| Gorgeous visuals and music and absolutely interesting premise! After so good first episode I can easily tell that this series is definitely worth watching. Its announcement already looked great, but ep. 1 has exceeded all my expectations, haha. Not to forget about how brilliant is the opening theme. Same with the ending one. |

| I have been waiting to watch this since it was announced I’m so glad I can binge it now! Probably the most convoluted setup I’ve ever seen for a show, lol. Still the anime is gorgeous and the characters seem fun. Excited to see where it goes from here. |
 |
| I just finished Frieren a few hours ago, it was a solid 9 for me, but one thing I noticed comparing that to this one is that the visuals here are very detailed and overall more pleasing to the eyes. Anyway, why didn't Maomao ask for freedom? After all she's there against her will. Maybe being there isn't so bad? Even though she constantly talks about being beheaded and all that. |
 |
| Maomao's blasé attitude is very refreshing, IMO. She didn't want to stand out, and yet her curiosity made her end up standing out instead of remaining a wallflower lol |

| new she get to marry in to royalty lol |
| A very interesting start to this one! Taking place in ancient China no less. The art is top notch! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| A somewhat interesting first episode. I don't really see what the hype is about. This seems like it's going to be an episodic mystery solving type of drama and that's not really a recipe for good entertainment in my book. The pacing felt awkward at times and they paused at the eunuch's face way too much. Why would women care about a eunuch's face when he literally doesn't have a dick cause he's been castrated? He has no sexual drive and no interest in women. That attempt by the author to paint the eunuch as a bishounen fell flat on its face and it was cringe watching the servant girls gawk at him. I don't understand where this show is going. There can't be any romance cause the main guy has no dick and there can't be any drama cause the first step to solving drama is usually a beheading. Maomao even said so in this very episode. I don't see any room for growth here and no room for intrigue UNLESS Maomao is gonna go on a rampage through the Imperial Court and seize the position of Empress. I don't see that happening considering her personality and the comedic tone of this series. 7/10 for this first episode. The animation was pretty good, especially the crowdwork, fantastically done. |
| Oh boy the drama! I can see why people were eating this show up. |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
| Maomao seemed really bothered being kidnapped...not. I like Maomao alot so far, sees right through anyone's BS. |
 |
| The setting seems like Ancient China but I am not really sure. Either way, I am hoping we get to see some Ancient Chinese politics alongside all the medicine shenanigans. |
