My first reason to watch this series is because of the Ml. I've seen his acting in many dramas and he executes very well. He has the eyes that delivers the message and acts well as a villain or as a compassionate hero. He also handles romantic scenes well. The plot of this drama is also good - revenge, arranged marriage with love to come much later when couple learns to trust each other and tribulations with warring states. The other characters in the series are all interesting too. My only one deterrent is the FL - her acting still needs improvement especially when the rest of the cast are pretty good. She always look like a bunny caught in headlights with mouth opened. I realize that's the look she often portrays in the series. But I'm glad the character she plays is smart and somewhat sassy. Otherwise, it would have been hard for me to give a 9 rating.

Overall, it is enjoyable. Their chemistry is strong and cute.

Not only main lead actors but also supporting actors are have chemistry each other. The plot is engaging and fast-forward.

Both Main lead actor and actress are good in acting. I did not watch Liu Yu Ning's acting before. He acts really well, although he is not the best..

This is not masterpiece scripts but it will be all-time favourite drama in my list.

I enjoyed and loved overall plots which is really engaging. Their romance plot is slow-burn romance.

Mainly, I love leading actor and actress big cute sweet chemistry and cute height difference !!! I want more romantic scenes in the finale :)😆😆😆

Now I like both leading actor and actress. I am looking forward their upcoming project.

I think if you are new into chinese drama esp one in classic costume and you are a girl who all about sweet romance and romantic comedy, than The prisoner of Beauty is the perfect started pack!

It seems dark or serious during 1-2 episode but it's turn into more romantic comedy and family & friendship bonding with further episode. You don't need to think hard and just enjoy the flow of this drama and have fun and yes smiling all along. Yes since its costume drama of course there gonna be some up and down but overall it's a sweet historical romantic comedy to warm you with face and laugh out loud.

The Prisoner of Beauty is more than just a historical romance - it's a deeply emotional journey brought to life by two outstanding lead actors whose chemistry is undeniable and unforgettable.

From the very beginning, the love story between the leads pulled me in. It wasn't a typical fairy-tale romance. Their connection was built slowly, with layers of pain, trust, longing, and sacrifice. Both actors delivered performances that felt raw and real. You could feel every silent glance, every hesitation, every moment of tenderness and heartbreak.

The female lead was both delicate and powerful. She carried the weight of her beauty like a burden and gave depth to her character through subtle emotion and fierce resilience. The male lead was equally brilliant - torn between duty and desire, his quiet strength and protectiveness made his character incredibly compelling.

Together, they created a love story that felt timeless. Their growth, both individually and as a couple, was what made the drama so emotionally satisfying. You root for them not just because they're in love, but because their love feels earned, real, and transformative.

This drama is a masterpiece. I finished it in 3 days. Stayed up. The last few episodes made me cry so hard. Too many surprises and too much emotion. Romance, comedy, tragedy and war. When i first started i thought i would give up somewhere (considering giving up on drama was normal for me). But this drama never fail to bring me to next episodes. Climax after climax.

I love how all the characters with their wisdoms in whatever they're doing. The way they interact with each other feels real and so close. And, of course, the chemistry between Nan Jun and Nv Jun, and all the other characters that made this story so alive. Zhe yao.
