Drama Series Review: The Imperial Doctress (Mandarin)

Reading a good book at different stages of your life leaves you with different interpretations and reflections. I felt this after completing the Chinese drama serial 'The imperial doctress'.

Rationality

Just finished Queens of hearts and diamonds. Heart-wrenching and really worth it. It teaches one to look into one another's souls and understand the ppl arnd us better. Who is a true friend, who truly cares for and loves you? Look deep into their souls and you will know who will stick with you through thick and thin, and forgive you when u've made mistakes. Above all, trust is such an important virtue. TTFN!
