So disappointing:( It feels like the heart and soul has been sucks out of it. No songs, no music, no character development, no jokes and a butt load of plot holes. The absence of Mushu is so bad. Which his comedy reliefs it's just soulless.

You can tell straight away it's a play very badly adapted to screen. If I were to watch them in the actual theater in a more intimate settings, I think it would be much better. But it just didn't translate to screen. The dialogue is so over the top and so overwritten; people do not talk like this. Even amazing acting could not save this a script...

Сериал просто шикарный! Затягивает сразу. Хабенский как всегда просто гений! Паулина как-то слабенький, но ради Хабеского смотреть можно. Я редко смотрю русские сериалы, но этот исключение. This series is amazing. Suck you in straight away. Khabesnskij is a genius as usual! Paulina is a bit weak, but because of Khabesnkij it's worth watching. I don't usually watch Russian series, but this one is an acception.

I've never even heard of the books, but I could tell straight away this movie was a really bad adaptation of a book series. It feels like they tried to fit in so much stuff in one movie. It's like if all of Harry Potter books were fit into one movie. On the upside the movie made me want to read the books. It looks like a very interesting premise that was just butchered like so many screen adaptations.
