I'm not usually a big fan of "fantasy" when it comes to my historicals, but this one hit all the best notes without the usual obnoxious characters, storylines, or horrible CGI.
The romance was amazing.
The story was epic and had layers and depth.
All the side characters were interesting and fun.
I never wanted to skip scenes and I binged this like a pro. I adored it and added it to my "favorite Chinese historical" list easily! If you're on the fence... WATCH IT. You won't regret it. :)
