I love both. But Ruyi got me hooked. The setting, costumes, the way they deliver lines is perfect for me. The drama makes me feel like I am living on the same era. Though Yanxi is really good as well.
Yanxi palace is the reason why my standard in Historical drama is SO HIGH can't get over with it so I'm re watching it hundred of times haha lol like every month!! I'm already watching it before pandemic until now!❤️
that bar is still quite low tho lol... Saying Yanxi Palace brings up standards for historical drama is like saying doing a comprehensive theatre analysis on NYC referencing on only Gossip Girl episodes.
Zhou Xun’s phenomenal performance as Ruyi is one of my favorite works of all time. She felt too insanely, gut wrenchingly, gorgeously real to me. Where other actors would scream and cry, she would painfully hold back tears. Where other actors would scowl and yell in fury, she would fail to conceal a raised eyebrow. Her understated, subtle, and detail oriented acting was incredible to me. this kind of acting requires such mastery and nuance. she made me so much more invested and enamored in Ruyi’s Royal Love in the Palace 🥰
I love ‘Ruyi’s Royal Love in the Palace’ I’ve watched the entire series more than 10 times now. I’m obsessed with the costumes and head dressing and the different shapes and sizes. The acting so elegant and Royal the actors ugh I can’t say enough. I tried watching Yanxi but I just can’t get into it it feels to cartoon anime type show.
That's what you call biased. 10 times🤭? You must love watching evil succeed because that's all that kept happening in that drama. It just wasn't good for my nerves. Too bad because yanxi palace was more historically accurate and did better ratings than any other drama that year. Historically he didn't want ruyi to be empress even though it is said she was without fault. You're not even curious how they portray ruyi in yanxi palace? I gotta admit I liked her in both.
Yes, couldn’t agree more~ Ruyi is more realistic, the actors & actresses did really good job in portraying the characters! & the words/scripts inside Ruyi is deeper, which is a more high quality production compared to Yanxi
@@avolution1660 If It was not good for your nerves, then just fuck off and respect others' opinions. Yanxi has many inaccurate details ( where is the 1st prince and 3rd prince), 4th prince was murdered in the hands of consort Xian (?????) Consort Chun was fallen to Da ying (???) and where is the 8th prince, 9th prince, 10th prine, 11th prince,and other princess??, And sure, 5th prince buried by the Noble consort? And Empress XiaoXianChun and Imperial Noble Consort HuiXian commit suicide ??? And Imperial Noble Consort ChunHui was murdered ??? And consort Rong was changed into Consort Chun ???? and the step empress cut her hair in front of many people ??? really Is that history of what your misfunction brian think ? The step empress became the empress in QianLong year 15, at that time, his throne must be steady, then If he wanted to, he could get her into the empress throne easily, BUT HE DOESN'T WANT? no shit, step empress even got the Imperial Noble Consort "攝六宮事" which means she can control the palace within her hands as the empress , and the time was just after empress XiaoXianChun's death 3 months, then how didn't he want her to be the empress?
I love both shows, but Ruyi love in the Palace has a much better story line and the characters are more developed. Also characters in Yanxi concentrated more on the main leads stories. Unlike in Ruyi's, everyone's story, whether it's the main characters or supporting were better explained, giving the viewers better understanding on what it's all about.
Aa a Filipino , who get hooked watching chinese drama , for me "Story of Yanxi " is the best , I love how they apply game theory to eliminate their enemies ' and the wisdom of ancient Chinese like Sun Tsu
I loved both dramas, even though their take on the historical figures and how history played out was different. As well as the overall tone of each, with Yanxi Palace being a lot more light-hearted and comedic in comparison to Ruyi's Royal Love. However, they both excelled in adding depth to the rivals and/or villains of each drama's heroine. They weren't 2-D evil, but had reasons for their evil actions. It didn't justify the bad they did, but you can see why these things pushed them down those dark paths.
Ruyi is the Chinese drama that I rather sleep late at night to chase & watch! I think the quality of the production is high. The actresses & actors bring me in to the drama, they portrayed the characters very well! The scripts/words are deeper & bring much more emotions. I can say it’s the best palace drama I’ve ever watched. Tho the story is very traumatic but I think that’s more realistic compared to Yanxi. I just couldn’t finish Yanxi bcoz I couldn’t get compromise into the drama as like in Ruyi. Zhouxun really did a very good job in portraying Ruyi.
I enjoyed both series very much and like them both for different reasons. The leads and supporting casts did a phenomenal job. Just finished watching both series back to back and in same order for the third time and still give Ruyi a slight edge. For those who grew up in 90a and watched a lot do Stephen Chow films will know this reference of a silhouette of 2 women dressed in Qing dynasty era dancing to western style urban hip-hop (running man) on Stephen chow's shoulder to James bond theme. Everytime I see the fashion from this era makes me think back to that and lmao off. Ancient Chinese women dancing to 90s hip hop style
Yanxi is the first drama I ever watched I like it but I prefer Ruyi because Ruyi is much more darker and intense and I really love all the actors in Ruyi so much more. Ruyi kept me in my toes the entire time yanxi is soothing when I don’t wanna get into anything tho
Not really, I think if you can stomach watching someone in an abusive marriage for 80+ episodes doesn't make you more mature but more like a glutton for punishment. Ruyi was a class act and I think most people just love her and her relationships more than the actual story.
@@avolution1660 First I was talking about maturity in age….The issue wasn’t so simplistic you can say that about much historical drama and present human relationships. People see abuse in others but not in themselves or their own situations..whether it’s racism, misogyny, cruelty to children, crime, animal abuse it is all over the place…
@@avolution1660 Yeah, welcome to Imperial Chinese Royal Harem life, it's not a love story when the main girl wins the Emperor's heart after defeating everyone on her way and live happily ever after, it's a tragedy for all women.
If you love it great but if you didn't watch both you can't compare. I did and it was good stuff for both but I have serious anxiety so yanxi palace is better for me.
Ruyi captured my hearts, bitter sweet ending, heartfelt moments and the delivery from everyone was just crazy every moment felt intense and meaningful even when a character dies they expressed so much. I could keep rewatchingRuyi and never get bored
If that's supposed to be humanity then it's extremely depressing. My favorite part ended up being lady jai and her dogs. I don't think you watched yanxi palace. I watched both, they both had great characters (yanxi did better) and ruyi royal love had me more angry than anything and there was no love. I don't like animal abuse, child abuse or pollution so I couldn't like watching ruyi get abused all over the palace. If I want realism I'd go watch a documentary
@@avolution1660 Yanxi has better characters than Ruyi? Where? When? Who? The main character is basically a Mary Sue played by a bad actress, her acting was appalling I can't. And in which era in Chinese history does a maid raise her voice at the Emperor, call him a prostitute and get away with it? How did she summon a freaking lightning strike on that woman? And why does she always outsmarts everyone and has the last laugh? Yeah, because that's called lazy writing, pathetic. Ruyi doesn't have lazy writing, Ruyi doesn't have a Mary Sue, Ruyi doesn't have badly written one dimensional characters, Ruyi doesn't have ridiculous plot that makes no sense, Ruyi doesn't do fan service for making the main girl win everytime. Ruyi is a realistic tragic story that reminds people that nothing good can come from a period that encouraged polygamy marriage where women were seen as reproducing tools and all power lies in the palm of one man, so yeah, you're not supposed to feel joy after watching it.
@@phannhan2024 Such a show should not be called "Ruyi's Royal Love in Palace" it should be called "Ruyi's Royal Failure to find Love and Getting Tortured instead in Palace." I absolutely felt disgusted that such high production value was wasted on a typical tragedy story we have seen 10000 times in c-dramas since 1980s. Yanxi gave something new to look forward to, and I hope future C-dramas realize the time has come to start having strong and smart female leads like Yanxi for the next generation. Yanxi doesn't lie and pretend to be a "love story". it is a story about revenge. Ruyi lies about being a love story, and instead gives you hours and hours of emotional torture instead, and ends up with the main character giving up on love and marriage in the end.
@@ahsanmahendra4164 1. Empress XiaoXian did not commit suicide (suicide is considered a big offence in the harem and may inflict punishment to their clansmen). She died during the Eastern tours. Accurate to Ru Yi 2. There’s no such twin sister of Concubine Jia lol. 3. The social status of an opera singer is inferior to even a prostitute. Concubine Gao wouldn’t be possible to know how to sing Chinese operas. 4. The concubine that was killed by Ying Luo using the lightning in fact lived up to the age of 94. YanXi is far less logical and far less accurate to historical context lol
I very much prefer Ruyi's Royal Love In The Palace. It's my absolute favourite historical cdrama, with Story of Minglan being a close second. Everything about the product is flawless from the scenery and the props to the acting and costumes. The music and filmscore are also exquisite. I also love the changes from the novel, like Ruyi being vindicated before she died, and her dying of illness rather than suicide. It's was a beautifully-told tragic love story that's hauntingly realistic (at least to life, even if not historically). Ruyi utterly bruised my heart, but it was a painful ending that was poignantly perfect. For me, Yanxi was more like a light snack to Ruyi's main feast.
Ruyi was a story of love, tragedy, hope and the corrupting effects of power. Very powerful and brings home to one the difficulties of life at that level
Yanxi palace is brighter and lighter as if in a fairytale, Ruyi is more realistic and it brings up real human emotions and behavior esp the portrayal of the emperor on how he was a womanizer and egotistic person. Being inside the imperial palace is not all glitz and glamour, its survival of the fittest thats why they are all brutal in some ways.
The only emotion ruyi's love brought out of me was stress, anger and depression. I almost shed a tear when her son talked to his dead beat daddy about his mom dying. With yanxi I felt excitement, hope, anger, longing, happiness and sadness. Not to mention that yanxi is actually more historically accurate so what were you saying about realism?🤭 I always look up the history because some dramas are just that, DRAMA😒
@@avolution1660 realistic doesn't mean it's historically accurate. Yanxi's costume might be accurate but the plot also aren't accurate to history. Both aren't accurate but Ruyi's more realistic. Realistically and accurately speaking, if Yingluo exist irl, she'll beheaded in no time since the emperor didn't like such sassy servants (when they're still not favoured). If the opposite happens to Ruyi she might not be the emperor's favourite but she'll atleast survive just fine (like consort Wan).
It sure was🙂 Its so rare to switch love interest in a drama and still love the result. The women were awesome villains and the emperor wasn't easily led astray. Lady jai and lady yu were great in ruyi's royal love and ruyi herself was awesome but nothing else was gripping about it. It just made me angry. I'd like to say I loved them both but I didn't because I'm very sensitive to evil prevailing over and over again, so Ruyi was okay but Yanxi was great and well rounded, I watched it twice and will do so again.
Thanks for them both. Both so very good. So love Ruyi. Thanks so very much, I really appreciate you sharing this so very much. I must have missed one of the important men character. However so happy you cleared up a lot of the mystery for me.🌹
I like Ruyi royal love way more than Yanxi palace. The Yanxi palace tries to fit romance where it doesn't belong. If I want to watch a good romance drama I would not watch Yanxi palace. Ruyi story on the other hand is beautifully told.
Wasn't nothing beautiful about that horrible marriage, just trauma. I actually got a stomach ache from it. Never again but I did like ruyi and other great characters.
@@avolution1660 The marriage is obviously horrible but as the comment said, it was beautifully told. It's kinda like a serious depressing slice of life drama. It's really beautiful and sad.
I saw one short video of yanxi palace then I watched it after finishing I came to knew about ruyi royal love then I watched it but I like both versions.. yanxi gives happy vibes and ruyi gives sad vibes... ruyi actress and actors are so beautiful and I like their hairpieces costumes 😍😍😍...
Chinese drama actors are so good looking. Also their expensive exquisite costumes, detailed historical settings, story plots and soundtrack are top! Everything💯❤️
Prefiero Ruyi, actuación, puesta en escena, escenarios, trajes, guión, historia, etc. Me parece más lograda, los actores dan la impresión que toda la vida, han usado esos trajes, y tocados, en resumen, me parece por lejos, mucho mejor.
The characters were acting very well.. I hated both dowagers equally. Both ling uu chi and fuheng were done well, and I loved fuheng character wanting them to be togethet.The ling uu chi character was harder because the character was an underling and had to hide any expression of love, whereas fuheng was a general of high ranking family with more leeway. Both programs were well done but again my favorite would have to go with yanxi palace. Thank you
Yanxi is my personal favorite.... Maybe i watch it few times already, i love watching C-drama specially historical drama... Somehow i like Yanxi atleast the Female and Male Lead have happy Ending 😅... mostly historical drma have Sad Ending 😭.... If u love Historical Drama watch try to watch 1st) Empress in the Palace ( story of Empress Dowager of Yanxi Palace, Qianlong's Mother) this one is nice story too though on YT not all episodes have Subtitles i think in 55 up No Subtitles. 2) Ruyi ( Life of Second Empress) 3) Yanxi.. ( happy Ending for Me) 4) Legend of Ming Yue ( kind a Sad Ending but i love how she survived and Become an Empress Dowager in the End) 5) Empress China ( the 1st female Emperor, U can watch it in YT too.
Thanks I'll check them out. Try some Korean drama too, like: Empress Ki, Jewel in the palace, Six flying dragons. All based on historical characters and they all have decent endings.
@@avolution1660 i like Empress K too since i love both the FL and ML, but i think among the historical drama i watched in K-drama Dong Yi is my favorite....
I saw in another UA-camr that the reason they banned them is because the people in Weibo started conversing like the people in the drama. The way they talk about broader subjects, how it affects everyone and more. Censorship is super strict in China so when the censors saw it, they immediately took action. It's like how they're banning BL's since The Untamed and Word of Honor blew up locally and internationally.
@BlackVenus I was gonna say the same thing. I think they did that in korea with six flying dragons because it was so popular but painted a different view of history making at least 2 respected historical figures bad guys😄
Don't know why but I couldn't bring myself to watch Yanxi palace, while loving Ruyi so much. There's something about directions, hence different actings. I watched only a few clips from Yanxi and felt it's kinda ridiculous. Also makeup didn't do justice to the actors somehow. For why I love Ruyi - because I can relate to many things in there. Love hurts and something like that.
I am the same for Ruyi, kinda got used to Yanxi Palace's style because Ruyi's to bright.. But at least I tried to watch like.. 20 episodes or something..
You prefer Ruyi because you don't have regard in history. Historically speaking, the story and costume in Yanxi Palace is more accurate. Although Ruyi's costume is beautiful and accurate, that fashion were from later era. My point of view is from someone who studied history and seen the actual costumes from that era in museum.
Ruyi Royal Love is totally beautiful, the places, acting, dressing are so detailed. More realistic, beautiful photography, it feels like movie. I prefer Ruyi
I like both dramas, but I prefer the Emperor, the Empress and Consort Ling (Wei Yingluo) from Yanxi Palace, while in Ruyi's Love at the Palace I just prefer Ruyi herself. I also prefer Empress Fuca from Yanxi Palace.
My personal take on these 2 dramas. Both were during Qianlong’s reign. I watched Ruyi first and liked it. So started to look for “Yanxi” to watch (this year) since it was so popular then. After watching Yanxi, I “fell in love with it” and watched it again & again. But I couldn’t bring myself to watch Ruyi again because it’s very sad (太残忍了). Costumes wise, I prefer Yanxi’s dressing. Admit though that not all the actresses in Yanxi are pretty enough. But then, it’s the drama as a whole (& not just pretty faces).
I 100% agree with you, same. Watched ruyi first and it broke my heart over and over. Yanxi is just such a nice watch especially when you watch it for the second or third time. But ruyi will break my heart I don't think I'll ever be able to re watch that show
I love these Chinese dramas!! Thank you so much for bringing us your video. They are all so different and still beautiful in their present day pictures!
Creo que la verdad está en algún lugar entre ambas series, es decir, son doramas, no documentales...para mí Ruyi's es la mejor, la actuación, el vestuario, locaciones, es un todo, además de que las personas parecen personas, no son como caricatura, que me parecen en Yanxi. Además, al fin puedo entender lo que significa ser una dama en todo el sentido de la expresión, no sólo hermosas, sino que extremadamente inteligentes, capaces, talentosas e increíblemente cultas, una maravilla
I love both of the drama but yanxi palace was my fave. Watched it for like three times. Also watch Royal feast if you cant get enough with yingluo and fuheng it is available here in yt.
Me vi ambas, y aunque Ruyi es muy buena y mas apegada a la historia original, Yanxhi Palace es muy superior en terminos de construccion de personajes, guion y actores. Al emperador de Ruyi lo odiaba, siempre lo senti como el villano de la historia, mientras que el emperador de Yanxhi palace..... waoh es simplemente impecable, atractivo, astuto e imponente, al punto q puedes ignorar el hecho de que ...tambien es el villano en la vida de todas estas hermosas y astutas mujeres
I'm surprised by the comments as I like Yanxi Palace way more than Ruyi. While both are full of court (/harem) intrigues and women competing against each others, Yanxi also has Wei Yingluo's personal quest in the begining with her sister and different dinamics with her starting point as a maid, while in Ruyi it feels way more as a soap opera with mean girls (emperor included) against the protagonist, just because it's sad doesn't mean it's darker or more profound. I also prefer Yanxi's emperor (obviously) and Yingluo who is crafty, pro-active and not love-focused. The emperess Nara also feels more dynamic and 3 dimensional in Yanxi, in my opinion, she does love the emperor, but it's not only his love (or lack of) that shapes her, but her childhood upbringing and family, her expirience in the palace with her morals... Not saying that Yanxi is perfect, but it seems more dynamic and interesting for me.
I discovered these dramas in the last few months. I have to admit I ache for Ruyi. I found her journey painful to watch. I began the Yanxi feeling a bit heavy-hearted but the story went a different way and I enjoyed the more playful aspect of the show. I've not been able to watch the whole Ruyi version. I get so irate when the women are all against Ruyi and all she wanted was his love and happiness. During the shows where Ruyi was feisty, I loved them so much.
Thank you, I loved ruyi, yu and jai performances but the story was too painful for me. Yanxi was well rounded and had a good ending, I love strong female leads but with wei yinglou she wasn't taking anybody's evil deeds and that resonates with more than suffering in silence. Both Ruyi and Wei yinglou taught me about patience and grace.
Seria interesante que lo tradujeran. Yo también me di cuenta que los dos doramas tienen los mismos personajes pero están elaborados y/o narrados desde diferentes puntos de vista; uno es el punto de vista de la segunda Emperatriz y el otro está basado desde el punto de vista de la amante preferida del emperador que luego, que ella fallece, su hijo la nombra Emperatriz.
Before watching both I saw clips, highlights anfand couldn't bring myself to watch Ruyi. I've wanted Yanxi Palace thrice I love the fact that she loved was loyal and dangerously smart. She payed back whoever Ruyis abused life although I couldn't bring myself to watch the whole drama the clips were enough to leave my heart broken
Don't watch it, you're lucky. I actually wish I'd just watched clips but I saw up to 70 episodes and had to go. It's so depressing and stressful. Not worth it. I loved yanxi palace. Lifes hard enough without watching a woman get abused for 80+ episodes
Genial tu video, gracias! Los protagonistas de Ruyi y todo el elenco despertaron mi interés por seguir la serie. Los vi a ambos, pero Ruyi's Royal... parecía más cercano a la realidad principalmente por la personalidad del emperador, por todo lo que he leído sobre Qianlong, Ruyi me parece más real. Pero ambos son buenos. Además, Ruyi todavía despierta mi interés por verlo más a menudo. mientras que Yanxi lo vio una vez y eso fue suficiente para mí.👏👏😍
I like both dramas but I do find Ruyi's version more colorful. But am I the only one who thought that Imperial Noble Consort Huiyian is Noble Lady Jia???
I watched Yanxi and loved it. People say it’s too far from reality but I’m watching it for the plot, characters, pacing. Some day when I’m not on the edge of depression I’ll watch Ruyi. I think the cast and cinematography looks beautiful, and I’m sure the writing is great. I just don’t know if I’m ready for that kind of ending.
Yanxi palace was a near perfect drama. Ruyi had some good things also but it lacked romance, intelligence, justice, tear jerking scenes, funny eunuchs/maids and great villains. I stopped around episode 70 for my health, its not good to upset myself over a drama so I quit dramas that have negative endings.
RLitP is more realistic though, (and to be honest slightly better acting) but I can understand not everybody wants that. Also visual is better... I still enjoyed Yanxy sans problem :)
When you said Ruyi lacked of those is like... Why is there Ruyi at first place if it has to be like Yanxi? Why not question Yanxi is not like Ruyi? I guess you think too much of your personal preference rather than enjoying 2 total different stories.
Could not believe Ruyi's Royal Love because the emperor was so goofy. He listened to eunuchs and his daughter. I couldn't believe this man was superi9r to Kanxi.
I love both shows!!! Ruyi has a more serious-melancholic tone with a bittersweet ending (more on the bitter side), while Yanxi Palace has a more fun comedic tone with some seriousness slipped in with a more sweet than bitter ending. Although i did see some people accusing Yanxi of copying Ruyi while Ruyi’s producers were cutting down on extra episodes
I saw all the episodes of Yanxi palace , but I didn't like the main actress, nor the character of that strange eunuch. I love Ruyi Royal Love much more.
Ruyi is my fave without a doubt. My top C Drama, in fact. It's hard for me to watch Yanxi bc Ruyi's Ling Fei was hateful and I couldn't help but carry that bias to Yanxi's Ling Fei. I find the actors more compelling and the costume and production design better in Ruyi too. (And to be shallow for a minute, the actors in Ruyi are more appealing to me visually ;;;) But most of all, Zhou Xun's Ruyi is just everything to me. She's miles ahead of everyone in terms of acting.
Ruyi in palace cinema and actresses were more diverse and beautiful, also story wise it madd lot more sense then the other, their was more then just revenge and harem drama, ling in ruyi her development and claimbing up ranks made more sense then in yaxin palace
Ruyi make me want to start my studies and learn chinese language. Haha My husband doesn't like this kind of drama (we're brazilians) but he loves watching Ruyi with me.
I loved Yanxi Palace. Ruyi's Love was too sad and I hated the Consort Ling character. I disliked it so much I don't like the actress when I see her in other dramas.
Son dos dramas diferentes con la los mismos personajes históricos no, pero con diferente historia? En esta quien se lleva el amor del emperador. En el amor real de ruyi pues ella no? Y esta quien y cuál es la que corresponde al drama de ruyi
Some people in this comment sections are so fixated on "HiSTOriCallY CorReCTNeSS" and trying to downplay Ruyi for it, but sorry to break it to you all but it was Yanxi that is a disgrace to real history. Ruyi’s creators never claimed that their show were historically correct, nor they tried to make it so, it’s based on a novel, it’s fiction, not a history textbook. Yanxi’s director and fanbase on the other hand looove preaching about how aligned with history they are but when looking carefully and doing a full on comparison and you’d realize they’re full of $h!t. 1/ Where is Fuca Empress’s only daughter Princess Gurun Hejing in Yanxi? In real history record she outlived most of Qianlong’s children and had a huge influence during his reign yet she doesn’t even exist in Yanxi. And where are 1st Prince Yonghuang and 3rd Prince Yongzhang? They all lived ‘til way into their 20s, where are they in Yanxi? 2/ Imperial Noble Consort Chunhui had 3 kids, yet in Yanxi she only has 6th Prince and somehow is able to keep her virginity years after being a concubine in Yanxi, WTF? 3/ What on Earth are Senior Ja and Junior Ja Consort? Imperial Noble Consort Shuja was ONE person in history, and she was from a even nobler family than Noble Consort Huixian, so the idea that her having to rely on Consort Huixian to survive is laughable. 4/ Concubine Shun lost her virginity, has a kid and still gets offered to become the Emperor’s concubine. I mean, seriously? 5/ There are 3 of the King’s wives commit suicide in Yanxi, including Fuca Empress herself. Do you even know what a felony it was for an Empress or concubine to commit suicide? They’d be ripped all of their titles and have their maternal family heavily punished, no matter what position they held when alive. Fuca Rongyin walking barefoot in a nightgown jumping to her death? This is an atrocity. 6/ A maid who runs around the Forbidden City like a lunatic, always ready to raise her voice against the masters and talk back at them, yelling at the Emperor, calling him a prostitute and then get away with it because “she saved him from being sick”? That almost never happens, anywhere in history. Should you watch Ruyi to see what happen to an EMPRESS after she talks back at the Emperor. 7/ There’s a huge Empress’s Consecration Ceremony for Ruyi, while Sushen becomes an Empress in front of a mirror, LOL. And these are only a few I can collect from mere memory to indicate how ridiculous and laughable some Yanxi’s fans’ ignorance is, there’s ton more. This Yanxi show is a total garbage bin yet you still have the the guts to compare it to the masterpiece that is Ruyi’s Love In The Palace, I must applaud your terrible taste in arts.
I never watch full episodes of Ruyi, but I think they focused their storylines on different Characters with Yanxi. Ruyi focused on Consort Xian (Ruyi maybe in Ruyi) while Yanxi focused on Wei Yinglou. It's normal that if the storyline is focused on different characters they must develop different plots.
Ruyi's Royal Love is deep and mature. A lot of lesson to learn. Characters are more appealing, appropriate, and with grace. Truly I can see and appreciate the culture.
Both they were great we know that Rudy's it's real and the historian put her in the books of the real history, they try to find her pictures , I believes that they found it!
Ruyi's story is a realistic, profound and very well crafted piece of historical fiction, Yanxi just cannot compare, sorry to anyone who prefer Yanxi but just the fact. Maybe it's fun for kids and teenagers to watch but that ends there. Yanxi's plot, theme and characters are much more shallow, one dimensional, childish and ridiculous, the schemes are very half-assed and illogical if you really think about it, they're mostly quick and petty retaliations on one another rather than thoughtful and longterm plans like in Ruyi. The characters in Yanxi are absolute bores that are only bads and only goods with so little depth of personality or development, maybe except for the second Empress, while Ruyi has a wide set of morally grey characters. Ruyi as a protagonist is not some overpowered Mary Sue who runs around shouting and winning, Ying Luo on the other hand is overall a bad character played by a bad actress.
I prefer Yanxi Palace..i watch full episodes many many times and I'm still going over it when I'm bored. Ruyi is nothing but regular Cdrama- all scheming
However, but the acting standard of a palace in Yanxi totally failed, Yingluo's characteristic is too loud. No courtesy of historical manners. Maybe fun for my younger sister to watch. Even regular Cdrama Switch of Fate has better story and plot than Yanxi

Watching Ruyi is like watching classic beautiful tragic opera. The setting & costumes alone had me hooked. The women in Ruyi were EVERYTHING!
I also dont like the lighting and the costumes at yanxi
I love both. But Ruyi got me hooked. The setting, costumes, the way they deliver lines is perfect for me. The drama makes me feel like I am living on the same era. Though Yanxi is really good as well.
Qǐlái ba
Yanxi palace is the reason why my standard in Historical drama is SO HIGH can't get over with it so I'm re watching it hundred of times haha lol like every month!! I'm already watching it before pandemic until now!❤️
that bar is still quite low tho lol... Saying Yanxi Palace brings up standards for historical drama is like saying doing a comprehensive theatre analysis on NYC referencing on only Gossip Girl episodes.
Same see u in the comments 😂
Fr i used to hate historical stuff but when i saw the yanxi palace i kinda got into it, its pretty much addicting too

Zhou Xun’s phenomenal performance as Ruyi is one of my favorite works of all time.
She felt too insanely, gut wrenchingly, gorgeously real to me. Where other actors would scream and cry, she would painfully hold back tears. Where other actors would scowl and yell in fury, she would fail to conceal a raised eyebrow. Her understated, subtle, and detail oriented acting was incredible to me. this kind of acting requires such mastery and nuance.
she made me so much more invested and enamored in Ruyi’s Royal Love in the Palace 🥰
Ruyi for me the actress that played ruyi was so mesmerising
I love ‘Ruyi’s Royal Love in the Palace’ I’ve watched the entire series more than 10 times now. I’m obsessed with the costumes and head dressing and the different shapes and sizes. The acting so elegant and Royal the actors ugh I can’t say enough. I tried watching Yanxi but I just can’t get into it it feels to cartoon anime type show.

Too bad because yanxi palace was more historically accurate and did better ratings than any other drama that year.
Historically he didn't want ruyi to be empress even though it is said she was without fault.
You're not even curious how they portray ruyi in yanxi palace? I gotta admit I liked her in both.
Yes, couldn’t agree more~
Ruyi is more realistic, the actors & actresses did really good job in portraying the characters! & the words/scripts inside Ruyi is deeper, which is a more high quality production compared to Yanxi
@@avolution1660 If It was not good for your nerves, then just fuck off and respect others' opinions.
Yanxi has many inaccurate details ( where is the 1st prince and 3rd prince), 4th prince was murdered in the hands of consort Xian (?????) Consort Chun was fallen to Da ying (???) and where is the 8th prince, 9th prince, 10th prine, 11th prince,and other princess??, And sure, 5th prince buried by the Noble consort? And Empress XiaoXianChun and Imperial Noble Consort HuiXian commit suicide ??? And Imperial Noble Consort ChunHui was murdered ??? And consort Rong was changed into Consort Chun ???? and the step empress cut her hair in front of many people ??? really Is that history of what your misfunction brian think ?
The step empress became the empress in QianLong year 15, at that time, his throne must be steady, then If he wanted to, he could get her into the empress throne easily, BUT HE DOESN'T WANT? no shit, step empress even got the Imperial Noble Consort "攝六宮事" which means she can control the palace within her hands as the empress , and the time was just after empress XiaoXianChun's death 3 months, then how didn't he want her to be the empress?
Yess yanxi lightning and costumes were a alot compared to the natural flow of Ruyi
Which app can I use to watch Ruyi Royal Love in Palace?
I love both shows, but Ruyi love in the Palace has a much better story line and the characters are more developed. Also characters in Yanxi concentrated more on the main leads stories. Unlike in Ruyi's, everyone's story, whether it's the main characters or supporting were better explained, giving the viewers better understanding on what it's all about.
Aa a Filipino , who get hooked watching chinese drama , for me "Story of Yanxi " is the best , I love how they apply game theory to eliminate their enemies ' and the wisdom of ancient Chinese like Sun Tsu
Sameee I'm a Filipino too
I loved both dramas, even though their take on the historical figures and how history played out was different. As well as the overall tone of each, with Yanxi Palace being a lot more light-hearted and comedic in comparison to Ruyi's Royal Love. However, they both excelled in adding depth to the rivals and/or villains of each drama's heroine. They weren't 2-D evil, but had reasons for their evil actions. It didn't justify the bad they did, but you can see why these things pushed them down those dark paths.
Ruyi is the Chinese drama that I rather sleep late at night to chase & watch! I think the quality of the production is high. The actresses & actors bring me in to the drama, they portrayed the characters very well! The scripts/words are deeper & bring much more emotions. I can say it’s the best palace drama I’ve ever watched. Tho the story is very traumatic but I think that’s more realistic compared to Yanxi. I just couldn’t finish Yanxi bcoz I couldn’t get compromise into the drama as like in Ruyi. Zhouxun really did a very good job in portraying Ruyi.
I enjoyed both series very much and like them both for different reasons. The leads and supporting casts did a phenomenal job. Just finished watching both series back to back and in same order for the third time and still give Ruyi a slight edge. For those who grew up in 90a and watched a lot do Stephen Chow films will know this reference of a silhouette of 2 women dressed in Qing dynasty era dancing to western style urban hip-hop (running man) on Stephen chow's shoulder to James bond theme. Everytime I see the fashion from this era makes me think back to that and lmao off. Ancient Chinese women dancing to 90s hip hop style
All the actors are good!
In my country Japan, Yanxi is more popular.
I like both of them.
Yanxi is the first drama I ever watched I like it but I prefer Ruyi because Ruyi is much more darker and intense and I really love all the actors in Ruyi so much more. Ruyi kept me in my toes the entire time yanxi is soothing when I don’t wanna get into anything tho
Ruyi is a more mature detailed drama Yanxi is great for a younger audience..but both should be watched they are excellent in their own way…
Not really, I think if you can stomach watching someone in an abusive marriage for 80+ episodes doesn't make you more mature but more like a glutton for punishment.
Ruyi was a class act and I think most people just love her and her relationships more than the actual story.
@@avolution1660 First I was talking about maturity in age….The issue wasn’t so simplistic you can say that about much historical drama and present human relationships. People see abuse in others but not in themselves or their own situations..whether it’s racism, misogyny, cruelty to children, crime, animal abuse it is all over the place…
@@avolution1660 Yeah, welcome to Imperial Chinese Royal Harem life, it's not a love story when the main girl wins the Emperor's heart after defeating everyone on her way and live happily ever after, it's a tragedy for all women.
Ruyi is definitely my favourite I love everyone in the drama even the bad characters.
If you love it great but if you didn't watch both you can't compare.
I did and it was good stuff for both but I have serious anxiety so yanxi palace is better for me.
Ruyi captured my hearts, bitter sweet ending, heartfelt moments and the delivery from everyone was just crazy every moment felt intense and meaningful even when a character dies they expressed so much. I could keep rewatchingRuyi and never get bored
I prefer the scenario Ruyi's Love in the palace, it's more reasonable, humanity, and logic, so smooth to describe every characters
History is different. Wei yan wan died after many years ruyi dead.
If that's supposed to be humanity then it's extremely depressing. My favorite part ended up being lady jai and her dogs.
I don't think you watched yanxi palace. I watched both, they both had great characters (yanxi did better) and ruyi royal love had me more angry than anything and there was no love.
I don't like animal abuse, child abuse or pollution so I couldn't like watching ruyi get abused all over the palace. If I want realism I'd go watch a documentary
@@ahsanmahendra4164 in the Ruyi drama, Consort Ling did die years after Ruyi.
@@avolution1660
Yanxi has better characters than Ruyi? Where? When? Who? The main character is basically a Mary Sue played by a bad actress, her acting was appalling I can't. And in which era in Chinese history does a maid raise her voice at the Emperor, call him a prostitute and get away with it? How did she summon a freaking lightning strike on that woman? And why does she always outsmarts everyone and has the last laugh? Yeah, because that's called lazy writing, pathetic. Ruyi doesn't have lazy writing, Ruyi doesn't have a Mary Sue, Ruyi doesn't have badly written one dimensional characters, Ruyi doesn't have ridiculous plot that makes no sense, Ruyi doesn't do fan service for making the main girl win everytime.
Ruyi is a realistic tragic story that reminds people that nothing good can come from a period that encouraged polygamy marriage where women were seen as reproducing tools and all power lies in the palm of one man, so yeah, you're not supposed to feel joy after watching it.
@@phannhan2024 Such a show should not be called "Ruyi's Royal Love in Palace" it should be called "Ruyi's Royal Failure to find Love and Getting Tortured instead in Palace."
I absolutely felt disgusted that such high production value was wasted on a typical tragedy story we have seen 10000 times in c-dramas since 1980s.
Yanxi gave something new to look forward to, and I hope future C-dramas realize the time has come to start having strong and smart female leads like Yanxi for the next generation.
Yanxi doesn't lie and pretend to be a "love story". it is a story about revenge. Ruyi lies about being a love story, and instead gives you hours and hours of emotional torture instead, and ends up with the main character giving up on love and marriage in the end.
I think Ruyi is more realistic than Yanxi
Agree.
According to the history script, yanxi palace is more accurate.
@@ahsanmahendra4164 I'm pretty sure a maid acting like Wei Yinglou back in those days would get their head chopped off immediately.
@@KingOfThePirates101 well @Ahsan Mahendra doesn't know anything about chinese history, so they only know bullshits...
@@ahsanmahendra4164
1. Empress XiaoXian did not commit suicide (suicide is considered a big offence in the harem and may inflict punishment to their clansmen). She died during the Eastern tours. Accurate to Ru Yi
2. There’s no such twin sister of Concubine Jia lol.
3. The social status of an opera singer is inferior to even a prostitute. Concubine Gao wouldn’t be possible to know how to sing Chinese operas.
4. The concubine that was killed by Ying Luo using the lightning in fact lived up to the age of 94.
YanXi is far less logical and far less accurate to historical context lol
I prefer watching Ruyi's Love in the palace🤗🤗🤗
me too (^^)/
story of yanxi palace is also interesting!!
After watching Yangxi, I had the first thought but Yangxi is better for me. A lot of of thinking. Ruyi is nothing but trauma. Lol
so mee
@@ThatGmoney yeah, ruyi is full of killing royal heirs and care abt power while yanxi palace its all about surviving and fighting favor.
I just found ruyi because of yanxi i already watch yanxi several times. And i can't get over in palace war and strong female lead 😅
I very much prefer Ruyi's Royal Love In The Palace. It's my absolute favourite historical cdrama, with Story of Minglan being a close second. Everything about the product is flawless from the scenery and the props to the acting and costumes. The music and filmscore are also exquisite. I also love the changes from the novel, like Ruyi being vindicated before she died, and her dying of illness rather than suicide. It's was a beautifully-told tragic love story that's hauntingly realistic (at least to life, even if not historically). Ruyi utterly bruised my heart, but it was a painful ending that was poignantly perfect.
For me, Yanxi was more like a light snack to Ruyi's main feast.
Ruyi was a story of love, tragedy, hope and the corrupting effects of power. Very powerful and brings home to one the difficulties of life at that level
For me the iconic one is ruyi cause of the female lead acting top tier actress!
Yanxi favourite of all times watched it 6x
I like the cast of Royi's royal love...they are great in acting
Yanxi palace is brighter and lighter as if in a fairytale, Ruyi is more realistic and it brings up real human emotions and behavior esp the portrayal of the emperor on how he was a womanizer and egotistic person. Being inside the imperial palace is not all glitz and glamour, its survival of the fittest thats why they are all brutal in some ways.
The only emotion ruyi's love brought out of me was stress, anger and depression. I almost shed a tear when her son talked to his dead beat daddy about his mom dying.
With yanxi I felt excitement, hope, anger, longing, happiness and sadness.
Not to mention that yanxi is actually more historically accurate so what were you saying about realism?🤭
I always look up the history because some dramas are just that, DRAMA😒
@@avolution1660 thats your opinion, i have mine ☺️
@@avolution1660 realistic doesn't mean it's historically accurate. Yanxi's costume might be accurate but the plot also aren't accurate to history. Both aren't accurate but Ruyi's more realistic.
Realistically and accurately speaking, if Yingluo exist irl, she'll beheaded in no time since the emperor didn't like such sassy servants (when they're still not favoured). If the opposite happens to Ruyi she might not be the emperor's favourite but she'll atleast survive just fine (like consort Wan).
Yanxi Palace was made perfectly and that is why I'm still watching to this day. It is the best Cdrama
One of the best c drama
I love it too. And have watched it so many times over.
True i have binge watched it for like 3 times
It sure was🙂 Its so rare to switch love interest in a drama and still love the result. The women were awesome villains and the emperor wasn't easily led astray.
Lady jai and lady yu were great in ruyi's royal love and ruyi herself was awesome but nothing else was gripping about it. It just made me angry.
I'd like to say I loved them both but I didn't because I'm very sensitive to evil prevailing over and over again, so Ruyi was okay but Yanxi was great and well rounded, I watched it twice and will do so again.
Ruyi is a jewel of a drama! Wonderful script, characters, costumes, and actors.
Ruyi's Royal Love In The Palace for me
Ruyi forever👑
Thanks for them both. Both so very good. So love Ruyi. Thanks so very much, I really appreciate you sharing this so very much. I must have missed one of the important men character. However so happy you cleared up a lot of the mystery for me.🌹
I like Ruyi royal love way more than Yanxi palace. The Yanxi palace tries to fit romance where it doesn't belong. If I want to watch a good romance drama I would not watch Yanxi palace. Ruyi story on the other hand is beautifully told.
Wasn't nothing beautiful about that horrible marriage, just trauma. I actually got a stomach ache from it. Never again but I did like ruyi and other great characters.
@@avolution1660 The marriage is obviously horrible but as the comment said, it was beautifully told. It's kinda like a serious depressing slice of life drama. It's really beautiful and sad.
I saw one short video of yanxi palace then I watched it after finishing I came to knew about ruyi royal love then I watched it but I like both versions.. yanxi gives happy vibes and ruyi gives sad vibes... ruyi actress and actors are so beautiful and I like their hairpieces costumes 😍😍😍...
Chinese drama actors are so good looking. Also their expensive exquisite costumes, detailed historical settings, story plots and soundtrack are top! Everything💯❤️
Prefiero Ruyi, actuación, puesta en escena, escenarios, trajes, guión, historia, etc. Me parece más lograda, los actores dan la impresión que toda la vida, han usado esos trajes, y tocados, en resumen, me parece por lejos, mucho mejor.
According to the historical scripts, the Empress Xiaoxianchun portrayed in Yanxi series is more accurate.
Looks like it.
The Empress Xiaoxianchun in Yanxi is very popular around me.
The characters were acting very well.. I hated both dowagers equally. Both ling uu chi and fuheng were done well, and I loved fuheng character wanting them to be togethet.The ling uu chi character was harder because the character was an underling and had to hide any expression of love, whereas fuheng was a general of high ranking family with more leeway. Both programs were well done but again my favorite would have to go with yanxi palace. Thank you
Yanxi is my personal favorite.... Maybe i watch it few times already, i love watching C-drama specially historical drama... Somehow i like Yanxi atleast the Female and Male Lead have happy Ending 😅... mostly historical drma have Sad Ending 😭.... If u love Historical Drama watch try to watch
1st) Empress in the Palace ( story of Empress Dowager of Yanxi Palace, Qianlong's Mother) this one is nice story too though on YT not all episodes have Subtitles i think in 55 up No Subtitles.
2) Ruyi ( Life of Second Empress)
3) Yanxi.. ( happy Ending for Me)
4) Legend of Ming Yue ( kind a Sad Ending but i love how she survived and Become an Empress Dowager in the End)
5) Empress China ( the 1st female Emperor, U can watch it in YT too.
I think they are all masterpieces
I do the same, I watch it again and again
Thanks I'll check them out. Try some Korean drama too, like: Empress Ki, Jewel in the palace, Six flying dragons. All based on historical characters and they all have decent endings.
@@avolution1660 i like Empress K too since i love both the FL and ML, but i think among the historical drama i watched in K-drama Dong Yi is my favorite....
These women are all just beautiful.
I saw in another UA-camr that the reason they banned them is because the people in Weibo started conversing like the people in the drama. The way they talk about broader subjects, how it affects everyone and more. Censorship is super strict in China so when the censors saw it, they immediately took action. It's like how they're banning BL's since The Untamed and Word of Honor blew up locally and internationally.
@BlackVenus I was gonna say the same thing. I think they did that in korea with six flying dragons because it was so popular but painted a different view of history making at least 2 respected historical figures bad guys😄
I love them both. I go back and forth,lol. I rewatch. Beautifully done.
Don't know why but I couldn't bring myself to watch Yanxi palace, while loving Ruyi so much. There's something about directions, hence different actings. I watched only a few clips from Yanxi and felt it's kinda ridiculous. Also makeup didn't do justice to the actors somehow. For why I love Ruyi - because I can relate to many things in there. Love hurts and something like that.
I am the same for Ruyi, kinda got used to Yanxi Palace's style because Ruyi's to bright.. But at least I tried to watch like.. 20 episodes or something..
You prefer Ruyi because you don't have regard in history. Historically speaking, the story and costume in Yanxi Palace is more accurate. Although Ruyi's costume is beautiful and accurate, that fashion were from later era. My point of view is from someone who studied history and seen the actual costumes from that era in museum.
@@slimechannelPH Probably.
Regardless of which one is your favorite drama, all of the women are gorgeous!
This was delightful, thank you.
I am enthralled by everything about these dramas! It is hard to adjust to today's life after watching a few episodes! Thank you china xx
Ruyi Royal Love is totally beautiful, the places, acting, dressing are so detailed. More realistic, beautiful photography, it feels like movie.
I prefer Ruyi
Yanxi palace costumes and settings were more realistic.
I like both dramas, but I prefer the Emperor, the Empress and Consort Ling (Wei Yingluo) from Yanxi Palace, while in Ruyi's Love at the Palace I just prefer Ruyi herself.
I also prefer Empress Fuca from Yanxi Palace.
Thanks so much for the reference video.
My personal take on these 2 dramas. Both were during Qianlong’s reign. I watched Ruyi first and liked it. So started to look for “Yanxi” to watch (this year) since it was so popular then. After watching Yanxi, I “fell in love with it” and watched it again & again. But I couldn’t bring myself to watch Ruyi again because it’s very sad (太残忍了). Costumes wise, I prefer Yanxi’s dressing. Admit though that not all the actresses in Yanxi are pretty enough. But then, it’s the drama as a whole (& not just pretty faces).
I 100% agree with you, same.
Watched ruyi first and it broke my heart over and over.
Yanxi is just such a nice watch especially when you watch it for the second or third time.
But ruyi will break my heart I don't think I'll ever be able to re watch that show
Yanxi makeup aren't that good to embrace the actress beauty honestly
I watched both and I prefer ruyi bcs acting from actor and actress is chef kiss💋 eventhough the storyline is more depressing
Love the video!! Would love to see the servants too if possible
I love these Chinese dramas!! Thank you so much for bringing us your video. They are all so different and still beautiful in their present day pictures!
Prefer Ruyi over Yangxi as the storyline is more realistic. Better period costumes too.
Yanxi palace costumes are more accurate but Ruyi’s plot is realistic.
Creo que la verdad está en algún lugar entre ambas series, es decir, son doramas, no documentales...para mí Ruyi's es la mejor, la actuación, el vestuario, locaciones, es un todo, además de que las personas parecen personas, no son como caricatura, que me parecen en Yanxi. Además, al fin puedo entender lo que significa ser una dama en todo el sentido de la expresión, no sólo hermosas, sino que extremadamente inteligentes, capaces, talentosas e increíblemente cultas, una maravilla
I love both of the drama but yanxi palace was my fave. Watched it for like three times. Also watch Royal feast if you cant get enough with yingluo and fuheng it is available here in yt.
如懿传 team
I cannot get enough of either one of these shows I watch them back to back over and over again😂❤
Me vi ambas, y aunque Ruyi es muy buena y mas apegada a la historia original, Yanxhi Palace es muy superior en terminos de construccion de personajes, guion y actores. Al emperador de Ruyi lo odiaba, siempre lo senti como el villano de la historia, mientras que el emperador de Yanxhi palace..... waoh es simplemente impecable, atractivo, astuto e imponente, al punto q puedes ignorar el hecho de que ...tambien es el villano en la vida de todas estas hermosas y astutas mujeres
What's important person that missing Yanxi series? Ling Yunche in Ruyi Royal Palace.
I think Yuan Chunwang(袁春望)
@@jepworld all right I almost forgot
Did he even exist?
I'm surprised by the comments as I like Yanxi Palace way more than Ruyi. While both are full of court (/harem) intrigues and women competing against each others, Yanxi also has Wei Yingluo's personal quest in the begining with her sister and different dinamics with her starting point as a maid, while in Ruyi it feels way more as a soap opera with mean girls (emperor included) against the protagonist, just because it's sad doesn't mean it's darker or more profound. I also prefer Yanxi's emperor (obviously) and Yingluo who is crafty, pro-active and not love-focused. The emperess Nara also feels more dynamic and 3 dimensional in Yanxi, in my opinion, she does love the emperor, but it's not only his love (or lack of) that shapes her, but her childhood upbringing and family, her expirience in the palace with her morals... Not saying that Yanxi is perfect, but it seems more dynamic and interesting for me.
Ruyi is perfect
@@teemoonduty4920 I don't think so
@@Raunak-dk6ow I didn't like Ruyi nearly as much
I discovered these dramas in the last few months. I have to admit I ache for Ruyi. I found her journey painful to watch. I began the Yanxi feeling a bit heavy-hearted but the story went a different way and I enjoyed the more playful aspect of the show. I've not been able to watch the whole Ruyi version. I get so irate when the women are all against Ruyi and all she wanted was his love and happiness. During the shows where Ruyi was feisty, I loved them so much.
Thank you, I loved ruyi, yu and jai performances but the story was too painful for me. Yanxi was well rounded and had a good ending, I love strong female leads but with wei yinglou she wasn't taking anybody's evil deeds and that resonates with more than suffering in silence. Both Ruyi and Wei yinglou taught me about patience and grace.
Seria interesante que lo tradujeran. Yo también me di cuenta que los dos doramas tienen los mismos personajes pero están elaborados y/o narrados desde diferentes puntos de vista; uno es el punto de vista de la segunda Emperatriz y el otro está basado desde el punto de vista de la amante preferida del emperador que luego, que ella fallece, su hijo la nombra Emperatriz.
I was hopping a real a deep comparison of the story and the characters no only the actors
I like Ruyi, but I prefer Yanxi Palace. Both are really good, but the feeling of Yanxi just seems better.
Before watching both I saw clips, highlights anfand couldn't bring myself to watch Ruyi. I've wanted Yanxi Palace thrice I love the fact that she loved was loyal and dangerously smart. She payed back whoever Ruyis abused life although I couldn't bring myself to watch the whole drama the clips were enough to leave my heart broken
I want you to see the whole drama.
I think it's hard because it's long
Don't watch it, you're lucky. I actually wish I'd just watched clips but I saw up to 70 episodes and had to go. It's so depressing and stressful. Not worth it. I loved yanxi palace.
Lifes hard enough without watching a woman get abused for 80+ episodes
Genial tu video, gracias!
Los protagonistas de Ruyi y todo el elenco despertaron mi interés por seguir la serie.
Los vi a ambos, pero Ruyi's Royal... parecía más cercano a la realidad principalmente por la personalidad del emperador, por todo lo que he leído sobre Qianlong, Ruyi me parece más real. Pero ambos son buenos. Además, Ruyi todavía despierta mi interés por verlo más a menudo. mientras que Yanxi lo vio una vez y eso fue suficiente para mí.👏👏😍
I like both dramas but I do find Ruyi's version more colorful. But am I the only one who thought that Imperial Noble Consort Huiyian is Noble Lady Jia???
I watched Yanxi and loved it. People say it’s too far from reality but I’m watching it for the plot, characters, pacing.
Some day when I’m not on the edge of depression I’ll watch Ruyi. I think the cast and cinematography looks beautiful, and I’m sure the writing is great. I just don’t know if I’m ready for that kind of ending.
Yanxi palace was a near perfect drama.
Ruyi had some good things also but it lacked romance, intelligence, justice, tear jerking scenes, funny eunuchs/maids and great villains.
I stopped around episode 70 for my health, its not good to upset myself over a drama so I quit dramas that have negative endings.
RLitP is more realistic though, (and to be honest slightly better acting) but I can understand not everybody wants that. Also visual is better... I still enjoyed Yanxy sans problem :)
Intelligence? Is having your enemy struck down by lightning through praying tothe heaven a result intelligent writing?
Did you just say it lacked tear jerkers? Did you NOT cry when Jingse and Ling yunche died??!?? Just say you didn’t watch it
When you said Ruyi lacked of those is like... Why is there Ruyi at first place if it has to be like Yanxi? Why not question Yanxi is not like Ruyi? I guess you think too much of your personal preference rather than enjoying 2 total different stories.
Yanxi Palace is best!
I like The Story of Yanxi Palace, more than the other. Ruyi’s Emperor was so cruel, I couldn’t watch all of it.
I think Yanxi Palace is more for the masses.
But I also like Ruyi ’s.
Could not believe Ruyi's Royal Love because the emperor was so goofy. He listened to eunuchs and his daughter. I couldn't believe this man was superi9r to Kanxi.
Ruyi the best.......the other is weak
Ratings said otherwise🤭
Which app can I use to watch Ruyi Royal Love in Palace?
For me, yanxi was made perfectly
I reall love Yanxi Palace
I love both shows!!! Ruyi has a more serious-melancholic tone with a bittersweet ending (more on the bitter side), while Yanxi Palace has a more fun comedic tone with some seriousness slipped in with a more sweet than bitter ending. Although i did see some people accusing Yanxi of copying Ruyi while Ruyi’s producers were cutting down on extra episodes
Story of Yanxi 🤍🇵🇭🇵🇭🫶
Me come back to watch Chinese drama cause ruyi ......even now I'm know all the actress name 😂
I love both dramas. I watch them both.
What we think about our self (Protagonis) vs what the enemy think about us (Antagonis). Every tales have two sides of story.
Yanxi pakace is the best
I saw all the episodes of Yanxi palace , but I didn't like the main actress, nor the character of that strange eunuch.
I love Ruyi Royal Love much more.
I preferred the story of yanxi palace.
ني اشاهد الحلقات مرات ومرات لا امل من مشاهدته اجمل قصه تاريخيه رأيتها في مسلسل قصه قصر يانشي الامبراطور رائع جدا😍
thank you!!
قصه قصر يانشي جميل جدا جدا يفوق كل المسلسلات من كثر الدقه في التمثيل تحسه حقيقي
Ruyi is my fave without a doubt. My top C Drama, in fact. It's hard for me to watch Yanxi bc Ruyi's Ling Fei was hateful and I couldn't help but carry that bias to Yanxi's Ling Fei. I find the actors more compelling and the costume and production design better in Ruyi too. (And to be shallow for a minute, the actors in Ruyi are more appealing to me visually ;;;) But most of all, Zhou Xun's Ruyi is just everything to me. She's miles ahead of everyone in terms of acting.
Ruyi have portrait of darkness side of the palace. But, Yanxi give the bittersweet love story. I loved both, different vibes from different mood 😂❤
Ruyi in palace cinema and actresses were more diverse and beautiful, also story wise it madd lot more sense then the other, their was more then just revenge and harem drama, ling in ruyi her development and claimbing up ranks made more sense then in yaxin palace
Ruyi make me want to start my studies and learn chinese language. Haha My husband doesn't like this kind of drama (we're brazilians) but he loves watching Ruyi with me.
Ruyi😃😃😃😃
I loved Yanxi Palace. Ruyi's Love was too sad and I hated the Consort Ling character. I disliked it so much I don't like the actress when I see her in other dramas.
Once an actress appears as a villain, it's hard to get rid of the image.
Looking at the behind-the-scenes photos will change your impression.
Мне нравится любовь Руи : актеры , костюмы все подобрано великолепно и снято классно .
Son dos dramas diferentes con la los mismos personajes históricos no, pero con diferente historia? En esta quien se lleva el amor del emperador.
En el amor real de ruyi pues ella no? Y esta quien y cuál es la que corresponde al drama de ruyi
Some people in this comment sections are so fixated on "HiSTOriCallY CorReCTNeSS" and trying to downplay Ruyi for it, but sorry to break it to you all but it was Yanxi that is a disgrace to real history.
Ruyi’s creators never claimed that their show were historically correct, nor they tried to make it so, it’s based on a novel, it’s fiction, not a history textbook. Yanxi’s director and fanbase on the other hand looove preaching about how aligned with history they are but when looking carefully and doing a full on comparison and you’d realize they’re full of $h!t.
1/ Where is Fuca Empress’s only daughter Princess Gurun Hejing in Yanxi? In real history record she outlived most of Qianlong’s children and had a huge influence during his reign yet she doesn’t even exist in Yanxi. And where are 1st Prince Yonghuang and 3rd Prince Yongzhang? They all lived ‘til way into their 20s, where are they in Yanxi?
2/ Imperial Noble Consort Chunhui had 3 kids, yet in Yanxi she only has 6th Prince and somehow is able to keep her virginity years after being a concubine in Yanxi, WTF?
3/ What on Earth are Senior Ja and Junior Ja Consort? Imperial Noble Consort Shuja was ONE person in history, and she was from a even nobler family than Noble Consort Huixian, so the idea that her having to rely on Consort Huixian to survive is laughable.
4/ Concubine Shun lost her virginity, has a kid and still gets offered to become the Emperor’s concubine. I mean, seriously?
5/ There are 3 of the King’s wives commit suicide in Yanxi, including Fuca Empress herself. Do you even know what a felony it was for an Empress or concubine to commit suicide? They’d be ripped all of their titles and have their maternal family heavily punished, no matter what position they held when alive. Fuca Rongyin walking barefoot in a nightgown jumping to her death? This is an atrocity.
6/ A maid who runs around the Forbidden City like a lunatic, always ready to raise her voice against the masters and talk back at them, yelling at the Emperor, calling him a prostitute and then get away with it because “she saved him from being sick”? That almost never happens, anywhere in history. Should you watch Ruyi to see what happen to an EMPRESS after she talks back at the Emperor.
7/ There’s a huge Empress’s Consecration Ceremony for Ruyi, while Sushen becomes an Empress in front of a mirror, LOL.
And these are only a few I can collect from mere memory to indicate how ridiculous and laughable some Yanxi’s fans’ ignorance is, there’s ton more. This Yanxi show is a total garbage bin yet you still have the the guts to compare it to the masterpiece that is Ruyi’s Love In The Palace, I must applaud your terrible taste in arts.
Agree on 6/
Was thinking the exact same thing. Even though she’s the main character she got under my skin
I never watch full episodes of Ruyi, but I think they focused their storylines on different Characters with Yanxi.
Ruyi focused on Consort Xian (Ruyi maybe in Ruyi) while Yanxi focused on Wei Yinglou. It's normal that if the storyline is focused on different characters they must develop different plots.
I loved Yanxi palace
Really interesting.
Ruyi's Royal Love is deep and mature. A lot of lesson to learn. Characters are more appealing, appropriate, and with grace. Truly I can see and appreciate the culture.
Both they were great we know that Rudy's it's real and the historian put her in the books of the real history, they try to find her pictures , I believes that they found it!
Ruyi's story is a realistic, profound and very well crafted piece of historical fiction, Yanxi just cannot compare, sorry to anyone who prefer Yanxi but just the fact. Maybe it's fun for kids and teenagers to watch but that ends there. Yanxi's plot, theme and characters are much more shallow, one dimensional, childish and ridiculous, the schemes are very half-assed and illogical if you really think about it, they're mostly quick and petty retaliations on one another rather than thoughtful and longterm plans like in Ruyi. The characters in Yanxi are absolute bores that are only bads and only goods with so little depth of personality or development, maybe except for the second Empress, while Ruyi has a wide set of morally grey characters. Ruyi as a protagonist is not some overpowered Mary Sue who runs around shouting and winning, Ying Luo on the other hand is overall a bad character played by a bad actress.
Yanxi Palace supremacy!
I prefer Yanxi Palace..i watch full episodes many many times and I'm still going over it when I'm bored. Ruyi is nothing but regular Cdrama- all scheming
However, but the acting standard of a palace in Yanxi totally failed, Yingluo's characteristic is too loud. No courtesy of historical manners. Maybe fun for my younger sister to watch. Even regular Cdrama Switch of Fate has better story and plot than Yanxi
Ruy ficou na historia
I loved yanxi place more than Ruyi
