Overall 5.0
Story 9.0
Acting/Cast 7.0
Music 6.5
Rewatch Value 1.0

it's not that good that it needs 55 episodes

story:
this is the only reason i watched. the story is quite different and it has several side stories that's more interesting than the main leads' story.
it didnt even need 10 eps for the ship to sail. it's too rush that they forgot to bring the chemistry on board. that's a shame.
the story of crown prince and the entertainer guy is really something else.

casts and acting:
- xukai
his acting is not much different than the last time i watched him in arsenal military academy. he needs to improve. give him something different, something more challanging. he only has this playboy face that suits the character but his acting was plain.
though everyone is praising him, i dont think i like him here.
his chemestry with the female lead is nowhere to be found. i waited for 16 eps and still didnt get their chemistry. i couldnt anymore, so decided to drop the drama. i didnt wanna waste my time on a drama that doesnt get me the feeling.

-li yi tong
she's actually a good actress. however she failed to deliver the feeling in this drama. i like her in "royal nirvana". probably because she's paired with xukai, suddenly her acting feel so stiff. their interactions are lack of chemistry, so much that i had to admit her chemistry with 2nd lead (prince zhou) is much better.
i shipped her with prince zhou.
everyone thinks he's annoying. but let's be honest. if it was the main male that do what prince zhou does with the female lead (they say he uses his power and privilllage to tease the female lead) i'm sure everyone would think it's sweet or cute. why not him?? this thing happens alot in a drama and no one complains because it is the leading male who do it. but when it come to the 2nd male, everyone is annoyed by him.
double standard much?

- other casts are good. i recognize quite many faces.

overall:
i really dont think this drama needs more than 40 episodes. 36 is better. a little bit draggy her and there somtimes. not too much but enough to bored me.

would i recommend this drama?
well.. if you like xukai or li yi tong you'd probably enjoy it.
but for me no. i lost my appetite juat watching the leads lack of chemistry.
the story itself is not bad if you can handle the 54 episodes of lost chemistry. i couldnt.
