Legend of Miyue (2015–2016) User Reviews

Enjoyable story

[alaningle7 · 8/10 · 30 May 2018]

The legend of Mi Yue can be criticised for not being very accurate but as an enjoyable story it hits the spot. Plot is sometimes slow and stilted but it did manage to retain my interest enough to want to watch the entire story. Bottom line is that there are better dramas out there but this one isn't as bad as a lot of people seem to think.

Mi Yue Zhuan is the one of the best Chinese TV series in last year

[bass-05985 · 10/10 · 21 January 2016]

I think I prefer to name the title of this Chiese TV series as "The legend of Mi Yue". Mi Yue, she is the most outstanding female politician in Chinese history. She is a legend. She has made a great contribution to the unification of China in two thousand years ago. This TV series has received rave reviews in Mainland China. I am very fond of Mi Yue Zhuan and I haven't seen such a marvelous story in a long time . This TV series as great entertainment with its colorful cast and numerous plot twists. The characters in this TV series are vivid. It is the best TV series in 2015 in China. My friends fond of it too. Yes, there are 81parts, it is fairly long, but the beautiful scenes and impressive dialogue really held the audience's attention.

If you have a love for Chinese history, please go to watch this TV series. It will touch your heart.

Please spend some time watch this drama and you will find it really enjoyable.

As an American Born Chinese, I don't often watch a lot of Chinese drama, but this one, the legend of Miyue, I have to say is one of the best one I've seen in years. I've seen way too many other reviews about how bad this drama is, I recommend those people thats brain dead, should take your time, watch this drama and rethink about it carefully. In China, this drama is counted as the best drama is 10 years, with more than 30 billion view counts on the internet, about 20 percent of Chinese watching this drama every night. I really don't understand why would someone talking sh*t about this drama without even watching a single episode. If you are someone thats interested in Chinese culture, the love and hate between man and women, or even ancient war in China, I recommend this drama to you. I promise, you will not regret your choice.

not a good story

[w-59516 · 1/10 · 18 December 2015]

Well, as a Chinese, I have to say this soap opera is just a little more than rubbish. So, if you are not extremely boring, please do not watch it. I really mean it.Most of Chinese audience do not think this one is of good value. The drama is slow and boring, and plots in it is of no logic. And the dresses in it is totally a disaster. I wonder where have they spent all the budget of this drama. Ohh my God! And the spirits of this one is really not noble. I do not want the others to believe that Chinese people are like that,(we are better than the ones in this opera). If you are interested in the culture of China, I recommend you to watch other Chinese drama, called Nirvana in Fire. That one is really of good quality. In fact in Nirvana in Fire, every scene is fantastic and eye-catching. More importantly, that drama is really worth the time you spend on. To sum up, please cherish your time, from avoiding the legend of Miyue

Mi yue zhuan is the most interesting stories in the Chinese history

[e-59276 · 10/10 · 15 March 2016]

I think I like the TV series because of the teleplay's interesting title "Mi yue zhuan".I really don't know the Chinese history why it has all kinds of stories. In my opinion, I think the Chinese history that it is so easy life and all people live so comfortable and happiness. But the story "Mi yue zhuan" really change my thinking. As the story I prefer to like the Chinese queen "Mi yue". She uses her wisdom and courage to solve thousands of troubles. No matter what trouble she comes across, she always solves it perfect as her experiences and knowledge. Maybe we can study more wisdom as the TV series with "Mi yue". So I am so love the teleplay "Mi yue zhuan" and if you have a love for Chinese history , you can go to watch it. I believe that you must love it also. It'll touch your heart.

I've developed a deep aversion to Betty Sun Li's dramas

[Bibiliography · 2/10 · 7 December 2022]

With increased irritation, I'm trudging through this dense and boring historical drama hoping something remotely interesting happens, however, it's taking for-fu@king-ver to get plot advancement. It doesn't help that I seem to have developed an intense dislike for, Sun Li, the lead actress who- with all apologies- can't act her way out of a paper bag. I'm sorry but Ms Li's acting is the same in every period drama she's been in. She always does a doe-eyed ingénue who, despite being unfairly treated, goes through life singing kumbaya and has never met a potential enemy she didn't love. Also, she looked her age- mid 30s- and was hardly convincing as some teenager...the men were all old as well. Seriously, who wrote this screenplay? Sigh.

I'll give it a dozen more episodes to see if the pacing and story development move faster otherwise it goes in the dropped category pronto.

I'm craving a new historical drama. I've seen most of them already.

[stressfree-92028 · 10/10 · 10 September 2017]

Really conflicting reviews. I love Asian dramas. Of course, some are better than others. I'm craving a new historical drama right now, so I guess I'll have to try watching this one to see what I think of I--then adjust my rating accordingly.

(If you want to watch a really amazing Chinese movie, you must watch "Red Cliff" Parts I and II. I was truly impressed. It's now one of my favorites.) Take care!

Historical Drama makes me rethink about fiction

[derekwong-80629 · 9/10 · 31 January 2018]

Makes me interested in the the warring period of China where so many interesting events came about. It is the 2nd chinese historical drama i watched and loved since 3 kingdoms.

Despite popular belief

[raspberihevn · 10/10 · 5 January 2019]

2015 was a year of intense chinese historic drama competition. The Legend of Miyue garnered harsh comments and low rating.

I took a chance and discovered from the clothing designs to dialogue to set decor to storyline, Miyue is a spectacular series.

Wild child Miyue was born into a ruthless man's world. She fought against the evil intentions from the women in the harem and struggled to find her place in life. She sought comfort in learning and amassed a wealth of knowledge and life long friendships. Despite her bad circumstances, she persevered and became the most powerful woman in history.

Unbelievably Large Cast in an Epic Intrigue

[cin_kong · 11 February 2022]

In the past decade, The Legend of Mi Yue has been the only Chinese drama I followed, when it aired locally in Canada. I wasn't able to record it, so every night for six months, I watched it as it aired. I was drawn in by the opening theme song. Every episode maintained the same level of intensity nearly to the end. For a fictional historic epic, it had all the characters were intriguing. While Mandarin is not my mother tongue, I would have given up watching it all together. Despite that, it was not that difficult to keep up with the narrative in the important parts. I have seen enough to understanding it.
