Just finished watching this last week. A drama with happy ending, beautiful locations, stunning clothing, variable story lines, and mixed of characters/personalities. The embroided gown/uniform was just stunning!! A period/historical/fantasy/romance /love triangle heaven for C-drama lovers.

Some spoilers coming next! I wasn't very keen with Lu Yi character at the beginning. He was just a sour resting face guy who wears a stunning embroided gown. He was ruthless, a bit of a snob and thinks very highly of himself. BUT, later on, when he started to smile more and confesses his love to Jin Xia, you can't help falling in love with him too. He is so handsome when he smiles! Jin Xia, on the other hand, was a happy go lucky, ass kicking, albeit a little bit childish and annoying at the beginning, somehow turn into a helpless young woman towards the end, again a bit annoying. It would have been great if her character could be strong all the way throughout the drama. But, happy ending nonetheless (sigh!!)

Couldn't really get into Xie Xioa character at all. He gets to clingy and almost cringe worthy when he was declaring his love to Jin Xia. This guy cannot take no for an answer. Da Yang's romance was watchable and I am glad for a happy ending for them too.

Now, lets talk about the baddie, the one and only Yan Shi Fan. My goodness, he is a nasty piece of work, but with his one green eyes and devil may care demeanour, you can help but love him too (maybe it is just me). His acting was spotless and you can feel the fear in your heart when he flicked his fan.......A tall and handsome bad boy, what more can you asked for.

The opening and ending songs were so good and stuck in your head long after the drama ended. I like it that much, they are both in my playlist now. Really touching songs and Allen Ren singing voice is so haunting and soothing. I like the ending so much, I even re-watched Episode 55 again.

Highly recommended and a must watch C-drama. As for re-watchable - definitely a few re-watchable episodes.
