Really one of the best chinese dramas out there. Yanxi palace lives up to its name with its unusual plot twists and realistic affection towards each other.
One of the greatest points of this drama is that we can relate to politics in the 21st century. Learning certain skills from Ying Luo such as being able to attain favour from the right person that can protect her as well as doing your job well no matter how lowly the position is are values applicable in our lives.
