The Prisoner of Beauty

This drama is a masterpiece. I finished it in 3 days. Stayed up. The last few episodes made me cry so hard. Too many surprises and too much emotion. Romance, comedy, tragedy and war. When i first started i thought i would give up somewhere (considering giving up on drama was normal for me). But this drama never fail to bring me to next episodes. Climax after climax.

I love how all the characters with their wisdoms in whatever they're doing. The way they interact with each other feels real and so close. And, of course, the chemistry between Nan Jun and Nv Jun, and all the other characters that made this story so alive. Zhe yao.

I think if you are new into chinese drama esp one in classic costume and you are a girl who all about sweet romance and romantic comedy, than The prisoner of Beauty is the perfect started pack!

It seems dark or serious during 1-2 episode but it's turn into more romantic comedy and family & friendship bonding with further episode. You don't need to think hard and just enjoy the flow of this drama and have fun and yes smiling all along. Yes since its costume drama of course there gonna be some up and down but overall it's a sweet historical romantic comedy to warm you with face and laugh out loud.

The Prisoner of Beauty is more than just a historical romance - it's a deeply emotional journey brought to life by two outstanding lead actors whose chemistry is undeniable and unforgettable.

From the very beginning, the love story between the leads pulled me in. It wasn't a typical fairy-tale romance. Their connection was built slowly, with layers of pain, trust, longing, and sacrifice. Both actors delivered performances that felt raw and real. You could feel every silent glance, every hesitation, every moment of tenderness and heartbreak.

The female lead was both delicate and powerful. She carried the weight of her beauty like a burden and gave depth to her character through subtle emotion and fierce resilience. The male lead was equally brilliant - torn between duty and desire, his quiet strength and protectiveness made his character incredibly compelling.

Together, they created a love story that felt timeless. Their growth, both individually and as a couple, was what made the drama so emotionally satisfying. You root for them not just because they're in love, but because their love feels earned, real, and transformative.

The storyline is well-paced, intense, and keeps you hooked from start to finish-there's not a single dull moment. The cinematography is soft and beautifully done, giving a warm and comforting vibe throughout. The original soundtrack (OST) is also stunning, perfectly capturing the emotions of each scene.

The cast did an incredible job. Every actor portrayed their character with such depth and realism that I felt deeply connected to all of them. The chemistry between the lead actors was especially amazing-so good that I genuinely hope to see them act together again in the future. I also loved how clever and quick-witted the characters were; their dynamic made the story even more engaging and memorable.

Some scenes felt a bit rushed due to the limited number of episodes (36), but that's understandable. Honestly, I wish there were around 40 episodes because I didn't want it to end! Overall, it's a series that stays with you long after it ends-an unforgettable experience that absolutely deserves a full 10 out of 10!

For a long time, I have not seen a good historical film like this, I am a fairly fastidious person when watching Chinese movies, especially the historical films related to the battlefield. Right from the first impression, the film attracted me with the beauty of the main actress and a masculine drawing of the main actor with a story that was not too new but impressive enough and detailed details I was bored, I watched the movie continuously when I just aired. Normally, Chinese historical films will have quite ridiculous and complex details that it is romantic, making me feel offended my intelligence, but this film solves very good and reasonable situations.
