Liang Bu Yi

Within the Chinese imperial court, stern-faced Emperor Xiao Jinyun and spirited Empress Xu Yu are at constant odds with one another. But the universe has an interesting way to solve their issues: an accident causes the two to switch bodies, forcing them to put themselves in the other's shoes—literally. Now responsible for unfamiliar duties and court dynamics, the emperor and empress must navigate the maintenance of their identities, unruly concubines, and the nation itself. In doing so, Xiao Jinyun and Xu Yu's personal qualities and unconventional skills find new purpose, and a sense of understanding and compassion grows between the two.

However, great threats loom within and outside the court. If the imperial astrologer cannot discover the key to switching them back in time, then internal strife and suspicion may lead to the duo's untimely demise.

This is easily on my list of favorite animes to watch. After watching other romance animes there were only a few that really caught my eye in accordance to my all time forever favorites! This is one of those shows. As I first loaded it up, I was sooo disappointed with the animation, as it felt bad, but later I realized how cool it was and just loved the art & animation style as well, it gave it its own path.

Not only did it have the romance we want to see, with a great conclusion, it also balanced itself out by guiding us ... through an adventure, some drama, friendships, supernatural events, and all the cool stuff. The story is extremely strong and rich.

When it comes to character development this show exceeds expectations, as we get to meet, feel, and develop with most of the cast, including the side ones that just appear in the emperors court rulings.

The romance started and developed fluidly. The show concluded at a wonderful pace, I really liked the fact that there was a visual conclusion and they gave us "that" ending! As I was watching the show, I was like "I better see it happen, I hope they include it!" and they did, which is nice and satisfying.

Its also nice that they had 2 seasons, and even though the episodes are shorter than usual, a lot happens, and surprisingly it doesn't feel skimmed through. You get all the details, events, and notes needed in one episode. They don't feel short at all.

Very engaging, stirs up all kinds of emotion and allows us to see justice happen. I'm new to Chinese anime, and honestly I love the way they know how to create good drama. However, I have realized that sometimes they drag it way too far, but here its balanced, the drama adds to the show rather than take away from it.

This and Tong Ling Fei - 10/10

I really enjoyed No Doubt In Us! From Xu Yu and Xiao Jinyun's reviving romance, to the court conspiracy slowly unfolding around them, to the fantastical magic element- almost every aspect of the plot lands well, with lively and entertaining characters to carry it. Xu Yu and Jinming are my favourites of the cast; the energy and positivity around both of them really lightens things up, and they're both very endearing to me. Everyone is very colourful and three-dimensional, and while it's slow to show you the depths behind each character, you come out with at least some positive feeling for even the antagonists (or ... at least most of them. Not naming any names 🤭)


While the animation style is a bit strange to adjust to at first, it's used to its full potential! The comedic moments get funny little chibis, while most of the show uses a style more similar to early RWBY. It's obvious that it was made on a budget, but they do a great job with what they have regardless. The character designs are memorable, the backgrounds are stunning, and they don't shy away from making their characters expressive.


Overall, I think it's really great! More people should give it a go. It's funny, fast-paced, and keeps you engaged. And, as a bonus, it sticks to the manhua plot really well- if you like the donghua, you'll like the manhua too!

I picked this up after watching Heavens Official Blessing and liked the gender swap concept.

Story: 10 - The story is about an empress and emperor who have a cold relationship until they fall under a spell that causes them to swap bodies. This leads to them facing various challenges, which highlights the characters strengths and also leads to some hiularious misunderstandings. Through this expreience they both realise the burdens their ocunterpart carries which brings them closer. I loved the progression and pace of the story. It had a good amount of drama, anction, comedy, and romance. I think all the characters were well written, ... even some of the annoying courtesens were characters I enjoyed seeing. On its own, this season was good though without the second season it feels incomplete.

Art: 9 -Honestly, I was scaptical about the 3d animation but it didn't take away from the show at all,. The art was beautiful and the fight scenes were exciting to watch. I also liked the chibi-like animation used in scome scenes for comedic purposes, it reminded me a lot of Pucca.

Sound: 10- Great, not issues.

Translation: 10- I watched this on netflix and the subtitles seemed consistent and were easy to read. In another chinese animation I watched the subtitles had a lot of errors and had bad placement.

Overall: 10 (With second season also)
