They keep you guessing, that's for sure! XD

I have to say at first I couldn't see any chemistry between the ML & FL, but an instant connection between the ML, Ye XiuDu (Liu Xue Yi) & child lead, Yu QingNan (Zhang ZiHan). That was undeniably wholesome, tolerant & loving - giving vibes of "this man is good with children." Lol As you continue watching & the story progresses, so do the relationships between the characters & boom, the chemistry I felt was missing appeared. I'm not usually stuck on the MLs, but Liu XueYi's performance was memorable; I fell in love with XiuDu and appreciated how he butted heads with Li ZiFan (Hu Wei). It was pleasing different & ZiFan, though he has love for Yu QingLuo (Wang Zi Wei), is respectful, caring & understanding with none of the hate or spite typical of some male friends who missed their chance. He even respects & supports his rival, XiuDu, while still ready to challenge him. Oh did I forget to mention that there are lots of gorgeous men (Xu HeNi as XiaoGuoZi, Li MingXuan as XiaoHong [he played RongXuan in Word of Honor!!!], Jovi Xu as Qing Heng) in the series too!? They all did pretty well. Even the Emperor's Eunuch was uptight, unbribable & a reassuring presence connected to the emperor.

This series has funny moments too but did play up the memory loss thing too much. Once you get to the end, they tastefully gave you the hope of something more with a perfect wrap up of the story. All in all, it has a 9.5 ;) Bravo everyone! Thanks to everyone, including subbers & Viki folk, involved. I loved it :)
