I came to watch this show just for the actors and I'm sorry to say that nor the actors nor the storyline was convincing to me. All this story is a fake with nothing tangible and lots of clichés already seen in other dramas. I've been quite disppointed watching this, first of all because of the main actors : even if Xu Kai is quite handsome, he is far away from being the great actor he was in Story of Yanxi Palace, Bai Lu is just not credible in her role : really who can see her as a man in this drama ? Even worse, when Bai Lu is Xie Xian she is even less attractive than when pretending to be a man ! I went on watching this drama till the end hoping for nice moments to come but they never show up ! Honestly, this was a big production but the storyline is awfully uninteresting and the characters just boring. It's such a pity.
