This is by far one of the best C-Dramas I have ever watched. From beginning to end, I was entertained. The acting was amazing. The writing was amazing. The scenery, wardrobe and vibe were all exceptional.

Chemistry: yes, yes and yes. It was resent and it was beautiful. The leads not only looked great together but they each had charisma/flare that just blew this out of the water.

Acting: awesome. The acting didn’t feel like acting. It felt real/genuine. That’s how great it was. They played their roles perfectly.

There was action, mystery, plotting, love, sweetness overload, family drama, war drama. It had it all and they did and making job pulling it all together. I must say it was really refreshing to get a brave and smart female lead as well as a smart male lead. I totally got the “yanxi palace/minglan wits/smart” vibe from our leads and boy was a it great.

Although there is talks of fighting/ war, this series encompasses the human elements, the rebuilding and the restructuring of what’s right.

This is a rewatch for me. In fact, it just finished and I’ve already went back to a few episodes. Even the music was good.

I highly recommend this.
