I've lost count of how many times I've watched this TV show. Every line, every scene, is not superfluous, it is all carefully designed. Even some of the details, I have watched many times, do not find the mystery.

I am British but have no time for our TV soap operas such as Eastenders and Coronation street but having watched Empresses in the Palace I have gone on to watch many Chinese TV dramas. It is very colourful and also in the main very well acted. The twists and turns in the plot held my interest all the way through and I was genuinely deflated when I came to the end. I particularly like the acting of the star Sun Li (Susan Sun) who manages to portray ageing often with just her posture or movement, and also has a convincing range of emotional expression. I would highly recommend this if you like booing pantomime villains and have an interest in colourful well dressed drama.

Rich, captivating and enthralling. I just finished the entire show... I am at a loss for words for the beauty and cruelty of it all. Bravo!

Sun Hao's acting is really good, the heroine is smart and kind, and finally stands at the top of the right

This is a Chinese TV series which had 76 episodes. This is a choppy version of the series with huge gaps in what and why things are happening. The original version is on YouTube, but only 35 episodes have been translated into English so far. I liked this version, but was left scratching my head at the end.

I was very disappointed, which is why I went looking for more and found the information about the series AND its availability on YouTube. There is a group of volunteers who are supplying the English translations. They say that it takes about 2 weeks per episode to add the English, I'll be waiting for them! It's a terrific series in its original form.
