It was cheesy and cute and the ending salvaged a lot, ALOT of the flaws for me! Glad I finally watched it, but I'm not going to continue with the series.From Melissa Payne, bestselling author of Memories in the Drift, comes an emotionally rich, feel-good novel about hope, second chances, and seeing the world through someone else’s eyes. I WANTED to watch something cheesy, with over the top effects and characters I love to hate. Overall: Based on my review I know it sounds like I hated this series BUT, I knew what I was getting into from the 1st series. But the OST was nice and whoever did the actual singing was good. Every time a character would ask Lian Er to sing suddenly the music would kick-in over her singing and we're supposed to believe she was the one singing! It made me laugh every time. Other than that, I will say that the cameos by 8th Prince and Qing Chuan were adorable and was a nice nod to series 1. The main one I spotted was the old emperor in series 1 played 17th Prince's teacher in this one. It annoyed me that some characters from the first series played different character's in this one. FYI writers: I DIDNT CARE! I found myself fast forwarding through most of that.:-)Īcting/Cast: Good. Also,I did not like the amount of time that some side stories had towards the end. Maybe if there were fewer episodes that kept drilling into our heads just how bad the palace people were and just how much they could torment our heroes it wouldn't have bothered me so much. Honestly, by the time I was on the last few episodes the niceness of Lian Er was just frustrating and the bad endings for the evil characters weren't as satisfying as I would have hoped. There are evil and overly ambitious people in the palace that make the love triangle a tug of war for the entire 36 episodes. Anyway.I really liked it (especially when Qing Chuan and 8th Prince make cameos) but it didn't need to be THIS long.
