How can you not like it?

The first reason of liking this drama is Li Yi Tong, her role as assassin Wan Mei is played so well, multifaceted and convincing.
In the beginning young, innocent but already full of hardship, she tries her best to bring some food home to her little brother and obviously good for nothing herbalist father.

Even after he sells her to a brothel for two bags of rice ( ( -how far sighted, how long can they live on that-), her will to live is stronger than giving in to her obvious destiny.

In the end desperate and wanting, she still finds a way of living on.

I love Li Yi Tong, I liked her in every drama, but in this one I liked her so far the most. She can display so many character traits in just one role.Really great. Although she is an assassin she never gives in to power and bloodthirst, she ist soft but strong, never killing anyone.Maybe not realistic for an assassin but she has two men by her side, one always manipulating and pushing her but also deeply in love for the first time, the other Chang An.

Chang An (Qu Chu Xiao), her shadow and his undying love and will to give everything for her impressed me so much. Who doesn't want to see a charactare like him in a drama.Torn between personal revenge and his love for Wan Mei, in the end he's always by her side, secretly helping her,pleading for her or sacrificing for her.

Though both, Chang An and Wan Mei, often make everything more complicated by giving in to their feelings, they won't stop loving each other.

Sometimes I had the feeling, that when one of them wouldn't have been there it would have made things a lot easier for the other.
Trying to sacrifice everything for each other but only maximizing the extend of damage that is done is not my ideal way of loving but yes, it's a
"bloody romance". Quite interesting.

Cha Luo as heartless and pain ridden crazy leader of the assassins is also greatly portrayed. You really get into hating her whole personality, even though you get to know how hard her life was. She is just selfish and doesn't want anyone in a similar situation having a better life than her. She clings to her power hungry self as so not to give in to her misery.
Great actress, her cruel laughter still sends shivers down my spine.

Xing Feng, Cha Luo's man,shadow and true love is also an interesting character.I really like the actor.He loves Cha Luo although she is so cruel.You can see how often he tries to pacify her but still wants to do everything for her.

Xing Feng and Cha Luo are the saddest couple I have ever seen in a drama.Him impotent and sad for not beeing able to give her what she wants and her needy and always aggressive for beeing an almighty leader but still a powerless person.

The best charactare displayed in this drama is King of Ning, really impressive. Blind in the beginning, with lots of heart illnesses but also with a powerful inner strenght, he uses everyone for his own ambitions. A lonely but manipulative guy whom you can't really see through.He is the secret puppetry master of everything.

All in all it was one of the dramas which left an imprint on me.
I highly recommend it to people who like to get
carried away by a drama.
I loved it.

A story about true brotherhood, friendship and justice

How can you not like a plot like that? I'm even overwhelmed by how much I liked it. I couldn't stop watching.It touched my heart.

The story is so mysterious, funny and exciting.

6 totally different man with different abilities find a way to work together and try to solve the ongoing events. Working out theories while investigating lots of murder cases, is what makes the story so exciting.You find yourself in the middle of all of it, theorizing, planing and trying to solve the cases.
Antagonists happen to come along the way a lot. The one lasting antagonist seems to be General Qiu Qing Zhi, who once was best friends with Li Bing. You ask yourself what events must have happened that a childhood friendship like Li Bings and Qiu Qing Zhis didn't last.
Lots of things that happened in the past of those 7 man find their way up to the current time. After exposing many things, you can see a red thread winding through the cases, each charactare exposing more of their past.

The whole series was so exciting though it started a little bit slow. The music is very good, the actors are really great.

I absolutely recommend this show, I never skipped a scene.
Absolutely worthy watching it!

I like the characters

FL and ML fit well.
The FL looks so young,almost childlike.She is very cute. Her character's personality is childish, indicisive but also strong headed, quite self aware and she is delveloping her character well.

The ML is good looking and portraying his character very seriously. He seems possessive,overprotective and strong willed, but has his funny, friendly and protective moments.

There are lots of funny scenes in the drama.
What I don't like, all costums are well chosen except the FL's. She seems petit and normally buildt in comparison to other more delicate looking chinese actresses, so she shouldn't wear that kind of clothes with such thick layers and thick materials and large prints.It makes her look so hefty.

All in all the show is very likeable because of the characters.I enjoyed watching it

Mysterie and love

It's a very intriguing story. FL and ML solve mysterious deaths. The change of the FL is also very interesting. Some may not like it, because the actress who played the FL in the first episodes is also very likeable. Both actresses made a very good impression on me.
I have watched the drama to episode 7. I can't wait till the next episode is aired.

The story between the FL and the ML got me. The FL leads' tragical life.Her families' unsolved deaths which were tarned and presented as her father's betrayal to the state.

All seem to slowly unwind like a big knot giving small hints episode through episode. - We still have to watch many more episodes.-

The ML truly faithful love for the " believed dead" FL is shown very clearly. Although he at first seems to show no emotions, he cares a lot and hides every feeling very well behind a carefully put on passionless mask.
