Initially it was interesting and I started to get addicted but after a while, it started to get lame as the writer just recycle the plot where consort Xian kept annoying the Emperor and then tit for tat and it just kept repeating. Then the contradiction of repeating being framed but kept being nice and kept repeating again d again. I think the writer ran out of idea. The story did not move much as it just go round and round.
The writers of Chinese drama need to be more creative and stop using old lame and contradicting plots. It is already 2020 and audiences want better story. Stop wasting time and repeating same plots to drag out the episodes.
