About

You’ll like this if you enjoy patient palace drama with emotional rivalries and ornate style, especially near Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace; Not for you if slow, talky court politics frustrate you.

Pros: gripping palace intrigue; strong female performances; lavish costumes and sets | Cons: dialogue-heavy stretches; abridged version feels choppy; names can confuse
