Yanxi Palace: Princess Adventures

I binge-watched this series in a day, and I really think it's worth the watch!!

Honestly, at first, I was sceptical about this spin-off because it looked like it was solely about the love-life of Yingluo's daughter. BUT, it's so much more! At first, the characters weren't as likeable, but of course, not everything is what it seems;)

The series was only 6 episodes, so it compromised many things (i.e. character development, relationship-building etc). However, I'm super impressed that they used old cast members and expanded on some events from the previous season! EPISODE 5 is a must watch! Considering the time limit, there were enough twists and turns, so it was a good effort!

Thankfully it is only 6 episodes as they really should have made more effort instead of trading on the name Yanxi palace. No real character development and a plot that plods with all the actors lacking personality apart from Wu Jinyan who I am sure is regretting agreeing to appearing in this sorry story.

I was excited as soon as i seen their would be a sequel to the first Yanxi Palace and loved it but an very disappointed at how short it was. I wanted the story to keep going but it was a major cliff hanger and i feel like it was rushed to end.

Was looking forward to this preview looked good but i found it annoying and uncomfortable to watch found the main characters not likable at all the romance was flat not worth a watch.

" Yanxi Palace : Princess Adventures " was not as good as the parent story, but it was entertaining.

The start was a bit slow, but after a while, you get back into the Yanxi Palace atmosphere. The love story was actually good, and the ending twist was original and was actually fit for a woman of the Yanxi palace. However, the ghost story part was not well explained, confusing and it needed more time to be well developed and the length of the drama didn't help at all. The performances were really good though and the leading lady was a delight.

So, seven out of ten.
