Deep in the Realm of Conscience (2018)

Pros:
- Lots of budget for the setting and some nice costumes.
However, probably because of the amount of effort put into setting up the set, the drama had a lot of unnecessary long shots to flaunt the setting. Sometimes, it makes you wonder why there are so little or no palace maids/ eunuchs around. The princess could barge into the court while the emperor was discussing matters with someone (where is the eunuch to inform the emperor about the princess's arrival?).

- Casting
Random fact: Steven Ma's tvb drama comeback

Cons:
- Plot was boring. The dialogue was strange - it felt like the drama was separated into two distinct sections. One group was speaking in light tone and everything rhymes. The other group was just in a serious tone. This is probably not as obvious if you are watching the dubbed version.

Overall, if u watch the drama as a standalone, it is okay and probably an enjoyable watch for some. As a sequel, it falls short from the first one.
