I loved it because its based on historical figures but certain parts were quite confused as it leaves a big gap and some historical figure were not included in. I understand that this only be done because its only 46 episodes but I would still watch it if its 100 episodes because I would really love to see Emperor XuanZong transformation. The final episodes has a big gap of him ordered Princess Taiping to be poisoned leaving me confused I hated that because its totally ruin his good personality from the beginning of this story thus my disatisfaction was only left here.
As for Mengfan, I really love her personality and it is a good ending for her to spend the rest of her life out of Palace. I would do the same if I was her too.
Mengfan utmost respect was still with Emperor Wu until the end. Wu zetian indeed an iconic figure in the whole story despite of her evil past.
This history story is a rewatch able series unfortunately most site do not provide English sub for it. I already watched twice. I still suffered the hangover from the ending jump leap from Emperor XuanZong and Princess Taiping
