Ruyi's Royal Love In The Palace's not about fighting in the harem, not about being on the top, having powers. It's about Ruyi's and Hong Li's love. From flames to dust, from a beautiful rose to that of a withered one. People might not get why wouldn't Ruyi fight and kill all of those who have done her wrong.

It's not because she couldn't but she doesn't want to. She, from the start of the drama until the end, her heart and endurance are all because of her most beloved Hong Li (Emperor Qian Long).

Hong Li said that she's the one who changed after she cut off a strand of her hair. But no, Ruyi has never changed. Right from the beginning until her very last breath, she's still being that Ruyi who loves Hong Li wholeheartedly.

Why?

People said that the sequel is often not as good as the prequel and yet, I still placed high hope for the sequel and ended up, everything that others said become real.

1. The first episode is alright. Was very glad that Teh's mother accepted Oh Aew and supported her son.
2. I expected angst but never did I realize the angst is cliche (with the cheating) and for the angst, I don't feel sad at all. But instead, I'm super pissed. I didn't cry when the angst happened and instead, I rolled my eyes and saw this coming.

People said that this is reality, people's feelings fade when they get together for a long time. Teh's feelings faded for Oh Aew but the audacity he has to confess to someone when he didn't even clear things off with Oh Aew.

I don't know and I will definitely get scolded by the fans who supported the ending.

I feel that the ending is....too forced?

Like the scriptwriter is trying to force this s*it and make them patch back.

Everything changed in this sequel.
Teh's feelings, the art, the cinematography, everything, and there's a lot of things missing that I can't even put out with words.

Giving this a 4.5 is already counted as fair enough because I actually wanted to give it a 0.
10 for the acting/cast because of the upgrade and the amazing improvement of BKPP along with other side characters!

QUEEN OF NEWS

It's been years since I last wrote a review for a drama I've finished watching and the Queen of News deserves one from me.

I completed the series last year but decided to write a review now.

For those who are contemplating whether to watch or not, my answer is YES! Why yes? I'm listing out the reasons why.

1. Charmaine Sheh's acting! As we all know, Charmaine Sheh's acting never failed her fans and she will do her best for whatever role she gets she did well for Man Wai Sum! She went to learn from actual news anchors and studied a lot for this role! That's what we call professionalism! Her aura, her stance, everything! She did well in this drama and she's the reason why I am so hooked because of her excellent acting!

2. The plot. Well, for a long time, TVB hasn't produced dramas that felt like the "old" TVB. This one can count as one. I mean there have been good TVB dramas in recent years but the Queen of News is top-notch. It's so popular on Douyin (Chinese tiktok) that whenever I scroll through my feed, there are always snips and cuts of the drama.

3. The casts. Well, for some reason Kenneth Ma can't catch whatever is thrown at him from Charmaine Sheh (that's just my pov) but the cast are one of the reasons why this drama is so good. Everyone did so well for their roles and a shout out to Gao Hai Ning for portraying Cathy so well!

4. I enjoy watching show where people fight against each other (LOL). I mean, for the thrill, of course. Office politic is high on this one where Man Wai Sum has to fight against people who are against her. It's so brilliant! She handled all of those smartly!

This drama is a really must-watch! It's so good! I hope u guys will watch it :)

Splendid!

I rarely watch China's Dramas where they adapt from BL NOVELS (I watched addicted and a fair few tho, coz of how good they were) coz I know that they gonna make it so awkward with censorship but, this is legit the one for me!

The story, the chemistry between the casts!

You can see Wen Ke Xing's eyes dripping oil whenever he looks at Zhou Zi Shu!!!
They don't even have to go mushy with I love yous and you can tell how important they are to each other even with the slightest contact!!

The days where I've to pile it up to watch it is very, very tiring and there are times where I lost control wanting to watch all the episodes that I've piled up.

But, thank god, I managed to let it continue to pile up till the last episode before I finished from 22 till the special episode from yesterday till minutes ago!

If you guys are contemplating to watch or not, please do!

But prepare lots of tissues coz this drama is those with happiness and comedy at the start and slowly towards the end, it turns slightly tragic.

love for love's sake

10/10 because I'm biased but it's also the fact that it's the best BL drama that started the whole 2024.

Seen Tae Vin as Minhyuk in Penthouse and boy, his acting skill is undoubtedly one of the best for idol turned actors. He was mean and vile in Penthouse so it's refreshing to see him being so nice and cute in this one.

I've to say the plot that this is not a cringe cliche which most scriptwriters keep using and that this drama has a whole message behind it.

Can't stop squealing at 5 and 6 but man my tears are crazy for 7 and 8. Can't stop crying when I realised that's the end of it.

I won't know when is the next BL that will make me feel like this. It could be soon or that it might be in the near future. But love for love's sake is crazily awesome.

The acting for all the casts are insane and that all of them did their roles well!

I am hoping that Lee Tae Vin and Cha Joo Wan will act in another project together again. I am sincerely hoping for that to happen again.

To those who are about to watch this show, please enjoy this show alot! You guys will love it!

Completed this a few months back and it was only recently where I discovered this website and hence, gonna give a two cents about how exactly I felt when I watched this drama.

Oat and Pop.
People over the comment section in each and every episode literally lashed out on Oat because of how he looks. Like honestly, come on people!!!!! BL is not about all the looks!!!!! It's about the feelings, the love, the sweet moments that it matters. For example, if they actually find someone with good looks but with stiff acting, lord, I can't imagine how many people will drop this drama. Oat is average looking but, he sure is darn cute. The way he pampers Pop with love and how he stares at him lovingly makes me melt all the time and I wanna die hard to find someone like how Oat looks at Pop.

But another thing is that Pop is attached but he is confused with the feelings he has gotten for Oat. This is another so cliche plot where I have seen it in 2938230230322023 BL dramas/movies that I have watched so far. For example, Together With Me The Series.

But, I am definitely rooting for this two in Season 2! :D

Pree and Rambo.

.....
I have no words to say but...

Despite breaking up shortly after, Rambo shows no sense of repent and continued to fool around. Wanting to keep Pree by his side but he just can't stop sleeping around with someone. He almost let Pree caught up with STDs / HIVs. People seem to love this pair more than Oat and Pop and I don't know what to say. Personal Preference? I guess?

Pree and Pop.

Is it bad that I ship this two so hard as well? XD

If Pop and Oat doesn't end up together, I think Pree and Pop makes a great pair as well XD

Home.

Watched this when I was really young and managed to re-watch the entire 590 episodes (they sort of did a re-cut by squeezing episodes into 1 and hence 590, completed ver)

The whole drama is very heart-warming and it basically tells the story of a family with lots of family members living in Happy Valley, selling Roast meat.

Cried when I finished it because I realized that (as a line of theme song says) If there's love, there's home. (明白有爱有家在）

Despite being long, you won't feel that it's being really draggy and the actors, actresses acting in this drama is really good.
The villains making me clenching my teeth, wanting to slap them like how I wanted to when I was a kid back then.

There are lots of romance lines in this story but the main plot was that no matter what happens, there's always a home for you to go back to.

10/10 would recommend.

Will rewatch some years later coz took me a while to finish everything XD

Amazing！

I haven't been watching Makjang especially after finishing Temptation of Wife at one go years ago.

And so, I've checked the writer and only to realize that she wrote the script of Temptation of Wife and was amazed by her writing (again).

The acting from all the actors are amazing and especially for Leee Ji Ah and Kim So Yeon (whose personality, in reality, is really different from her character in the drama)

The way every single actors and actress are able to make you sit on the edge and curse them out (LMFAO, I really did for the whole 21 episodes) and it's crazy.

People who are in for suspense and thrills, this is gonna be the one for it.
If you are not one who can stay for 3 seasons, this drama probably won't be for you.

The second season is coming out this Jan 29 or February and I seriously can't wait to see how the story goes on!

Rewatch value is low because normally for Makjang, once you know how the story goes, the suspense and intensity you feel will no longer be there when you watch it for the second time.
