just finished season two. While i found the dynamic between jinshi and maomao enjoyable in the first season, the degree of jinshis possessiveness and his willingness to become physical and restrain maomao is kind of putting me off. i love the way characters' peculiarities are respected in this show, especially between my two favourite gays, shisui and maomao, who are endgame to me - maomao clearly has more adoration for shisui and seems to care for her more deeply and more romantically. - Full Review

I loved this show. I really enjoyed the characters, the humor, the mysteries and intrigue of court life. While admittedly, Maomao is maybe focused on too much as the solver of every problem. It wouldn't be nearly as enjoyable if she wasn't focused on so much. I'm hoping that later seasons live up to the enjoyment I had from the first.
