The Fearless, Good Natured & Quick-Witted Main Leads + Unending Plotting & Scheming in a Harem.

Where do I even start with?... This drama could honestly be better if they toned down a little bit on the unending plotting and scheming that resulted to some of them getting repetitive and irritating. It went on and on to the point where it feels like they spent 85% of the story on it and that's really disappointing cause I feel like they could've done more and better with its 54 episodes in comparison to what it has right now.

Honestly, the plotting and scheming weren't bad at all instead it was crafty and intelligent. However, anything 'too much is bad' and that's what made me raise my brow a little; but overall it was great.

Also, I love how versatile they're in changing the mood of the scenes; They go from being intense to mellow in literally a second and that really helps in lighting up the mood a lot of times. Aside from that, one thing that made this drama lighter and fun are the side story of Ming De X Tuoba Di as we as Cheng De X Jun Tao. They saved the viewers and the drama from its maximum distress and grief countless of times.

Another thing I wanna mention is the horrendous styling of Wei Young and Jun Tao on the first episode. it almost ruin my taste and expectation of the drama; thank god they improved and redeemed theirselves afterwards. Also the ridiculous and clichè plots has left some lingering distate on my mouth. I mean, how could they put it like that? who the hell incorporated them in this? cause I badly wanna talk and scold them for it. This could've been great if only the writers' tried harder in brainstorming better ideas to make the story more interesting and 'new' story wise.

Lastly, fighting scenes are extremely lacking and majority of them are bad. The only good ones are with Chuyan Nan and Jun Tao while the rest are trash and full of camera works.+ OVER DUBBING sucks! It was the worst! ><

Story - 9.0, It could've been better if they lessen the excessive plotting and scheming but even with it the story overall is good. It did reach a point where it started to get really irritating but I would never say it's bad. It was cunning and crafty well done however improvements can still be applied in a lot of areas. + The ending is just Great! It may not be the best conclusion to a story but it was satisfying and reasonable.

Acting/Cast - 10, Stellar!! Luo Jin is automatically a 10 over 10 and no one really did badly overall. I'm also glad to know that the main leads has acted on multiple projects before and I guess that helped out so much with their chemistry. Hell! They're even married in real life and that made me even thrilled in watching in. — I'm extremely satisfied and really entertained with each one of their performances.

Music - 10, Great use of ballad and mellow music. Ghad, i'm in love with every songs used on this drama. I have another batch of great music added on my playlist to listen to. Really love it <3

Rewatch Value - 9.5, It surely have its bad sides but I think that's not a heavy reason for me to slander this drama in any means possible. I was well entertained and fascinated all throughout the drama and that's what really matters to me. I would still watch it again if given a chance for sure.

Overall - 9.5, This drama was not perfect. It wasn't even bad and definitely better than 'decent'. It just got some minor plot issues but aside from them it is really good. I contemplated a lot whether to give it a 9.0 or 9.5 but at the end this drama just fallback in one or two particular area and the rest are really great so this rating is just enough and deserving I'd say.
