Jin Xiu Wei Yang

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.

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.

The amount of times our main character is in danger or gets framed then conviently is saved at the right moment is soooo unbelievable. She's also super smart and is desired by a ton of guys which is just so uhhhh. There's very minimal faults to her really. The drama really is an ongoing story of a girl who is in danger then gets saved then repeats that the whole time. I will say though that the drama gets better. Story is more interesting but really not that unique. Overall, it was an enjoyable watch.

I thoroughly enjoyed the show, but I think the character of Tuo Ba Yu is absolutely the highlight, even overshadowed the male lead. This is an cunning and ambitious man who could sacrifice anyone in the world to achieve his goal, except for one woman. Even he is a villain, I can't help being intrigued and care about this character. The actor did a fantastic job playing this role!

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.
