The Legendary Life of Queen Lau

This drama is highly recommended for those who are looking for a light and sweet drama. The story is very simple, about an arranged marriage between a young handsome emperor and the average looking but pure hearted daughter of seemly a scheming grand Chancellor. The two was in odds with each other at first but eventually they fell in love.

Despite of the low budget, this series is very entertaining because of the lightness. I'm very enjoying it.

I really wanted to love it and I had high expectations but I don't think the high ratings are justified.

Its a lighthearted show but quite predictable, simple plots and the characters are flat and basic.

I was expecting a more complex script but the writing is just not there.

I feel like this story if it was made like a normal drama instead a comedy would have had a lot of potential, but I feel like they used every cliché plot in the book to make a likeable relatable storyline work, and it just didn't do it for me, I couldn't feel any spark or chemistry between the leads.

Editing is a bit messy as well with hole scenes completely wiped out from episodes, an only the aftermath is discussed in later scenes.

Overall I if you want to pass your time without something simple and lighthearted with a weak plot, this is for you.

"THE LEGENDARY LIFE OF QUEEN LAU" is fun, cute, inspiring...and also has tads of romance and suspense! JACKIE LI solidly nails the role of Liu Jin Feng and LI HONG YI is the perfect...yes perfect...male lead for this CCD because it's all about HIM getting who HE NEEDS...not who he wants.

Not pretty enough? Not skinny enough? Not classy enough? Not wealthy enough? Welp...just when you think you're not "enough" for the world, there is that one person who you are just right for. However, he/she might not know it. Actually, he/she might want just the opposite of who you are. Yet, no worries, because if he/she is wise enough, he'll/she'll realize that you might not be what he/she WANTS, but you're absolutely the person (i.e., spouse) that he NEEDS.

The phenomenal performance by Jackie Li in "THE LEGENDARY LIFE OF QUEEN LAU" where wit, charisma, integrity, intelligence, ingenuity, confidence, and genuine kindness far outweigh the superficial elements of a person. Liu Jin Feng wows and dazzles Emperor Duan Yun Zhang to the point where the tables are turned, and his mental light bulb turns on, and he realizes he needs her and he actually winds up pursuing her.

The storyline is solid, I loved the wardrobe, and the supporting cast were all well-suited for their roles. I love when producers build out the supporting cast members roles. WELL DONE production team!

The one missing element from THE LEGENDARY LIFE OF QUEEN LAU is I should have watched it with a group of friends. The relatable-ness and messages of focusing on someone's internal worth is so needed in daily life for depth of discussion, self-reflection and greater understanding about relationships. This program is SPOT-ON! Sooooo watch TLLOQL...you'll love it and perhaps even gain some nuggets of relationship wisdom too!

This show is so amazing. I was genuinely surprised to see Lamu Yangzi as the female lead. She's such a spectacular actress and the series is really amazing. It's different from your usual stuff and the fact that it's lamu that's female lead makes it better cause we don't get to see a lot of females like her as main. Breaking standard as, light, amazing. I really loved it.

Not only do the actors justify their characters, but the acting is fun to watch; the timing of the actors in romantic comedies needs to be absolutely on point for the viewers to enjoy the rhythm and intention of the storyline being relayed. The acting is adorable, and despite the story seemingly predictable on the surface, it does have an opening and denouement: the plot is not as it initially appears, the characters develop throughout the story, and the dialogues are believable despite the drama being period. It is a light-hearted rom-com questioning the debatable beauty standards and expectations of people in society, irrespective of place, culture, and time period.
