The drama is over but its a beautiful memory which will live on!

i dont prefer romance based dramas/movies much as they have similar storyline with HE/BE, but still i watched this one fr its story & ofcourse RJL, Jeremy.
Story:
PY was given the responsibility of making his clan famous, thrive etc by his mother which he complied obediently, until he met JC, he became obsessive (lover kind of) regardless he still kept his clan/mother his priority before JC. His attitude towards JC became better after her master passed away/couldnt save his mother. He got a huge blow whn AC was killed, which led him to fight for his country/injustice/fr bigger cause/ fr people.

Cui Liang had less scenes but they were crucial fr the story. Personally he couldn't fight fr his love due to various reasons.

JC, a free spirited girl gets caught up in btwn. Later as story progresses realises both ML's were using her fr their own selfish desires. Although she's clouded by what she hears vs sees, towards the last quarter realises where her heart truly belongs.

WZ's life was not his to begin with, he dedicated it for the people of yueluo city. Out of all characters his was the most heartbreaking one. Frm him hating her fr spoiling his plans to caring fr her/console, be with her in her difficult times even if his life was at stake/decorating their house & many moreeee was portrayed remarkably.

Acting :
Kudos to all actors, actresses fr playing their characters marvelously.
RJL you chose your character excellently, the one that vil stay in OUR HEARTS FOREVER
((its sad end fr his character BUT do we remember all happy endings of dramas/movies???? ......... this one fr sure we will))

Overall:
Gradual progression of strangers - hating - loving each other, shown beautifully although at start i was skeptical abt the theme of this drama however it kept me hooked till the end.

No matter how much i write it doesnt give full justice to this gem.

Repetitive schemes

First 20 - 25 max episodes are interesting, then later half the story gets too boring, repetitive, Exaggerated

FL has good relations wid almost all the other characters, 1st half she was good later not that interesting
ML didnt leave a prominent mark in whole drama, although his acting is good
Actor who acted as Tuoba Yu's was on point in all his scenes

Chang le's costumes when she becms wife of ML were beautiful, it suited her well
Actor who played Chang ru((seen her in "love020" thr she played almost similar character)), in this drama acted pretty well, but her character is a person wid pretty face but an evil, utter evil heart...... no humanity, shz so obsessed wid tuoba yu ((tuoba yu wid FL, chang le wid ML)) n for it she does all kinds of despicable things, the others - chang le, tuoba yu also are the same
i specifically mentioned her cuz she acted pitiful, no one knew of her schemes till almost the end, that means she acted so well in front of all as well as an actor

Overall the drama would hve been more interesting if the story had variations & not repetitions wid same characters plottings, n FL lead as the culprit every single time

good palace drama

i started this cuz i watched the actress in 'the double',
70 episodes is longg but i Enjoyed it (for a person who doesnt like 30/40+ episodes drama)

spoilers :
- FL did a gud job in acting; shz quick witted,
i felt in the starting 20+ episodes she was too obsessed with revenge for her sister's death & it was too exaggerated, also she is always saved by the empress/ fuheng/ emperor(unknowingly) which in reality doesnt happen everytime ; nonetheless i liked her plots n schemes for her revenge whether its for her sister/empress/for fight against other concubines n consorts.

- xu kai(fuca fuheng) role was short, but his story wid FL was amazing, their romance should have been explored/shown more;
he ditched FL first i get it so FL avoids any kindof interaction btwn them, but his love for her was until his last breath which is truly hard to see in a palace cdrama (without any expectation/response frm FL).

- Emperor was easily swayed along for eg: doubts regarding his birth mother, his concubines/consorts, various plots n schemes(imo);
also with whoever he was infatuated with at that moment/situation like in the case when he supported FL regardless if she was wrong/right (he loved FL unconditionally)

- empress/ex empress/ fuca rong yin ruled justly, loved the emperor but didnt receive his love, faced too many tragedy's regarding her offsprings, also her role was short i feel

- chunwang & FL relationship was good, they understand, depend on each other
his revenge for his birth right was ok but there no need for him to go plotting n scheming against her.

Summary :
the drama was good with its plots n each actor played his/her role well, their stories were worth watching
highlight is obviously the FL, her story

Rewatch :
i would watch it again maybe, to understand subtle details, schemes right from their start

-> to those who are contemplating whether to watch or no :
Just give it a tryyyy, & decide for yourself to watch further or no
