Royal Nirvana

The emperor is tricked one time after another. Is it a fault of the person who wrote this sorry? Would be unrealistic and annoying

I just think I would feel so betrayed & hurt if I was Maid Gu? And why hasn't he worked out who she is? Arghh!

I would of wrote this story so much better. The love between him and the one he marries, could played out better I was very angry. Yes she is always on his mind but not the point.

Also the torture the CP puts maid Gu through? That is not love? I really feel her.

I am enjoying it don't get me wrong but I feel emotionally drained and very angry that the CP would put her through all that. So many times I just wanted him to plot better and stand up for them both.

Maybe I am wrong. But my opinion, may all come together at the end.

I do love watching a heavy political C-drama. Thank God I have dicided to watch this! Royal Nirvana (60 eps) and Royal Nirvana Special (12 eps) combined is one of the best political C-Drama ever! It's an exciting rollercoaster! The male and female leads do deserve the best actor and actress award! All out tremendous acting from both, Luo Jin (the sociopath Crown Prince) and Li Yitong (the gracefullly beautiful, smart gentle heroine Lu WenXi). Wicked storyline and plots, epic production and beautiful cinematography supported by great music, casts and acting! The conflicts in this drama was sadistic but the romance was romantically hot! The shadow of Luo Jin and Li Yitong's romantic moments behind the screening was astonishingly beautiful and intellectually romantic. Moreover, the catepillar kiss and 3 years longing kiss are def the best kissing scene in all C-dramas I have ever watched! It's just A. M. A. Z. I. N. G!

Loved it after watching first few episodes and thought it would be a gem but for 60 episodes? That's way too long. I started skipping after first 30 episodes. It starts to become redundant and boring. You can skip 10 episodes without missing much.

Royal Nirvana has probably the most beautiful soundtrack of all Chinese dramas. Roc Chen's background score is sublime; I still listen to it from time to time. The cinematography is amazing. That view at the end will remain in my head for a long time.

The story about a crown prince's struggles against political schemes is explosive. Luo Jin as Xiao Ding Quan gives a tour de force of a performance as a tormented crown prince. The political machinations are so well-written, I could only shake my head in admiration. The love story with Lu Wenxi/Abao (Li Yitong) is enchanting.
