I'm so disapointed. I read so many good reviews before starting watching Lan Ling Wang, but it seems like I expected way too much...

The story itself isn't bad. The story actually had a great potential, but...
1- Everything was so predictable. I felt like I could predict what the main female character was going to do two episodes before. Hence, I kind of got bored quickly. The episodes are insipid, there's nothing interesting happening.
2- I was disapointed by Lan Ling Wang as well. I thought he was an intelligent man, but from episode 20 to 27, he behaved to stupidily, like what the heck, is he dumb !? And of course Xue Wu forgave him right away even if he did not deserve her forgivness.
3- The main villain of the story, Crown Prince is...... I don't even know how to describe him. He is just not charismatic. I know he is supposed to be the bad AND stupid guy but I really found him useless. Bad characters are supposed to be sadistic or weak and manipulated by some even worse characters. But Crown Prince was none of those.

The ONLY good point of this drama was YUWEN YONG, the emperor. I found him awesome. So strong, but so weak. So cold but so soft. He is not not nice since he is the emperor and has to have his hands dirty but he has a heart. He was so fascinating that he should have been the main male character, instead of Lan Ling.

I stopped watching at episode 30 and I don't know if I'll keep watching this drama. But If I really do, it would be 100% only for Yuwen Yong.
