I am super glad I decided to watch this drama. Not only is this drama a very quick watch (21 eps at about 20 minutes of watch time per ep), but you can tell there is a chemistry between the male actors as they are all from a C-POP boy group, X NINE. I am not sure if this drama is supposed to be serious or silly, but I enjoyed this first season because even though there was some wild scenes with soldiers being murdered, the fighting scenes made me laugh so hard!! Even though the acting was not the greatest, you can tell that the actors are very close and they are enjoying their roles and acting with one another. I think it would have been worth a 7.5/10, but then you have that WILD ending!

Overall, I think my favorite characters would have to be the emperor's younger brother, the Prince (Aquarius) and the emperor's uncle's right hand, Gemini. Even though Gemini doesn't have many scenes, he bring this quiet sass to his role that he absolutely destroys at!! I think Aquarius is my favorite character though. From the beginning he is this charismatic and fun character who plots and gossips with our main character Fei Fei. Plus, even though he is goofy 99% of the time, he does have his serious moment where he is this badass fighter who can keep up with Leo, the general of Pieces's army. I feel bad for not thinking my sign, Leo, is the best character even though she is one of the few women zodiac members, but she is growing on me in season 2. Also, Aquarius acts like a little and big brother to Fei Fei - he follows her around and always supports her ideas, but he also takes the initiative to help her and his older brother get together. Not only that, but when all things look grim for Fei Fei after finding out a big secret, he is the first person to pick her side when the person she loves didn't. It might be from having no sense of responsibility since he is the second in line for the throne, but of all the zodiac members, I believe Aquarius has the most faith and loyalty for people, including Fei Fei. Plus, you know...his smile <3

Then we have the two love interests of Fei Fei - the emperor, Capricorn - Bei Tang Yi, and the emperor's uncle, Pisces - Bei Tang Tang (who I swear his name is Chen in the drama). Even though The Emperor technically saved Fei Fei in ep 1 from drowning when she was teleport-ed , his uncle, Chen, is the one who sheltered her and continuously gives her protection from the emperor, who really wanted to execute her in the beginning of the drama. He is very gentle towards her and continuously tells and proves to her that he likes her, but it is super hard for me to ship them after Fei Fei befriended Cancer, who is in love with Chen, but is engaged to the emperor. But I do feel bad because he was heartbroken when the emperor basically put his claim on Fei Fei, even though he didn't admit he liked her for the longest time and did the whole middle school crush thing with her. I would say that I hope we get to see a more complicated love triangle in season two, but I don't think we will get that. As for the emperor...I have mixed feelings with him. Not only does he do the middle school crush thing, but he plays up the innocent virgin stereotype who doesn't know what to do so he locks her up in his dungeon. I kind of dislike how they poke fun at him for that for a few episodes, but I guess we are going for a middle school humor for this drama. Since the emperor has no idea what he is doing even though Fei Fei tells him what to do, he is very hot and cold, which leads us to the ending, where I lightweight blamed him for Fei Fei's fate, even though it is an important plot point starting season 2. It is very hard to read him as he has a single facial expression. I think he has issues trust people completely, but no idea why because we don't get much of a backstory with him. But I guess there really isn't a follow through with anything in this drama as everyone knew that Fei Fei had a power that canceled out the zodiac's power...yet no one thought it was, I don't know....weird?? Healing powers though...yeah...that sparked from concern from everyone!! Like I feel like the canceling of powers would be more concerning that a healing power...but that is just me.

I am excited to continue watching season two! It looks like it will be good and Fei Fei will take on more of a leader role in this!
