I'm a sucker for Huo Wallace and usually find if he's in it then it's always pretty good. Once again I was not disappointed. This didn't really have the old time elegance and plot of 'Cruel Romance' (my current favourite drama) - it was more like an historical 'docudrama' and so could be quite slow in places. But the characters were believable, the setting suitably bleak and the story more than watchable; and, of course, Huo Wallace was brilliant. I'd give it 8.5/10.
