This is phenomenal!

Watch this drama!!! Beautifully created. Every part is so poetic. The relatively fewer episodes lead to better pacing compared to longer dramas that inevitably lead to dragging in the middle. The acting was superb! Bai Lu, Allen Ren and all the supporting characters did justice to this. Bai Lu especially deserves more recognition and projects! The cinematography, costume and music are just plain beautiful!!! I cried like crazy but it was worth it. The story, although a common theme in ancient drama, is beautifully presented. It was so realistic compared to other dramas that each episodes just makes you feel for all the characters. It was so believable that you feel happy, excited, sad, mournful, regretful and heartbroken with them. It's been a long time since I appreciated a drama in all aspects. Some drama, whether modern or ancient, I enjoyed but I still had some big criticism in some areas. However, this one is a masterpiece!!! I know some will be hesitant or might not actually appreciate this because of the genre, but it is definitely worth a try!

P.S. Even if you already know the ending from the spoilers, try not to skip to watch the last few episode. Let the build up of emotions happen and you will appreciate the ending more. :)


I will try to write a more detailed review when I am less busy, but this sums up my feelings about this! This is my first time writing a review actually but I wanted to help encourage people to watch this.

Amongst the 2022 releases so far, this is one of the better ones. Watched this around April. The female lead is not a damsel in distress, the characters are morally gray, and there were a lot of twists. The acting was okay and the plot was enjoyable. There were laugh out loud and sweet scenes that were done well, especially in the mid episodes. However, there were too much unnecessary deaths, and the last couple of episodes, especially the last one just went crazy. The author probably was high when he/she wrote that. Didn’t make sense at all. Let’s all forget episode 34 happened.
