This is a wonderful piece of work. In fact, it is one of the first dramas I have ever watched and it hooked me in right from the beginning . The story itself is beautiful and the acting was top notch. The music also really set the scene well. The parts with Feng Jiu and Emperor Dong Hua were very sweet, but heart breaking. Although the story goes at a nice pace, it was a bit too long I don't have the patience to watch it again, as you can from my relatively low rating for the rewatch value. However I have watched it twice and the CGI is really good. Fortunately the story has a happy ending (spoiler alert). All in all I recommend it. Even if it was long it was worth the time.
