I was blown away with this series! It was easy to follow and themain events were still pretty accurate to actual history events. I felt that this was an interesting remake of some of the older dramas of the same family. One of the brilliant things about this drama is they managed to get some of the top actors to either be leads or supporting actors and what a cast that was put together. I was so happy that so many of my favourite actors were all on the one big screen.
The acting was top notch and the story had kept me at the edge of my seat the entire time. I just loved it!

What drew me to this series was because Ruby Lin was the main actress. I've always loved the stuff that she's in and this was the same as well.  The story was intriguing and so good to watch. Ruby's portrayal was brilliantly done all the way through. From being a young princess with the older dowager queen.  It was an amazing inspiration watching her overcome all the hardships through her life. There was such motivation in what she's done for herself and her family and watching it come to life was an amazing experience. Of course, I absolutely loved the costume designs as well. There was such rich fabrics and designs.

This story was very much like Scarlet Heart which I absolutely loved. But I felt that this was basically a similar story but there was another take on it. Although I wasn't the hugest fan of the 4th Prince and loved 8th Prince and really felt sorry for him. The story itself was pretty well thought out and intriguing to follow. And the main female was fabulous in her acting and loved her. The story did pull at your heart strings and at time I felt that it was hard to follow sometimes but from the beginning the director understood how to use cliffhangers so it wasn't too hard to watch.

This was fun to watch for me. I stumbled on this while watching Netflix and it was one of my suggestions. I do love Korean dramas and they're always pretty good at making me cry. This was fun in a sense that it wasn't as long as the usual Korean dramas that's on the market now. But it still had all the great bits that make a good korean drama. The story was sweet and the romance was good. I don't really remember the music that came with this show but I felt that the acting was pretty good and the setting was fantastic and I would watch it again.

I can say that this has been one of my favourite dramas to watch and re-watch. The plot was very moving and I loved how they cut the story into two parts. The first part where Elaine is basically someone who gets walked all over with no career prospects or real personality. But in the second part Elaine grows up and knows what she wants in life and in her husband. I felt that it was so good to see her grow up during the length of the series. It's not something that I've seen in dramas often. Her growth was what made the series interesting to watch. I felt like that I have grown up with her as I was watching it.
The main characters had a lot of chemistry and I loved their scenes together. I felt that this series had really took the taiwanese drama scene up a notch.
This is really a must watch series!

I was so surprised with this! Usually, Japan does really well with psychological dramas but this was done so well. I was intrigued from the very start. There was so many twists and turns from this drama that not only kept me interested but the more I watched the more I wanted to watch.

The characters were well represented, the music was great, and the script was amazing. This was one of those shows that keeps you guessing for what will happen next. Sometimes I did find it a little confusing to keep up but then they were quite good at bringing the audience along.

This had been one of the first K dramas that I started watching. I've seen the Japanese and the Chinese version of the same story and had loved both, so I was familiar with the natural storyline. But I was hoping that they would have added their own little twist to the story. It was a little disappointing to see that they hadn't really made the effort. Which moved them from being fabulous to just being Meh in my books.
The actors and actresses were great and I felt that they made a great decision on the casting but I felt that the story was just missing something throughout the series. I would watch it again but mostly to fill time though.
