I usually don't review TV shows but this is not the usual show that I'd watch. There is so much to like about the plot and character development. Absolutely loved each and every character and their respective actors. Everyone slayed their characters; the caste is so good !! I have not read the novel so i cannot cmpare the two but i can surely say that this drama is worth a watch. There are a lot of lessons in this drama; some are outrightly stated (dialogues) while others are hidden; portrayed in a rather easy way to figure out. Not a typical chinese drama either; yes the annoying opposition is there but it's a part of the story. *no spoilers so won't say further*. The team work, passion, determination, healthy competition and environment; hat a complete show.
