This show is a total mess. If you find certain plot points of Yanxi ludicrous, you'll find this show batshit insane. Plot makes 0 sense, character motivations make 0 sense, nothing makes sense. Not sure what's the point of this continuation even? To continue to milk the Yanxi name dry? It's only 6 eps so it doesn't waste that much time, but I would still highly advise against watching this. Acting is meh and the newbie actors aren't enough to salvage this hot mess of a show. If you crave more Palace dramas, watch Ruyi instead. Or better yet, watch Wu Jinyan and Xu Kai's upcoming historical drama if you want to see the continuation of their pairing.
