Slow to no progress, incredibly stupid decisions, so boring you HAVE to skip
Here is why I don't recommend;
1. FL has little depth to her acting, not horrible but I never believed her once.
2. The only convincing actors are ML and the bad guy, Yuwen Hu.
3. extremely boring in-between time.
4. No depth of romance.
5. FL seems to be older than the ML.
6. The Emperor is an idiot that had a million chances to kill the bad guy but the writers want us to empathize with his death.
7. The Second Queen was killed because she was foolish and should have simply casually taken the poisoned food as if to serve the emperor herself, this would have avoided suspicion but she bogarted the food and the spy killed her.
8. the Emperor couldn't even stand up for his first Queen and did nothing after she killed herself.
9. Pointless side drama with the main characters not "trusting" each other and suspecting the other of affairs, which did not tie in with the story whatsoever.
10. Main jealous female villain subsided unnaturally thus leaving the main female lead with no rival.
11. Bad guy is not defeated for a VERY long time even though there's a ridiculous amount of reasonable doubt and evidence.
12. FL has no motivation, gives up on her revenge immediately and becomes docile.
13. Emperor killshis enemies son but doesn't kill the main bad guy and what the eff for I couldn't tell you.
14. this is one of those dramas that only need 24 episodes but drags out so ridiculously slow that it's impossible to watch without skipping.
15. dropping this drama because I suspect their rise to power won't be until the very end and I started watching to see them rule not to watch them make outrageous oversights and bad decisions.
16. FL was trusted to save the seal (to call the army when bad guy rebels) secretly but gets caught because she's too stupid to hide it behind her back and has to trade the seal for her life.
17. no real excitement at all, just cliff hangers every 30 minutes.
18. WAYYYYYYYY too much talk about nothing and no action.
19. when there is action and war/fighting it usually ended up to be for no progress and scenes switch back to peaceful times as if war wasn't ensuing. bizarre.
20. Too many stupid decisions, I understand it's inspired by a true story but why write about something this disappointing?
21. Will never watch again and don't recommend to anyone.
