If you're thinking of dropping it because of the animation, DON'T! I'm usually a stickler for animation quality and have been unusually unhappy with these low frames per second donghua adaptations that have been saturating the market BUT this one is actually surprisingly good. Unlike most short duration episode donghua in which NOTHING happens in the majority of episodes, this one has great pacing and plot advancement episode-to-episode which makes this 24-episode adaptation feel like it was over too quickly and having you desperate for more. The relationship between the two protagonists is similar to Meng Qi Shi Shen (Cinderella Chef) and Tong Ling Fei(Psychic Princess) where the male protagonist of the tsundere archetype but they open up to the energetic, charming, and free spirited female protagonist. Although the plot elements may be predictable, the ride is still entertaining and fun especially during the comedy scenes where the animators swap to a more chibi-like art styles to drive the point across. This adaptation has changed my mind on low frames per second adaptations. I'll probably stop brushing them off so easily and give more of them a chance.

This is easily on my list of favorite animes to watch. After watching other romance animes there were only a few that really caught my eye in accordance to my all time forever favorites! This is one of those shows. As I first loaded it up, I was sooo disappointed with the animation, as it felt bad, but later I realized how cool it was and just loved the art & animation style as well, it gave it its own path. Not only did it have the romance we want to see, with a great conclusion, it also balanced itself out by guiding usthrough an adventure, some drama, friendships, supernatural events, and all the cool stuff. The story is extremely strong and rich. When it comes to character development this show exceeds expectations, as we get to meet, feel, and develop with most of the cast, including the side ones that just appear in the emperors court rulings. The romance started and developed fluidly. The show concluded at a wonderful pace, I really liked the fact that there was a visual conclusion and they gave us "that" ending! As I was watching the show, I was like "I better see it happen, I hope they include it!" and they did, which is nice and satisfying. Its also nice that they had 2 seasons, and even though the episodes are shorter than usual, a lot happens, and surprisingly it doesn't feel skimmed through. You get all the details, events, and notes needed in one episode. They don't feel short at all. Very engaging, stirs up all kinds of emotion and allows us to see justice happen. I'm new to Chinese anime, and honestly I love the way they know how to create good drama. However, I have realized that sometimes they drag it way too far, but here its balanced, the drama adds to the show rather than take away from it. This and Tong Ling Fei - 10/10

No doubt in us is surprisingly heartwarmingly good!! First of all the artstyle and animation is so crisp and clear and secondly the voice actors were phenomenal. I was pleasantly surprised. As someone who isn’t very accustomed to donghua’s yet I felt very intrigued by it from the first episode. And it’s easy to watch as it’s just 10 mins per episode. If gender bender is your thing then definitely check it out and if it isn’t then too check it out. An emperor and empress swap their body due to some spell cast upon them and it results in a hilarious mess. That’s notit as apart from comedic relief, there’s a serious story in the backdrop and the amazing thing is that they pull it off in just 10 mins per episode. The empress is so much stronger than the emperor and it was an eye candy to see her adept in martial arts and such. The romance element was fantastic too, made we wish for more moments between them.. Do watch it if you’re looking for a light hearted and chill historical anime. I hope the second season will be as good as this was!

i love this show, its so funny. the animation grows on you after a little and is honestly kind of nice to look at. underrated as hell!! please watch it. live love laugh jinming. Story is cliche (ish?) but the characters are super well rounded and amazing that its like somehow 10x better. character development is super well paced and honestly the super silly artsyle fits the overall themes of the show. its a nice casual show just to watch if your feeling bored. episodes arent too long but they dont feel like they are rushing, info dumping ect. anyways i love this show!
