    THE BEST SHOW
    This show might be a little complicated at first because it's a historical drama with many characters and some clans but gradually you will get used to it. I like the character development of the main character Wu Mei Niang. At first when she enters the palace she is chatty, very naïve, youthful and always helping people but then we see a powerful aggressive side to her. Fan Bing Bing is looking totally stunning, also i love the actress who played Xu Hui.
