Zhe yao

The prisoner of beauty is a feast for the eyes and the heart! Song Zu'er and Liu Yuning deliver magnetic, career-defining performances as warring clan heirs bound by a political marriage. Their enemies-to-lovers journey crackles with palpable tension - fueled by Liu Yuning's brooding intensity and scorching gaze perfectly countering Song Zu'er's luminous resilience and quiet strength. While the arranged-marriage trope feels familiar, the execution is masterful. Lavish production design immerses viewers in opulent sets and breathtaking costumes, while the nuanced script balances political intrigue with genuine emotional stakes. The slow-burn romance simmers exquisitely, making every glance and reluctant touch electrifying. For historical romance fans craving passion, grandeur, and leads whose chemistry leaps off the screen, The prisoner of beauty is utterly addictive and compulsively binge-worthy. An absolute must-watch!

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 didn't expect to get so hooked on Zhe Yao, but this drama completely exceeded my expectations. The storyline is incredibly well-paced - emotional, intense, and filled with just the right amount of tension and warmth. It's one of those rare historical dramas where the plot keeps evolving without dragging or feeling repetitive.

The acting is another standout. The leads have amazing chemistry, and both deliver such layered, believable performances. You can really feel the characters' growth and internal struggles. Even the supporting cast is strong, funny and on point.

Visually, the production is beautiful. The costumes, sets, and cinematography are all top-notch, but what really pulled me in was the emotional depth and how vivid each scene felt. The relationships feel real, the stakes are high, and the emotional beats hit hard. Definitely worth watching if you're looking for a historical drama with substance and heart.

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.

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.
