Compared with the wishful court love, "Yan Xi Palace" is much inferior. The Story of Yan Xi Palace is regarded as a "cool drama" by netizens. The road to the summit is smooth and unimpeded, which is more in line with the preferences of modern netizens. However, comparing the major court dramas, we can see that the female host's character is not suitable for survival, especially the court that eats people without blinking an eye. In Yan Xi Palace, the heroine's aura is almost brought to the extreme, and the whole play presents a word: "Shuang".
The life pressure of modern netizens is a bit heavy, and they may come from anywhere. People who are under great pressure hope that their road ahead will be smooth and unimpeded, and The Story of Yan Xi Palace is just in line with this, so it is not difficult to see that The Story of Yan Xi Palace is more favored by young people. Ruyi's Love in the Palace is full of sadness, but modern netizens don't like this gloomy mood, so more netizens like The Story of Yan Xi Palace than Ruyi's Love in the Palace.
Nevertheless, I still want to say a few good words for Ruyi's love in the palace. Ruyi's court love is not only in line with history, but also closer to reality. Ruyi's court love includes all kinds of events in life, including happiness and sadness. This is life. After all, we can't guarantee that we will be as smooth as the heroine in Yan Xi Palace. So I prefer wishful court love.
However, we can't deny that both plays were created by the production team and the actors. No one's efforts will be in vain. Therefore, both plays deserve our admiration.
