Jin xiu Wei Yang

Loved this show but don't understand why they try and pass girls as men. Breast are hard to hide and voices are feminine... good family show.

I enjoyed the cheeky interplay between several of the characters...love everything about the settings and that genre. What a bonus to be able to brush up on my Mandarin. Netflix rocks with the subtitles .

After ending the series I kind of felt like I've watched a super long chinese version of Romeo and Juliet. So yes, the plot isn't new and the amount of times the female lead gets framed or is in danger is kind of ridiculous. BUT: that doesn't really matter. My heart won over my mind. I was CONSUMED by this series. The acting is great, the chemistry between several of the series' couples is indescribable and you go through every emotion possible: frustration, happiness, sadness, devastation... you name it, this series delivers.

Conclusion: is this a rationally good series? Nope, but if you need shows that are emotional as hell, then this is definitely the one for you.

This is the first Chinese drama I've watched and I'm hooked! The production is epic. The love story is utterly mesmerizing and the leads, Tiffany Tang and Luo Jin, are sensational in looks, acting chops and chemistry. The palace intrigues are riveting and the intelligence of Weiyong as she tries to prevail over her enemies' nefarious schemes is exciting to watch.

What else can you say about this love story, but compelling, I literally binged watched this for only a few days. I never have cried, laughed and was gripped to the edge of my seat. Loved the actors, scenes, cinematography was exquisite and the historical outfits. It was like reading an amazing novel and you could not put it down. I LOVED IT, so sad it is finished.
