Too long

I am a fan of long dramas but this one literally pulled at my insides. I felt drained. It felt as though I was in a plot but wasnt going anywhere. The story is good but couldn't it have been shorter? What's the use of a long drama that has some irrelevant scenes? Asides that, i really liked Concubine Zhen but i had to read up from a few reviews to see how it ended.
The costume were beautifully made. The cruelty of the concubines hidden beneath their smiles was quite shocking but not unexpected. (Having all those women together and vying for one man is enough to turn one into a villain and stir jealousy and hatred)
The dialogues were too long. I mean...an episode could have ten scenes where dialogues went on and on and on.
They seemed to move around in circles too plus the parts i watched happened in the palace so, i got tired of seeing the same scenery, my head hurt.
The point where I stopped craving to watch the next episode, was an eye opener. I had watched enough.
