No doubt that Xiao Zhan is beautiful as ShiYing. So far i am loving the drama, the story line (i did not read the novel) . Xiao Zhan’s acting is great! Reminds me of Wei Wu Xian. The special effect is superb. I do noticed familiar shooting locations as Chen Qing Ling. My only reserve on this drama so far is the female lead. I will need to watch few more episodes to be able to evaluate the female lead again. I cannot feel the chemistry between Shi Ying and Zhu Yan yet. The other cast are OK. I like the relationship between Shi Ying and his companion Chong Ming. Cute like annoying didi
