English Raven of the Inner Palace quite captivated me with its visuals, especially the sense of aesthetics that the creators have shown here. I also got to like the main couple. Unfortunately, the series didn’t do it for me as far as the individual stories were concerned. I didn't find them particularly interesting, they didn't make me feel any suspense and, for the most part, I didn't really care about them. Also, the main storyline wasn't strong or compelling enough for me to want to know more about the history of Raven concubines. The romance here was quite pleasant. It was very gradual, and I enjoyed watching the central couple find their way to each other. On the other hand, I wasn't really interested in anyone else besides them. For me, it's kind of a disputable average, which is slightly elevated by the already mentioned artistic aspect of the series. For example, the scene where Ryu uses his magic (burning the pink lotus) is really impressive. 6/10 ()
