I tortured myself by drudging through this ridiculous drama, and I'm not sure why. This is a period piece--not a fantasy, but multiple pot holes exist in the badly written script that make the story impossible to believe. Also highly disappointing is Riley Wang--not only in this--but also in Song of the Moon, another C-Drama with very bad special effects, worse character development, and a story that didn't seem to have a direction. The reason many of us switch to J-Dramas and K-Dramas is that they are not cookie cutter dramas for nationalism or completely ridiculous plotlines or stories with star actors like A Romance of the Little Forest or Meet Yourself which are so boring they could cure insomnia. Another big mistake is the 5-10 minute episode dramas popping up all over which contain more time in intros and end credits than actual substance. China, Zàijiàn!
