Loved it, Loved it & Loved it. From story to acting, everything is perfect.

The story is well written. It is about power-play & revenge. I like the leads being grayish character.

Jiang Xue Ning is short-tempered, stubborn, ignorant, smart, cunning, but despite all of that, she is afraid of Xie Wei.

Xie Wei is cold-hearted, cruel, smart, cunning, calculative but scared of cats.

I loved Jiang Xue Ning & Xie Wei interaction. He is always there helping & protecting her, sacrificing for her. It was funny to see Xie Wei saving the qin but not Jiang Xue Ning. Even when Jiang Xue Ning isn't in a good mood or upset to cheer her up, he takes her to his office to practice qin.

As always, Bai Lu did her best. I liked Zhang Ling He acting as well. Also, Zhou Jun Wei & Liu Xie Ning did a good job.

I like Yan Lin but also hate him for what he did to Jiang Xue Ning in the past in his anger. He is immature but gradually understands everything.

I liked Shen Zhi Yi, she is cute & immature. Always there to protect & help Jiang Xue Ning.

Zhang Zhe is a righteous person with strong principles.

Lu Xian is a greedy businessman who always thinks about profit. But he is always there to help Xie Wei & make fun of him. A good friend of his.

You Fang Yin is a trusting and loyal friend of Jiang Xue Ning. She is good at doing business. The ending scene broke my heart. The way Jiang Xue Ning protected her & did everything to keep her save.

It was cute & sweet to see how the princess protected Jiang Xue Ning & did everything to make Jiang Xue Ning her study partner, but poor Jiang Xue Ning didn't want to go to the palace. Their friendship, the thing Jiang Xue Ning did for her so that she doesn't have to go.

Jiang Xue Hui is kind-hearted, considerate. Even after knowing that she is a concubine daughter, she didn't hold it against or make trouble for Jiang Xue Ning as we see in other dramas.

The conversation between Xie Wei & Yan Mu was so heart touching, I feel Yan Mu may have guessed it at that moment.

Jiang Xue Ning mother is so annoying. She doesn't let Jiang Xue Ning explain or talk. Always blaming everything on her not knowing the truth.

I loved Lu Xian & Jiu Shu bickering.

The way Jiang Xue Ning tried so hard to fail the exam so that she didn't have to enter into the palace.

It was funny how Zhou Bao Ying took away walnut cake from Jiang Xue Ning & the same thing Xie Wei did to her.

Everyone's reaction to You Fang Yin & Lu Xian getting married.

It's The Starry Cast reunion. The famous TTEOM stairs.

I liked the kisses given that the director is famous, using lights, birds & flowers in kissing scenes.

I loved OST.
