Thus, proving how desperate people are to talk with others about what they’ve just watched, as it’s all so different than what they’ve seen before.

Comments that are also, for the most part, overwhelmingly positive and extremely complimentary to the screenwriter, Ren Zhuang Liu (Story of Kunning Palace).

A writer who has written such a clever mockery of so many of the tropes we are all so familiar with in Chinese dramas.

Not a surprise then that Nan Heng (aka Liu Yu Ning) has already exceeded 300 in character popularity, and likely to climb much higher before the drama finishes on July 15th, eh?
