Dragged out

I stand by my opinion after finishing the first season of this series: If this show did not have Zhao Lusi or Xiao Zhan, I probably would have dropped it a long time ago. The first season I might have made it through with the story that actually got intriguing, but the second season was just a mess. Truth is, they could have just extended the first season a few more episodes and told the rest of the story in less time rather than dragging the series out for another 21 episodes.

Fortunately, the episodes are short. I liked Fei Fei's character less in this last half of the series. Bei Tang Moran wasn't really present. Bei Tang Yi was still as boring as ever. The rest of the cast seemed like extras. The ending was rushed, and the music and audio and editing at times still felt slap dash.

Still, this was a nice series to pass the time, and one of the biggest ups about it is the positive female relationship between Fei Fei and Yanran--I loved these two together so much!

Overall, not a terrible series, but not a great one either. This series doesn't set out to be serious or meaningful, just entertaining and nonsensical, which is great for some laughs. I'd say enjoy the first season of 'Oh! My Emperor', but don't expect much from the second season.

And now my biased self will sit back and hope that the C-ent gods will grant my wish and put Lusi and Xiao Zhan in another series together as the main couple. I will forever be grateful.
