I read the manga version of The Great Ruler. I was expecting some similarity in the drama, but I was blown away by the changes in the story. I love the setting of the environment and setting. The romance between Mu Chen and Luo Li is really exciting. The story is slow at the beginning, but after they introduce all the character it is when the story was so thrilling that I watched all 48 episodes in 3 days. The romance between Mu Chen and Luo Li is not overpowering as we can see the development of the side characters. My love for the manga was the same for the drama.
