The reason why I gave this drama a low review is not because it is bad, actually was pretty good drama that kept me watching till the end, but it had many moments, particularly at the ending episodes which made it make no sense whatsoever. Stay with me on this, let's first see the good parts:
GOOD:
1. Every single actor and actress perfected their role. 10/10 on acting.
2. Very catchy story, especially for a historical drama, and it's beautiful how they focused the story on more than one character.
3. The main actress portrayed a very strong main role, which was rather amazing and had me always cheering for her.
4. It was thrilling enough to keep me watching till the end, the plot twists kept it running.
NOW here's why even though it has all these good points it yet did not score high, the bad parts:
BAD:
1. Though I enjoyed the plot twists, they were TOO MUCH, too much to the fact that it started ruining the story at the end. It felt like as if the directors and writers desired and valued a storyline with full plot twists and little to no emotional sense to the watcher whatsoever.
2. Some scenes were pathetically annoying in terms of weak spoiled characters, even though the actors themselves acted very well, their roles themselves were annoying. For example, the Emperor or the Dowager, just because they had power they were given a loooooong ass story that just dragged over and over.
3. This proves point 2. there was little character development. I wished that people in this drama would learn from their mistakes to act differently in later episodes.
4. There was little to no emotional sense given to the watcher.
5. Wtf is this ending, explained but rushed, and gave little to no credit to the last characters that deserved it!!
In conclusion, I get that this is meant to be a historical, tragic drama, but they went waaaay overboard with this tragic theme which lowered my rating.
