Story of kunning palace is one of the best time travel cdramas.....
1) ✅the fl is not meek character. she's a character that can do anything to achieve her goal. Though she made bad choices in her first life and manipulated people....but she got redemption by loving people who are important to her life .
2) ✅ the male lead is ruthless manipulative character and Zhang Linghe did terrific job portraying his character .
overall theme , action scenes, all are top quality.
4) ❌ the drama couldn't fill up the intensity of the plot from the first episode, I expected more intense plot.
5) ❌Xie Wei didn't reborn so , why didn't he made the same choices in the first timeline, so he could avoid death of first emperor and stop falling the power under Xue family .
6) ❌if the protagonists change then why would the antagonists stick to their original plan ? Even Xues are weak but Lord pingnan shouldn't have fallen under Xie Wei's trap so easily. The villains are not interesting.
7) ❌rather filling up the drama with non scene annoying romance with the second male lead ( who ain't better than wooden log ) they could have shown more schemes and romance between the main leads .
8) ❌Character of Xue ning sometimes burden the main plan of Xie Wei. I would rather prefer the fl being power of ml not weakness. There was no reason for her to follow the war when she can't fight or scheme . Rather than being kidnapped and hero saves beauty plot she could have rested at home .
9) ❌the production and director didn't did great job on pointing the weightage of scenes.
10)✅✅✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ although I pointed out many flaws, nothing is flawless and this show is worth watching and entertaining at the end of the day so I highly recommend this drama...
