I can already say the rewatch value is high because I am not even sure how many times I've rewatched this drama from episode 1.
This is probably one of those dramas that I think is near close to being perfect. I had high expectations for this drama, and it definitely has not disappointed. I will add that the script is very layered, it takes maybe 6 or so episodes for the drama to pick up (however when I rewatched it after having an idea of the bigger picture, even those first few slower episodes were wildly interesting to me). Plus each time you rewatch, you catch more details, more connections and analyzing the complex characters in this drama and their motivations is something that is deeply satisfying. The drama does have arc's (and each arc may feature some characters more than others) and new and interesting characters are introduced throughout the drama to build the plot in a meticulous way.
The cast is superb. I think this is one of the top 3 dramas for me in terms of where every single character from the main cast, to supporting cast to even minor roles has played their characters to perfection. The direction, attention to detail, cinematography, sound editing, sets, costumes, lighting, fight scenes and the music scores are amazing.
The chemistry between the two main leads is out of this world. Even the simplest scene with them in it just takes my breath away. One other thing I would mention about this drama is that this is the only Chinese costume drama where I haven't skipped forward some parts, and this is one of the only dramas that has made me feel EVERY emotion as a viewer watching. There is no wasted air time and its like a roller coaster ride of joy, tragedy, humour, fascination, shock, anger, embarrassment, butterflies etc.
Definitely give this a chance and stick with it prior to the slower build at the start. It is so worth it <3
