First impression (8 episodes in..) I have just started in on this series of 40 episodes.
Initial set up for cdrama historical detective court love story.
I do find the first few episodes a bit long in establishing the charaters nad trying to keep track of all the parties for future reference will be challenging. I am eager to see hoe much then continue to uncover of the childhood connections with each episode. I feel it would be sweeter to see more of why the FL is so open minded and trusting towards the ML.

Ryan Ding has matured so much into this charater, I Love it. Cant wait to see more of his signature facial geestures.
