This is my first time writing a review on this platform but after watching this drama, I just felt like I had to.

When I first started Dreaming Back to the Qing Dynasty, I thought the beginning was unique. The first few episodes were fluffy, sweet and cute. It was different from the usual time-travel dramas. If you like Scarlet Heart, you might like this too. Although they do have some similarities, they do have their distinct differences. Especially the portrayal of certain princes. DBTTQD made me love the 13th Prince and 14th Prince more than I already do in Scarlet Heart.

Although I felt like some parts were a little rushed (there were some inconsistencies) and some parts were a little repetitive, due to the scheming, there are many to love about this drama. The acting is great, especially the excellent chemistry between the characters; the romance of XiaoWei and YinXiang, the brotherhood and sibling rivalries between the princes, the hatred and betrayal between sisters. Not only that, the set and costumes were beautiful and the OST is definitely addictive.

I thought the ending of DBTTQD is fairly well wrapped up and concluded, almost satisfying. It didn't leave me wanting more or questioning it. Although I'm surprised that almost every prominent character in the drama got a happy ending (even the most, most, most sinful character), I felt like it was okay. Though, I felt like it could've been better if the romantic relationship between the two main characters were given more time and depth throughout the entire drama.

Overall, I still think it's worth a watch.
