Yanxi Palace: Princess Adventures

It's not a bad as some says...it's a sequel and yes first one is absolutely the best and it's 70+ EPs...how can one compare to 6 EPs? Haha...anyway....I liked it.

YANXI PALACE: Princess Adventures (2019) was a pretty good Netflix spinoff series, though not nearly as good as the original Chinese drama from which it was inspired, but it was entertaining all same. I am a huge fan of the original Story of Yanxi Palace. This series was very short, only a few 6 episodes compared to the 70 episodes of the original. I do think, given more time, it could have evolved into a great show too.

It probably would have been much better if it was as long as the first. In my opinion, the length of these shows allows for so much character growth and time for the viewers to develop meaningful attachments to the characters, thus viewers become really invested in the story. However, this series was pretty well made and kept the overall vibe of the original. There was an interesting premise, cast, music, visuals etc. It was certainly worth the watch.

I binge-watched this series in a day, and I really think it's worth the watch!!

Honestly, at first, I was sceptical about this spin-off because it looked like it was solely about the love-life of Yingluo's daughter. BUT, it's so much more! At first, the characters weren't as likeable, but of course, not everything is what it seems;)

The series was only 6 episodes, so it compromised many things (i.e. character development, relationship-building etc). However, I'm super impressed that they used old cast members and expanded on some events from the previous season! EPISODE 5 is a must watch! Considering the time limit, there were enough twists and turns, so it was a good effort!

I was excited as soon as i seen their would be a sequel to the first Yanxi Palace and loved it but an very disappointed at how short it was. I wanted the story to keep going but it was a major cliff hanger and i feel like it was rushed to end.

Thankfully it is only 6 episodes as they really should have made more effort instead of trading on the name Yanxi palace. No real character development and a plot that plods with all the actors lacking personality apart from Wu Jinyan who I am sure is regretting agreeing to appearing in this sorry story.
