I did not have any high hopes before watching this drama due to all the reviews I read. But since I did not have anything else to do and, after just watching Eternal Love with Dilmurat and Binbin, I wanted to give it a try. I did not have any great expectations though.
And I was right.
This drama had a great potential, the characters and actors were not too bad either. I really do think that the script was written clumsily. If the main line of the drama is great, the rest is boring. I spent my time skipping moments and moments and I usually never do that !
If the dramawas lasted 25 or 30 episodes, it would be much better.

Ruge was not too bad, she was touching, loyal and sometimes clever. Dilmurat did not disapoint me. However, I wished she gained more strength at the end of the show. I felt like during several episodes, some small details were showing her power growing, I was waiting impatiently a real revelation that never happened.

Binbin, as always, has this tragic role. He may have this very handsome face but it kinda tire me. I did not personnaly like his character. I think he could have make him more charismatic.

Xin Yue was a big disappointment as well. Not because of the character himself that I found rather funny. I just, for some unknown reasons, could not stand the actor's face ? I did not..... find him as handsome as how he is considered in the show.

The "mean" character was weird...... I cannot figure out why they did hire an actor with such special face and expressions. But I kinda got used to. He wasn't the best.

I like the Third Sect leader though. Suprisingly. And Lei JingHong.

Anyway, I watched it. Do no regret it but if I go back in time, I don't know if I would still make myself watch it.
