Overall this was a fantastic drama with incredible actors and a well-written story. Each episode left me wondering what challenges would come up and how they would be overcome. The characters themselves were excellent and I think not having too much romance really helped keep the focus of the show. I also though the female lead's character fit well since often you'll see one who is too soft/weak or just gives in too quickly. This was the first drama of Hu Ge's that I've seen and I'm looking to see what other performances of his can top this one.
