Princess Weiyoung is really a great historical romance drama.

The beauty of the ancient places, palaces and temples in China. The colourful crafted traditional clothing. It all creates a really aesthetically pleasing show.

A beauty to the eye, not only the whole setting of the show, but also the princess weiyoung (Tiffany Tang) is very stunning, as is the male protagonist Tuoba Jun (Luo Jin), Li Changle (Li Xin’ai) and also the rest of the cast fits so perfectly in their roles.

Based from the book The Poisonous Daughter by Qin Jian, you are transported in a different era, during the Northern and Southern Dynasties period, China.
