Saiunkoku Monogatari (Colourcloud Palace)

  
This is one anime i realized a little bit later that i actually love watching it. Apart from the gorgeously drawn characters, the men inside made me squeal like a schoolgirl in love, especially Ryuuki, Seiran, Shuuei, Ensei and Ryuuren. One more important character: Koyu, i dont really like the dude cuz he's so bad tempered but his sense of direction i find it extremely funny and amusing. (there's more imp characters)
Okay, Summary: Kou Shuurei is invited to go into the palace to kick the King's (Shi Ryuuki) lazy bum so that he starts acting like a king and work. Okay so she wants to be a government official but in the olden China era, woman has no authority. Shuurei wants to change that and she did with her strong will and confidence. As the main female character of course the king fell in love with her. So did most of the other characters in there. But what i really hate is she's always playing hard to get with the King. Sheesh~~ He's HOT! Just accept his proposal already (That;s what i kept thinking while watching)
Ran Shuuei I LOVE that character! Something about his cool personality makes me fall in love with his role. But well, as all anime cliché always happen. He loves an older woman who doesn't love him back and while waiting for the woman to return his love, he turns into an eligible bachelor who sleeps and flirts around. Hmph~~~ Don't you notice that every eligible bachelor in most anime are like that?
His brother Ryuuren is one funny character. His eccentricity is what makes me laugh and why i think this anime is just hilarious. The King could look serious but he's always acting like a kid and i find it cute. Ensei has this happy go lucky personality that makes him so fun to watch. Seiran, well, he's mostly gentle but serious at all time but i do admire his loyalty. Too bad he too kind sometimes.
Then you get to see how the people of that era manipulate people and stuff (i'm not that interested in that)
If you watch the anime, you'll feel so sympathetic for Ryuuki and Seiran for their bitter childhood memories and Shuuei is just so unlucky in love. Well, I finish watching it and i'm so sad cuz it's the last season, no news on the 3rd season. Even the manga is hard to find. So i resolved around rewatching.
The OST for this anime was really good to me. I really love the er hu. If you're fan of chinese instruments then i bet you'll enjoy the songs. Tho some of the songs such as country music are rather modern for that kinda anime genre but i still love it.
