Is this almost like the Chinese version of the Korean drama Dae Jang Geum?

This drama is fun to watch. Don’t know the leads but I must say the male lead is rather good looking. I like the vibrant colours of the sets and costumes, especially the the embroidery details - so pretty! Don’t know if it’s a Budget or big money production, but I am really pleasantly surprised at the gorgeous details.

 

The story is engaging enough for me to keep watching - up to 8 episodes now. None of the complicated classical prose so it’s not for people who prefer sophisticated political dramas. Still, the script is cleverly written with enough palace intrigues to keep me interested in the further developments. The female lead is quite clever, and not one to be bullied, but a bit dense to the male lead’s feelings so far. It’s fun to watch their interactions.
