Politics, War and Romance

This is my first series with Dilraba as the main female lead. At first a bit hesitate to watch this, as I don't really like the male lead.
Overall this series is good, the story flow and paced nicely, not too much romance, just enough. Not too heavy with the politics, just enough for the entertainment purpose. The war scenes are good, fighting scene also good. Recommended to those looking for great story with politics and war and a hint of romance. Not heavy politics like 3 kingdoms and stuff, but entertaining.
Some scenes a bit weird though, especially the horse riding scene, really really fake and not natural. In episode one when Li chang ge ride the horse, can see that she is not really riding the horse but something else and got other scene also the same result. But this is a minor.
Story wise, yet to read the novel..but I think as usual there's deviation with the novel.
In my opinion Ashile Shun should be play by other actor with bigger build and face to suit the grassland people image. Leo Wu is too small for that.
Overall all casts acting are good, especially Zhao Lu Si here, as we can see her great acting transformation from a cry baby princess to a strong princess.
