First half of story is abit boring, female lead acting skills average and does not compliment Dylan Wang. Story starts getting better around epi 30 this is where I would applaud the female lead on taking her skills up a notch which made this show much more enjoyable. Love Dylan Wang. Story missed parts that could elevate satisfaction, eg finishing the individual love stories between each couple, the emperor's fate, more emotional scenes that the viewer can feel/ connect to emotions. Otherwise overall not bad
