I was skeptical about this drama in the beginning due to the fact that it is a slow burn drama. I've watched The Story of Minglan and A Dream of Splendor and I apologize to anyone who is a big fan of these two dramas but I couldn't stay focus to the storyline at all. I pretty much did a lot of skipping from one scene to another. One of my friend recommended this drama to me and well, I'm happy that I've gave this drama a shot. For the first time, other than xianxia and wuxia dramas, I actually watch this drama one episode to another without skipping. Normally, I'm into xianxia and wuxia dramas because I love the fantasy genre. I'm not really into historical drama that much because usually they've tend to dragged a lot and it's too long. This is the first historical drama I've actually enjoy watching and willing to wait for the next episodes. This drama is a masterpiece and deserves an award. These actors and actresses along with the team members did a wonderful job.
