What does the drama bring us ?

Culture:
It shows part of Chinese cultural elements: tea and tea plays, cakes, dancing, ancient paintings, instruments, clothing….and the history of the Northern Song dynasty. It’s really a dream of splendor in the Eastern Capital.

Casts, Costume, Set and Aesthetic View:
I must say, Liu Yifei’s beauty is like a diamond you can’t miss. She’s really a fairy in costume dramas. Chen Xiao is a suitable mature actor for her. They have great chemistry. Other characters are all in their stories.

This drama has gorgeous clothing, beautiful scenery, movie-like cinematography, and a laid-back atmosphere.

Relationships:
This drama describes the relationships between the couples, sisters, father & son, emperor & empress, female characters & their bad ex….. We can see all the characters vividly with their personalities and stories, even the villain Ouyang Xu. He is both immoral and poor because of his background.

Feminist:
I think this is the only costume C-drama in recent years that discusses the feminist and female survival situation. All the female characters have their growth path. It was very hard in ancient times. And it’s also thought-provoking in modern society.
