Longer please

So, I accidentally found the english subs in youtube so I decided to watch. I was at episode 4 when I get curious and googled it.

I am always a sucker for Jiro Wang - I mean, duh! I haven’t seen his drama for so long but I don’t regret watching this.

The story line is very entertaining. It didn’t mainly focus only on the love of ML and FL, if you’re here to watch only Jiro (like me) you’ll be a bit disappointed but his appearance will make up for it.

It focused totally on Consort Meng and people around her. This is a very refreshing drama compare to other costume drama that I’ve watched so far. It totally highlighted on how the emperor have so many wives and the life in the harem.

It was an eye opener to me tbh. But overall, this drama was really comedic. You can’t stop laughing in all of the episodes. They’ll have comedic scene here and there. The concubines are all super cute and funny too - being that they’re consorts for young emperor, most of them were said to be as young as 17 yo. But don’t worries, no illegal shit highlighted.

If you are in for a new kind of rom-com drama, this can be the one for you. It is very light, fluffy romance, unpredictable story line and every episodes does highlight different issues.

I saw few comments and reviewer that said this was supposed to aired for 45 eps but was cut to 36. To be honest, it shown.

**spoiler, please don’t read if you don’t want to**

However the ending was really, I feels like it was abruptly cut. I wish to see the emperor maybe grand marriage to our dear MengFei and make her the empress despite being she’s not the princess consort status.

Their love story is really refreshing, from please don’t love me to please don’t leave me, there was nothing to hate. The side story also is really good, the friendship in the harem - which is kind of unbelievable being that they all fight for one D but well, it’s really amazing how some of them enters the harem just to be ‘save’d.

I wish there will be special series to this to continue it until the real ending that we well deserves.
