There is not much intrigue in the palace fighting drama

The plot is so simplistic that at every step you can imagine what will happen next. For the audience who are used to seeing Gong Dou's omnipotent Gong Dou drama, this dispute is too simple. Unlike us, if you are not careful, your life will be lost.

The difference is that the queen is gay, we have emperors in history who liked this, but we don't shoot this.

The palace sets, costumes and props are first-class, but the benefits are just that.

Of course, Vichy and Shizuo are still very good, especially Shishi, the performance is very good. If it weren't for the strength of a few actresses, the whole film would be weak.
