But it can't be helped that this drama is so great! The plot is very interesting and never gets boring. Normally in this kind of drama the plot is roughly always the same but not here. The story here is concetrated on love but the fight for the throne is just as important. It sounds like just all the other chinese historical dramas but the huge different is what happens in the process of this drama. The two main topics were balanced brilliantly. There was always love but at the same time the political topic never disappeared it was also always there so you could never get sick of too much love or too much politic.
The lovestory in this drama is very very good, over the whole drama it progesses without stopping so there is no dissappointment in the development!
It is also the most heart-breaking and yearning lovestory I know, even after watching it I still feel the longing that the lovers had for each other.
The cast for the main characters are superb! I could never have imagined that their chemestry where so good.
Normally I'd prefer eyecandies as actors (no offense) 'cause I symphatize faster with them when I don't know them but here I realized that I appreciate the characters even more when I don't symphatize with their actors at the very beginnging because then I can learn to love them with every episode.
Just as I wrote, I didn't think that the actors where eyecandies but after the second sight I thought they where really handsome and now I just love them. And I love them even more because thier acting are top! Both leadactors ware very passionate in thier acting and it was so intense that you just got carried away by it.
The actress didn't lost to her collegagues 'cause she didn't put less skill and passion into her acting. I often think that the leadactresses are not really convincing in thier acting but Lui Cecilia did a more than a convincing and beautiful job.
I also really respect Lui because in this drama it looks like she barely put any make-up on her face and still looks so good. Especially in the scenes when she cries it looks like she's really crying with a red face and running nose.
The music in this drama is great. The songs have good lyrics and also a nice melody and made me cry like hell at the end but the instumental irritates me a little bit because in a actually sad scene there sometimes are happy tones.
What I didn't like was the simulation. I was in a bad quality and looked like you just put a real person in a comic world.
It also really bothered me that in ca. 30 years they all still look the same and they didn't even make the effort to make them look a little bit older. Except a few strand of white hair or a whiskers. But Yuoxi didn't get any older!:o
Overall I really love this drama because there are so many ups and downs and the story captured me over the last 4 days.
I'd also rewatch it if I had the patience.

How I got to this drama? I liked Yang Mi in the previous dramas she acted but they were all historical dramas and so I wanted to give it a try and see how she's doing in a modern drama.
The story of this drama is good at the beginning and made me want to non-stop watch it, but after the story goes on it got a bit boring.
The acting in this drama is alright, not very outstanding but also not bad. The feelings that were shown always felt real but didn't really touched my heart. Everyone except Lau Hawick and Wan Qings father were OK in thier acting. I really liked Lau Hawicks and Wan Qings father's acting very much because they made me feel frustrated when they were and also happy when they were happy. There were very much feelings in thier acting.
I think this cast was well choosen because the characters that were in matched each other but also maybe because the main characters already acted as a couple in other dramas. As a couple in this drama they harmonized very good and I always loved to see the two of them together.
The development of each of the characters were sometimes dissappoinng also sometimes good but what really surprised me was that in the whole drama I didn't really hated one of them. Each character had thier own personallity and many of them had a moment where I really disliked them but as much as I disliked one of them the next moment I started to symphatize with them again.
I didn't really noticed the music, the only thing I know is that the musik that was played always matched when there were happy moments or sad moments.
What really annoyed me??
It wasn't something about the story of the drama it was the beginning and the end of every episode. At the beginning of every episode there is a review sometimes the reviews are just 30 sec long but somethimes there where 10min long!(WTH) And also the end of EVERY episode they didn't left me with a cliffhanger but I had the feeling that they just cut the scene carelessly when the episode should end.
To tell the truh I wouldn't rewatch the drama, not because the drama is not good but because at the end it was really hard to keep on watching it and I rarely ever watch a drame twice.
Maybe I judged the drama to hard but I think it's better to have a bad impression and get surprised than to have to high expectation and get dissappointed.
I hope this review helped you and I hope that you choose to watch this drama because it is worth it!!:D
