perfect couple but not per-fate couple, NYAN want to help WANG YO to get back his
throne and defeat the old regent villain at the palace but little did she know her decisionback fired on her, she got her baby then thought
it died from falling and found out later soon he died from poison arrow, now that's a depress for NYANG & WANG YO
... EMPEROR is the most pathetic character in the drama, he maybe smart for like 8% in his screentime but 92%, he's a
silly, stupid, childish, cowardly man ever. BATOLU/YON love WANG YO only one-sided which is very sad. Also spoiler alert, everyone dies
in the drama and only NYAN herself was there. even though i liek WANG YO character but the death of EMPEROR was definitely too sad.
The drama synopsis explain that NYAN true love is EMPEROR... which is partially wrong. She admired WANG YO but soon she like him romantically
whereas She only want to be close to EMPEROR because she want to become EMPRESS to avenge those who killed her
love ones and to save her homeland nothing more nothing less, of course she did care, norture, respect & trust him but not love him passionately, we
only see she truly love him when WANG YO died and she move on and then the moment she reveal her love to EMPEROR
he died peacefully.

Mostly Masterpiece but not Perfect drama

One of the best historical drama when it comes to director vision, fight sequences & the production set design, Ep. 1-27 = it's well written and very enetertaining, Ep. 28-53= deserve high praised indeed from its twist & turns storyline, Ep.54-56= it seems the series want to end so badly its just jump from one sequences to another, very ridiculous.
*A pregnant character in labor fall inside a trap, climb very fast & flew on the floor from the huge explosion... it never mention whether her baby is ok or not.
*ZiSheng got to climb out from the trap but his leg got held by a woman, he didn't kick nor try to get out, he just freeze & the huge explosion explode inside but he's fine not a scratch and he just explain in words? thats just silly.
*After all what happened above, Zisheng still got time to save the third prince on time even though it took so much time when he stuck inside a trap, as we see that Lou Yao search for a doctor (because of his pregnant wife in labor) till night during rain, later he's not to be seen again.

Zhao & Leo were co-star (Zhao as 2nd Female Lead & Leo as 1st Lead) in The Long Ballad (2017) and their kissing scenes with their respective partners wasn't shown at all, maybe because of director decision

Anyway, worth to watch it indeed

More like a Stage Drama than a Cinematic Drama

After she go to another alternate timeline I find this drama to be worth watching before that it's so random & have no context at all. All the characters have more than one objective to achieve, it's so complex & full of unanswered questions. VFX so cheesy maybe low budget & the over use of wire work seems so unprepared became so funny. Some fight scenes are well done but mostly just ridiculous. I watched this series because Liu shi shi starred in it. It's a good drama but I can't watch it twice. What i praise about this was portrayal of Loyalty, Betrayal, Loneliness, Revenge, Hypocrite, Brotherhood, Family relationship, Responsibility, Greedy, Narcissistic & Love.

It's a Good Drama but not THE BEST

First thing first, for those who watch this drama because they expect a romantic theme from early episodes, they should wait and be patient. I’m one of those viewers who watch for the genre and it surprise me big time, from episode 1-24, there’s no romance between the ML & FL whatsoever, they maybe respect one another but as a teacher student nothing more than that… It’s all about Political conflicts of the characters background Xue – Yan & endless conspiracies among them, during these episodes it’s infuriates me ‘cuz the ML is a very smart and calm character but the FL so rebellious & overconfidence (though she’s a goddamn villain but she seem to be getting restart like a game, go back to the checkpoint from the beginning before she make herself a bonafide villain). However Episodes 25-31, it’s getting interesting, I’m totally hooked inside the story even though the Romantic part still in progress there’s no result yet. Then from Episode 32 (which clearly reveal the ML intention i.e romantic decision towards FL definitely well written)and the rest is history.
The ML became so fragile and abnormal in the 30+ Episodes.
The Emperor is a dumb idiot character, he clearly knew that his cousin (his Xue Uncle daughter) was a pathetic btch he still slept with her when she use her cheap seduce trick which she became his another harem wife, seems like he mistakenly think with his balls not brain.
When FL run to the army base camp of yan and convice the soldiers general that she’s a friend of Yan Lin and they believe her like that… that doesn’t make sense.
I like all the characters that the ML considered as friends, they are funny & loyal.
From the original poster of this drama it’s already shows that the ML & FL won’t be close or have romantic feelings to one another that soon, it takes time and yes KUNNING PALACE is full of CUNNING people indeed.
This drama has a new style of storytelling, it seems like Bai Lu character goes back through time but it’s not because its only a story inside a novel which is totally fiction and her character in the story goes back through time to her previous self or reincarnation for a second chance. Anyway it’s a good drama but boy from Ep. 01-24 imo its to dull and slow burn, it’s always argument and all that.
Even though Bai Lu was her stage name, in an Episode where her character was framed, the main items in the scenes was all about the ‘Bai Lu’ paper (types of premium paper use specifically inside Royal Palace)…. her own stage name just pops-up in a dialogue.

It's totally a mediocre drama even though it has some redeeming quality

This drama was released during the early 2010s so its in the era where drama was so exaggerated. This type of drama started fading away in the 2016 above, from it's quality to budget. 'I need Romance 3' is the one drama that I'm not a fan of, the story/plot and the characters development so ridiculously made. This are my opinion but maybe because I haven't had any relationship irl even once also that's why i don't understand much, this drama always about the break-up, the relationship of a boyfriend-girlfriend and about the meaning of love and trust. The only thing why I watch this drama was because I'm a fan of Kim So Yeon, she's one of the top 5 most attractive, beautiful and strong actresses I've ever seen, just wow! Her character in the drama definitely not my cup of tea, yes I find her cute and adorable but that's it, the ML ... he the only character that has redeeming quality but others some are average and some so badly written it's confusing. Also I'm a little underwhelming with their using of western formula i.e. alot and lots of kissing scenes, it's not just a normal kiss but boy it's RAW and JUICY like french-kiss style (it's rare to see such kdrama). All the characters who's appeared has alot of their kissing screentime even the FL had kisses 3 guys, a very rare for me to see a FL to not only get to kiss the ML but the 2nd ML and the supporting character. 2nd ML played by Nam Koong Min, one of my fav actor but I don't like how they write his character in this, sometimes he's honest and reasonable guy but most of the time he act like a goddamn cunning fox. But the way this drama indicates the FL personality related too much irl for a person to be like that, which is a good part in the drama. The love interest of the FL's close friend also steals many scenes, his character has little screening time but he did delivered comedy really well. Meanwhile the two employees characters arc bored me, I don't like them, one scene the female employee cheat on her boyfriend but this drama shows it as a comedy?! What kind of logic is that? That's just bad attempt to do it. Before 2015, kdrama really strange but I'm sure at that time was what viewers demand, I've watched couple of rom-com release pre-2015 before watching this and this drama has more ridiculous in it, if it has action or psychological thriller then it even has better quality than the post-2016 kdrama. The remake of this drama in chinese titled MY FATED BOY was vastly better than this, because they have more episodes and more focussing on ML trying his best to get together with the FL who's a matured woman with some minor changes like The parents was there to witness and childhood storyline was explained even better, however 'INR3' is like an ensemble casts, everyone matters, even they didn't fully focus on the ML but instead on the supporting characters too, also FL definitely not mature, she's a workaholic and always criticize unreasonably whenever or whatever she wants and when it comes to emotions, she's like a robot... But all that changes in the very later episodes when ML always interfere in her life.
