Monday, April 9, 2012 (Palace)

Palace is an awesome costume drama about how a modern girl involves in a series of plots, battles, and survives in Qing dynasty. Though my friends are fond of watching dramas, they aren't interested in costume dramas so I can't discuss excitedly with them. Thus, I express my feelings on blogger. A modern girl accidentally shuttled back to Qing dynasty. She discovered that she became a maid in the imperial palace. Unfortunately, she is bullied by the emperor's 8th son and his brothers since she dared to oppose against them in order to save her sworn sisters. 8th brother was impressed by her courage. 4th brother treated the maid well while she encountered difficulties and taught her to play the zither. Thus, she gradually fell in love with him. However, 8th brother declared that the maid was his girl because he has never met a girl whom he thought interesting and remembered fondly everyday. The maid refused the marriage with 8th brother publicly even though the emperor granted the marriage. She thought that 4th brother was her true love. However, she then discovered that 4th brother was eager to assassin her since she might become a threat. She was desperate and decided to change and rewrite history--stopped 4th brother from becoming emperor Yongzheng. Palace haunted me since the plot is attractive and the characters are active. I learn that the battles in harem are mysterious, cunning, and complicated. A mistake might cost people's lives easily. There aren't any heavenly principles because the emperor is God.
