Anyone remember Inner Palace: Legend of Zhen Huan? Well, the sequel continues in Inner Palace: Legend of Ruyi .
The drama is based on the marriage of Qianlong Emperor and Empress Ulanara (aka Qingying / Ruyi). There's a total of 90 episodes and will be shown in late 2017.
For more infor on the show see here.
I am most impressed with the cast and hopefully with such cast, and wonderful writing and acting like in Zhen Huan...this show will be another hit (am ignoring the fact that there's 90 episodes)
