A Captivating Drama
It's a suspenseful drama, all over. Wang XingYue did a great job, so did Wu Jin Yan. The ending could have been better. Also, the deaths and punishment of bad people weren't satisfactory. It's almost like watching Game of Thrones' ending ?. Didn't like when Wen Ji and Lin Ji died, the director could have spared them, if he wanted. One of the few things I liked here is the costume of Duke Su. Red proved to be WXY's color. Nonetheless, I have enjoyed the drama, but I doubt that I'll rewatch it, because of the heavy suspense and all.Was this review helpful to you?

Loved the plot ?
I loved this drama with all of my heart. The best thing? Xie Wei's wit. Jang Xuening was good, but my only complain is she didn't whole heartedly accept Xie Wei, while he almost forced her. Yeah later they got married and surprisingly had two kids, but still I'm on Zhang Zhe's side. Anyway, the drama is full of good plot and as historical Chinese drama goes, this one is more modern. I also love rewatching it, everytime when I have nothing else to watch.Was this review helpful to you?

Only Lee Jae Wook Mattered
I watched till the end only for Lee Jae Wook. The female lead made my skin crawl, she was literally pathetic. Both acting and the part she played. Then the guy played Kang Inha. Did he think he was giving a stellar performance with his out of the blue overacting, smiles and not a bit of good looks?! Idk. Not as a villain, but I genuinely didn't like his useless overacting. The storyline wasn't well structured. Not at all. Things were vague, not explained properly, everything fell into our Jang UK's hands so easily. I know it's a 12 ep drama, but things could have been clearer. The fl's and Han Tae Ho's story felt forced and disgusting at times that I literally wanted Kangoh group's daughter to be his Girlfriend. In the last two episodes they made a hasty and cliched ending. There was everything very very predictable. Overall, I expected best performance from Lee Jae Wook and he didn't disappoint. So only him, and nothing else worked in this drama. In future, I would like to see our Jang Uk in a better, solid and prominent storyline.Was this review helpful to you?
