I thought that it was just me but FL is way too dumb. Like so dumb you want to punch her in the face and say 'wake up ! I get that they were trying to make her innocent but the things she survived thru would have killed any one in another drama.And not knowing your ememy all this time so dumb.
This drama started with promise. Chemistry of the main couple helped move things along because I would just wait for those moments. Then they get married and it was down hill from there.
I can't even start on the King. He was as dumb as FL. Being played like that and still not having backup plans.
This drama is exhausting to watch and even the little sweet moments they have are not enough to save it from a low rating.

I fell in love with the male lead immediately. it was my first time seeing him in any drama and I must say he is a very good actor. Then there is Yang Zi! She is just a gem. i watched this after Ashes of Love and i wabted to see her again. I loved her in that but in Go go squid she had the best chemistry with Han Shangyan!! Even I thought she was that young but shes not. The story kept me captivated because it gad nothing to do with power plays or backstabbing but just real life normal issues and overbearing parents. The music is also amazing wchich lead ne to discover the great Hong Kong group Beyond!! Its a nice touching story worth watching. Go team KK!!

I was always trying to avoid watching this because I felt that it was too long. But by the tym I reached episode 30 I knew that 73 episodes was not going to be enough.
The story started out slow for me but once I got into it I finished the whole drama in 5 days. Minglan is such a loveable girl and honestly I never saw her with second uncle to begin with but I was proven wrong. The schemes with 4th sister OMG and that mother of hers I wanted to scratch their faces.
And the at first mistress of 2nd uncle I knew as he was trouble from that gentle pretense she did but I thot she was going to rily be a concubine then reek havoc. Man did she reek havoc that one. Great actress.
I loved how 2nd uncle finally won her over and she gradually fell for him.
This drama was just good on so many levels that they are not enough words to describe it. One of the best dramas I have watched.

Let me start by tipping my hat off to the writer because what a great story and I wasn't even surprised that we will have season 2 because this was just amazing!!!
The story from ep 1 had me fascinated not to mention how handsome Fan Xian is! It was my first time seeing him in a drama and I was not disappointed he is a great actor.
I feel that there is a lot to be said abt the mystery of his mom and how she come to be such a great women and end up with the king no less! I did not see that one coming Fan Xian was a prince!!!
The writer kept us on edge most episodes and although I'm usually a hopeless romantic I for once found myself not concerned about whether his romantic relationship would grow or not, I wanted more on the politics and the suspense. I got goose bumps every tym a secret was revealed or a plot was discovered like wow I didn't see that coming.
All the actors did a great job, I mean that king and the overnight watch, like masterminds. Those guys must be good in chess cause their minds are just amazing.
I have rewatched this 3 times now and I'm still amazed at some of the plots I missed the first time. DEFINITELY A MUST WATCH!!!!!
