I came to this drama rather late.. in fact i watched it after the dancing of phoenix and the heiress.. so this review might be get biased but surely you're all can understand lol

To pull off a wuxia drama is not easy.. moreover a wuxia drama where the ML is not a martial artist

I did not do any research before watching this so in 1st episode i thought the ML must have a secret card.. he cannot just simply be a doctor, for heaven's sake this is wuxia drama.. at some point he must learn something and master it.

Hahaha

Turns out this really is not just a wuxia drama, the plot is also heavy on politic power struggle with revenge as the main theme

What drawn me the most is the character of ML. He is f*cked up, weak and petty but in the same time pitiful and relatable

"To be your son, is it a fortune or misfortune?" This father and son relationship is just heartbreaking. Because of his father's principle, the ML is the one who suffer the most but at the end he still choose to continue his dad's path. Protecting the nation even at the cost of his own life.

Talking about the ending, actually IMO it fits with the last mission which is to mislead the corrupt minister to show his true color in front of everyone... the end game. However by doing also ML will also be held on consequences.. I guess that's why the ML was preparing himself to die after all.

I dont know why some peoples hate the ending. Believe me there are more hateful endings than this drama. I m pretty happy with this and hope to find more dramas like this in the future
