Qing yu nian

Even if you read the novel, you are not sure how the story unfolds. Scriptwriter adapted flexible, familiar fantasy story becomes new, charismatic to the last minute. Look forward to the sequel. However, this is not a romance, so don't rely on romantic scenes or chemical reactions between couples. Drama worth watching.

Really love the plot of this drama! So much twist, so much scheming. You thought and guessed one thing, what really happened is the other thing. Mindblowing! Once you get to the end, you will finally understand simple things which you take for granted before, like the meaning of the opening song, the hair accessories which I think is pretty unique for a historical drama, the modern cut/editing/transition. I love the cinematography of this drama too. The composition is neat. The lighting is pretty dramatic but still natural. Also love the costume. I notice that they differentiate the pattern for the different countries. Applause for all the actors too, great actings both from the senior and the junior actors. Really brought to life the interesting characters. I hope they wouldn't change any actor for season 2.

Can't get enough of it ,watched so many times but still.dont know when second season is going to come waiting eagerly.story is so intriguing.it has comedy, romance,plots.everything seems real not like other dramas where everything just follows main lead ,it's like it's already fix that he is hero and everything has to be according,but in this drama it doesn't feel like that.cast is so good,each and everyone not just leads.hope second season comes soon and with same cast.

The star of the show is Fan Xian who is played excellently by Zhang Ruo Yun and my review is based on the first two series as there is no confirmed date for series three. It is set in the ancient empire of Qing and the story begins with Fan returning to the capital after years of exclusion after an assassination attempt on him. He has memories of the future and his mother who he never knew brought great knowledge to the kingdom. Once he is in the capital he soon rises through the ranks and his support is pursued by powerful factions within the court. The story goes along at a steady pace and has many twists and turns with a great supporting cast and good character development and I would have liked more inclusion of some of the interesting side characters. Well worth a watch but remember there are a lot of episodes and more to come.

Ah...where can I even begin. This show is fantastic and so layered and captivating that it is nothing short of magnificent! There is a little bit of everything in this show and not to mention the most believable and interesting characters that make this drama an even more immersive experience. I so cannot wait for season 2 because just wow! This is such an inspiring story because it's so good that me as an aspiring writer can only hope to achieve such level of calculated brilliance in any future works of mine. Even just the evolution of Fan Xian and some other characters is just so remarkable that I have to pause and just relish in how good this show is. It is superb and unparalleled and I rest my case lol.
