ALMOST great
Okay so the beginning was great. I loved it but it soon turned very draggy very fast. Like the build up of the villain for YuHu and TianLei's storyline was good but the big climax was hella weak. Also the storyline of the Princess and Pingwei was so not needed. That was a waste of time. Buqu and Bingyan were missing from way too many episodes to be still be considered as mains.I was really disappointed because it started off so good. Watch at your own risk. The acting wasn't bad tho.

Sad Not Bad!!!! / A Whirlwind Of Emotions
I would like to start out by saying This drama has a sad ending not a bad ending .I wish I would have waited til it was completed before I began watching. By the title alone I should have known that the ending woud be a sad one. This is the 3rd sad ending cdrama in a row that I've watched (The first 2 were Love in the Desert were the 2nd ML died and Snowy Night Timeless Love where the FL died... Sorry for the spoiler if you were going to watch those shows)Anyways here is my biggest issue ,I'm having a hard time believing that General Yin (Luomei) genuinely fell in love with the crown prince. Like at first I thought it was just a ploy to gain his trust then ultimately side with our ML, I mean even tho she chose the good side she still loved the Crown Prince!!!!! How could a woman that was pining after the ML since they were kids easily make a 180 and fall for the crown prince. He was a treacherous trader who betrayed his own country.Like with her pride and joy for her country there is no freaking way she could have loved someone who did all of that!!!
Also concubine Yan was such a sweet heart. Her and QingYan deaths hurt the most. Her death hurt a little less because I had mentally prepared myself when the physician said that she would suffer during her pregnancy,I knew she would die during child birth or miscarriage.
Qingyan was so loyal and he was my favorite character. I cried the most for him. His death hurt just as much as the deaths of Lu Ji and Wen Ji from The Double(Why are the loyal subordinates getting killed off) Speaking of loyal ,Eunuch Lui's demise was very sad as well.He was so funny and kind. And the large fellow whom they (Ml &FL) met when they were recuperating in the village, he was kind too . I cried like a baby when Jia (Or Yi, I forgot which one) was crying over his body. And now the death that I knew was coming, well actually I thought the ML was going to die but nope it was Mei Lin (FL) I was sad but it really
was shocking cause earlier she told the physician that he couldn't cure her illness. The time jump was definitely needed and it gave the closure that we needed.
Now lets jump subjects. Yue Qin!!!! I actually liked him, I just didn't like him for our female lead. He was definitely a thorn in the ML's side but he wasn't super sinister which is a good thing. All in all it was a pretty decent show with a sad NOT bad ending!!! There's a Difference!!!!
Anyways thanks for coming to my Ted Talk, BYE

Plot twist!!!
Okay so I went into this drama not really expecting much but boy was I surprised. Its a really interesting drama. I suspected that...(Spoiler)The younger brother had something to do with the fire but I was swayed by the way the mother was treated Kiichi. I really hated the father from beginning to end. He was the real villain here. Overall the drama was enjoyable and the actress that portrayed Anzu is AMAZING. Also I wanted a little more of the gold digger girl for some odd reason lol. All in all its worth your time considering its only 8 episodes.

Cute and Lighthearted
Okay so I only watched this drama for Meng ZiYi but I was pleasantly surprised by the other actors. The romance between the mains was too cute.I didn't like Jianmi in the beginning but she ended up being one of my faves, she's all bark no bite lol. Yuan Wei is my favorite character. She surprised me with her fighting ability. I wished we had more from Lady Du and Yun Han (favorite couple) It broke my heart that he didn't tell her he was alive. Prince Hong was a cutie, he also needed more of a storyline. And Last but not least Uncle Song deserved better.Was this review helpful to you?
Just Go Watch It
This was one of the most amazing non romantic J-drama I have ever seen. I didn't really expect much, as it started playing on Netflix after I had completed at different series and was too lazy to find something else lol. If you love the "Found Family" trope then this is for you. I love how they all had their own personal struggles and storylines that intertwined with one another. Its amazing and definitely worth your time.P.S. I happened to Alice in Borderland and realized that the actor who portrays Hatter is in this drama as well.
Why are you still here?????? GO WHAT SMOKING NOW!!!!!!! XO🥰
