Overall it is a well produced drama, it is evident that there is careful thoughts and abundance of money given to make this.

Cinematography is quite excellent, there might be some disturbances with the dark tone, but it actually fits with the heavy theme.

Storyline is quite hard to enjoy if you are not familiar with the three kingdoms background, but for those who gets it, it is indeed an enjoyable watch to be immersed in the "spy wars" of the era.

The casting and acting are overall well done, this is one of the most star-studded drama in recent years, even Angelababy did not disappoint.

In short, it is one of Cdramas with decent quality in recent years. Well done to director Lu Yang and team.
