L this is one of those gems that departs away from the usual saccharine sweet fodder of costume Cdrama. Loved the pace, not too frenetic but not too slow, acting was really good, make up not overdone and amazingly, no annoying whiney voiced females. The plot is strong and interesting. If you like fast pace, self explanatory dramas this is not for you. The pace and plot is more in line with styles of less juvenile storylines , actually offering some intelligence without compromising fun aspects. Well balanced. Love it!!!
