I just finished watching it and I really loved it. The story is well written and I found it very refreshing thanks to the female main lead. Ban Shu is so fresh, young, naive in some ways but so true. I found the characters well played, I love Wei Ying (Zhang Zhehan who I discovered watching Yunxi legend) and the chemistry they have together is quite deep. I like to see how the students grow up and change in a good way thanks to their teachers Ben Shu and Yao Jun, a perfect duet. The funny character of Yao Jun added to Huo Heng gives some really funny moments much appreciated. I also like Deng Zhi who is a kind person too despite his rude way of saying things. I also like the way the emperor grows and changes as well, more mature and responsible, soon ready to run his country! The whole story is a real entertainment! I would rewatch again but after a year I guess.
