The first few episodes were a bore, but fortunately the story started picking up it's phase on the succeeding episodes. There were a lot of hilarious scenes and they made me howl with laughter. Dylan is really improving in his acting, I'd have to give him that, even with comedy. Tian Xi Wei is ok for me, but I wish the scriptwriter didn't overdo her playfulness. I liked the guardian yamen peeps, they provided much of the story's meat, specially Gold Gong Yang Yan. He's my fave, and kinda like your campus crush who excelled in everything but surprisingly loyal. The Realm sect, kudos as well to these guys , as they pretty much provided Xu Qi An all the help they can give.

The emotional rollercoaster on the last few episodes caught me off-guard, and it was touching at some degree. Though I felt robbed when the final battle with Emperor Jing Yuan was cut short and he had to be erased in everyone's memories. Gawd I hated it. The county governor's story arc was the most heartbreaking of all. When he was killed in prison, all hell broke loose. Xu Qi An was unstoppable, he had to avenge the poor old man. Even the guardians were ready to defend him to death. The way the imperial guards turned their backs and let Ning Yan beat the shit out of the two villains in league with the emperor. How the judiciary minister deliberately pretended to close the gate with the other court officials and listened in content while the two was beaten outside. It was damn satisfying.

Biggest plot twist, mystery man was Xu Qi An's dad. The friggin' 2nd rank sorcerer who made everyone forget Ning Yan. And the bureau supervisor who could be the real villain in the story. Cliff-hanger hinting on a season 2, I just hope they keep the original cast.
