I found the series watchable and enjoyed several of the story lines. I agree with reviewer Sienna that it's worth watching story lines 1 & 2 and then skipping to story lines 5 & 6. I found story line 3 a little boring and repetitive, although the characters were likeable. Story line 4 was just too boring and repetitive; thus, I fast forwarded entire chunks of the story to get through it. If you skip episodes 3 & 4, then the series deserves an 8 rating. If you include the "skip" episodes, then I think the series averages out to a 6. Even the likeable Chen Ruo Xuan from Novoland Eagle Flag can't save episode 4. My suggestion is to give this series a try and see if it's a hit with the usual themes and stories with with you are engaged.
