Pros:
- You can tell the production team really put a lot of thought into making this drama. It's unlike other historical dramas; the concept feels fresh. The whole "travel back in time" thing makes more sense as the story progresses.
- They reveal the truth gradually, making everything click perfectly by the end.
- The characters are well-developed, especially the female lead. She's morally gray, which is understandable given her backstory. It makes the story feel more realistic. The chemistry between the characters is amazing. The emotions portrayed by the leads are palpable.
- I enjoyed it. Some might find it slow, but it's all about the build-up, and it pays off.

Cons:
- I don't know much about royal rules, but it seems off that private matters always need to be reported to higher authorities.
- Qian keeps talking about her "rebirth" and past life, but no one really reacts or questions her, except her maid. It's bizarre how this becomes normal, and no one questions a noble lady rambling in public.
