This series is meh. I watched it because of the whole high rating, but it's not that impressive to be rated 8.7. There are so many WTF moments! The acting is great. The costumes and hairdos are not as beautiful and elaborate as the historical Chinese series. The main female lead's face sometimes looks like she could be playing the wretched evil character.

I am sorry, but I have to drop this series. Call me shallow all you want, but if I have to waste my time I'd like to watch beautiful ladies with beautiful costumes!! hahahahahahaah
