Legend of Miyue

I think I prefer to name the title of this Chiese TV series as "The legend of Mi Yue". Mi Yue, she is the most outstanding female politician in Chinese history. She is a legend. She has made a great contribution to the unification of China in two thousand years ago. This TV series has received rave reviews in Mainland China. I am very fond of Mi Yue Zhuan and I haven't seen such a marvelous story in a long time . This TV series as great entertainment with its colorful cast and numerous plot twists. The characters in this TV series are vivid. It is the best TV series in 2015 in China. My friends fond of it too. Yes, there are 81parts, it is fairly long, but the beautiful scenes and impressive dialogue really held the audience's attention.

If you have a love for Chinese history, please go to watch this TV series. It will touch your heart.

With increased irritation, I'm trudging through this dense and boring historical drama hoping something remotely interesting happens, however, it's taking for-fu@king-ver to get plot advancement. It doesn't help that I seem to have developed an intense dislike for, Sun Li, the lead actress who- with all apologies- can't act her way out of a paper bag. I'm sorry but Ms Li's acting is the same in every period drama she's been in. She always does a doe-eyed ingénue who, despite being unfairly treated, goes through life singing kumbaya and has never met a potential enemy she didn't love. Also, she looked her age- mid 30s- and was hardly convincing as some teenager...the men were all old as well. Seriously, who wrote this screenplay? Sigh.

I'll give it a dozen more episodes to see if the pacing and story development move faster otherwise it goes in the dropped category pronto.

The legend of Mi Yue can be criticised for not being very accurate but as an enjoyable story it hits the spot. Plot is sometimes slow and stilted but it did manage to retain my interest enough to want to watch the entire story. Bottom line is that there are better dramas out there but this one isn't as bad as a lot of people seem to think.

Makes me interested in the the warring period of China where so many interesting events came about. It is the 2nd chinese historical drama i watched and loved since 3 kingdoms.

As an American Born Chinese, I don't often watch a lot of Chinese drama, but this one, the legend of Miyue, I have to say is one of the best one I've seen in years. I've seen way too many other reviews about how bad this drama is, I recommend those people thats brain dead, should take your time, watch this drama and rethink about it carefully. In China, this drama is counted as the best drama is 10 years, with more than 30 billion view counts on the internet, about 20 percent of Chinese watching this drama every night. I really don't understand why would someone talking sh*t about this drama without even watching a single episode. If you are someone thats interested in Chinese culture, the love and hate between man and women, or even ancient war in China, I recommend this drama to you. I promise, you will not regret your choice.
