Tedious to watch feminist propaganda
Male characters have little to no redeeming qualities, portrayed as useful idiots at best. The female characters can do no wrong though! :Rolls eyes: Initially this show was refreshing, since in most Chinese period dramas the women scheme and hurt each other, but after a while the "girl power" thing gets old. A very tedious watch, I wanted to give up around episode 30... but after investing that much time, I figured I may as well finish. Overall it was just okay and it's not worth watching again. I'm not sure where all the great reviews are coming from.Was this review helpful to you?

Overall it was okay, watch with low expectations
This was somewhat enjoyable enough to watch (despite being strung together C-drama tropes) but I've just gotta say a few things. The acting was mostly pretty good, but I didn't really pick up on any chemistry between the leads. The ending "resolution" is one of the biggest BS moments and it's some of the laziest writing I've ever seen. I guess I'm glad it was a happy ending but it was such a cop out and I wish they had come up with better. Also the makeup on the main character made her look like a pothead, it was terrible looking (all red around the eyes) with what looked like spider legs for eyelashes. They seriously messed up her mascara. ?Was this review helpful to you?
