Unchained Love (浮图缘) is another drama starring the hugely popular Dylan Wang. I got onboard with a neutral mindset though despite the high ratings because the actor's star power will inevitably attract eyeballs and influence the reviews given by his fans. This production has a historical setting in a time period where a eunuch commands great power. As I watched, there are times … [Read more...] about Unchained Love Review
