This will definitely go down as one of my favorite longer dramas. The chemistry between all the actors was fantastic. I like that it had a romance feel to it..but did not get lost in it. It was totally realistic. It flowed with an interesting "historical" element.....but don't be put off .. it's not boring at all. It got an 8.6 score here..but I'd tell you it's a 10. I'm not sure I could re-watch a long drama ~ but if I did this would be top on the list...Lu Yi the male lead gets my vote for the next James Bond 007... he sizzled. =D
