I feel set up. My hopes were so high. I watched the story of Yanxi palace and absolutely loved it. So when I started watching this I was shocked. The quality was the same. Some of the cast were the same but the story itself was a big flop for me. This was 6 episodes and I was almost confused by the last two episodes. They did try to maintain the wits of the cast members. They were cunning and you had the opportunity to see Wei Lou’s teaching to her daughter, Although the writers didn’t give the viewers the opportunity to see her full wits. She used her wits but it wasn’t very evident. She literally had to tell the viewers what and how she did it, unlike the original story where you saw it and understood what was going on. I can only assume it was due to the short series.

I was honestly annoyed by episode one because of the princess behavior. It was supremely spoiled. I don’t hate it, but I don’t love it either.

On another note, it was good to see Wei Lou and the emperor.
