That was a beautiful dream and i really enjoyed every bit of it. This drama was really amazing from the beginning to the end, it was awesome. The love story was beautiful and the story line was really good. I really love. The male and the female lead fighting scenes was beyond my imagination. Thanks to all that put it together ❤ ❤❤

The biggest gripe I have with Novoland Pearl Eclipse is the poor transitioning of scenes and the general lack of situational props that one ordinarily finds in dramas of this magnitude. There's hardly any external street shots and some internal scenes are so sterile and devoid of props that otherwise should lend realism to the ambience.

Likewise, the plot, which seems to be the standard in most palace intrigue c-dramas. The stoic male lead and the feisty female lead coupled with throne grabbing games and bad faith palace officials...it's all just so stale and unimaginative especially given the fact this is a made up historical setting that the writers should have exploited to the fullest extent knowing there would be minimal censorship by the Chinese government. In addition and I say this with all due respect to Chinese drama script writers....no one buys the female in male clothing disguise. I mean not one person on earth would ever think these scrawny, limp noodle, 40kg actresses can ever successfully disguise as a man without being found out in a second. Stop insulting out intelligence with this trope. Either find a female actress willing to bulk up or pretty please with a cherry on top stop with the madness.

This was a BEAUTIFUL FAIRYTAIL LOVE drama. The actors are all so TALENTED, BEAUTIFUL and HANDSOME, The WRITERS, PRODUCERS and ALL who put together this AWESOME drama get a STANDING OVATION in my eyes<3<3<3.

Great direction cinematography music.

It is raw and dark compared to other period cdramas and there it got me hooked, though I did not like it from the beginning (Some things seemed a bit off at first 10 episodes or more). But as it unfolds piece by piece and the characters mature...well love them or hate them, you choose. Second and third characters were surprisingly interesting. Even if they do not add up to the big picture I liked that they took the time to unfold some side stories.

The ending was quite rushed for such a slow burning show. And I do not understand how a woman can pretend to be a man like that...

All in all, I cried, I was on edge and I truly enjoyed it.

If you're into Chinese epic and historical drama just watch this show. Amazing acting, good storylines and very well produced with an extra touch of fantasy.
