I really love this historical drama. Watched it several times already. It has a great cast, full of actors and actresses that i really like. However it gets a 7 as the Japanese actors couldn't convince me that they are Chinese. And that made watching this hard. Yoshino Kimura did the best job with her Mandarin. The rest tried but really made my head spin. It was a treat hearing Yutaka speak Mandarin, though. He looks like a Chinese in this drama and loved his character's gentleness. Sweet!
And i should read up on the history of Manchuria, China and Japan to further understand this great production.
Really nice soundtrack accompanying this drama as well. |

If it wasn't for some for some silly special effects, and a few scenes like a person's hand being shot off, this would be perfect. I love history, and I love love stories that are complicated, ill fated, forbidden, etc. One thing I would like to point out is that this is a good example of how much music can effect the feeling of a drama (or movie or anything for that matter), they use a very beautiful melody very often, often played on a Chinese fiddle, it really brings so much emotion to the story, without it it would have only been a fraction as good as it is. |

Mac 2004: This is a historical drama....with great cast. A must watch for everyone cus normally u wont see japanese actors speak chinese and practice traditional chinese customs. As a chinese myself, i really touched by this drama, well acted by the actors, touching plots, im impressed. Learned some history too.... |

takenouchi yutaka might looked a lil silly here, but his performance is perfect enough to cover his silliness.
i was surprised to see that they spoke in mandarin, n they did it pretty good.. asahi did a good job in portraying the life of this couple trying to unite the chinese n japanese.. |

Good acting by Takenouchie, not particularly fond of Tokiwa's acting. Not sure about the real history, but watching it from Japanese production point of view, I think it's pretty much obvious to assume that they have changed so much of the ACTUAL history. B+ |

This is a quality WWII period drama with a top notch cast. The leads are great and the storyline is quite touching. If you are a fan of either Yutaka Takenouchi or Takako Tokiwa then this is a must see short series. |

Simply beautiful. It made me sob so many times that I cannot remember.
I do not have a great knowledge about Japan or China's history but as a simple person, I found this drama amazing, touching. Deserves a 10. |

INCREDIBLE performances. Haven't seen Tokiwa and Takenouchi for a LONG TIME. Reminds me of what Japanese dramas used to be like. AMAZING SOUNDTRACK. and you really feel that sorrow and devotion. MMMM |

a very neat drama. never thought the japanese will act out such a story about the Chinese history. Better than my expectation in a lot of ways, if only the actors can speak even better Mandarin... |

Didn't know the history btwn the Japanese and the Manchurians so it was confusing for me... maybe a little homework on history before watching would help... I love the music tho.... |

Great drama, i think takenouchi yutata's acting is quite good. as for japanese speaking chinese...not bad. at least i can understand more than half not looking at the subtitles. |

Liked this drama quite a bit for the historical interest and the star-studded cast. I had never known about this story until I learned about it in the drama. Nice production. |

Great casts. Very different from most dorama. I like this alot. Chinese spoken was not that good...however, leading casts made a considerable efforts to speak the language! |

I like this drama..
very nicely done,
since this is a Japanese production, thought they would change the veiw to favor the Japanese side during World War II |

It's a Japanese version of China Last Emperor. Excellent, deep & meaningful drama. Yutaka Takenouchi, Takako Tokiwa, and Takeshi Sorimachi are great. |

Interesting little bio-pic. I'd never heard of Princess Hiro before.
Pretty well done. |

This drama is very well-done in details.
A historical drama rather than romantic. |
