“Romance” should be removed as a genre
There is nothing romantic about this show, it’s purely a family drama, focused on generational differences, family struggles, values and how important those factors are in Asian culture. The overbearing mom was intolerable most of the show, but is quite accurate and relatable to our own. Cast and actors were great, I only stuck around for xu kai and yang zi but the first 28 episodes were not exciting, and didn’t really pick up till episode 30. This is one of those kind of shows you don’t have to focus on, can multitask with it in the background, and still not miss much. Some moments will pull at your heart strings, but that’s about it. Wish I could’ve rated it higher but not when I didn’t care for 2/3 of it.Was this review helpful to you?
Historic Masterpiece
Great acting, good cinematography, music, and historically accurate for the most part. Story and plot well thought out, its almost like the story is trying to tell us even if the original emperor was completely opposite in personality and actions, fate still circles back to end up with the same outcome.Might not be able to rewatch just because of the length. The beginning can be a bit confusing with so many different names and characters and whom they belong too but glad I kept going. Beautifully done.
