Where's the story? Where's that damn thing that writers put their brain into, the thing that screenplay develops out of, that...ah! forget it. This drama would not have been bad had it actually been nonsensical. No, it is actually worse. It portrays a rather bad heroine as a good one. Short summary: a girl makes deal with a prince to recover his childhood memories using hypnosis(via a bracelet). The prince sleepwalks. Some random war and royal politics stuff popular in CDrama as filler. That's ... about it. There's a douche-bag general too. Like I care.

Let me put across the actual story. A princess who is a "strong, independent" wahmen uses trickery(ah! female nature) to trap a very high value male(our prince). Her pretense is she'll be a psychotherapist to him, and use her secret skill called hypnosis to recover his very traumatic childhood memories. Good. Except she ain't any hypnotist. She has a bracelet with what looks like a rudraksha that produces a ringing sound which is heard only by the prince and which traps him. Well, generally women use sex and makeup, but whatever. Now our good doctor freely abuses her patient to make him act in love under hypnosis. Our prince is oh so innocent about sex. He resists her attempts to do this, but she won't stop(is this not drug rape or something?). Hypnosis sessions make the prince exhausted and he is a bit lax on his political duties. Prince also has a habit of sleepwalking, due to which he always lands up in his wife's(yeah they contract marry) chambers. Finally when prince is hopelessly in love with his wife(literally dancing on her fingertips under hypnosis), she suddenly meets an old flame. Chad enters the (nonexistent) plot. Princess cuckolds prince and is often running towards the old "friend". Tolerate this for 10 episodes if you like. Some stupid political filler. Deaths here and there. Drama ends. You can celebrate that a manipulative female has successfully trapped the future Emperor of China. I'm pretty sure it won't fare good for the country.

Actors/Cast: Now these are actually good. The cast does its job very well. Its the writes that are lame(or perhaps "ideologically motivated")
Music: If you don't remember it later, it ain't worth listening to anyway. Timepass.
Cinematography: That's where most of the budget went. And costumes. Though there were excess of close up shots, as in full blown facial shots, that I didn't like. Like if there's a dialogue, I don't need to see a giant face every time someone speaks. They can keep cameras a bit away from subject.
Rewatch value: If you're a manipulative female, or like such heroines, then perhaps you could re-watch it. Truthfully, its just, meh! Save your time and watch "Consort Meng Arrives". I'll take Consort Meng over Princess Ming any day. She's less headache and more witty.
