Gave it a 10 to boost the ratings quite more for it deserves it.

This is a drama that wasnt even in my radar for dramas this year and only saw it here in mdl as well. Genuinely I could not express how much this type of dramas are heartwarming of the way they portray romance. This drama is definitely equal slight close in terms of maturity and romance themes alongside Love Like the Galaxy, one of the few chinese costume dramas that still holds up till this day.

If you appreciate great and coherent storytelling where the scriptwriter definitely took time to craft the events, this is the show for you. Story and character arcs did not feel rushed because of this. Speaking of characters, despite the show having 6 notable characters, 3 couples, the drama made sure to give audience an idea and set individuality to each so the romance between couples and their conclusion did not feel forced unlike most costume dramas I've seen this and past years. I appreciate this. Surprising favorite character i've had in this show is the Empress, a really interesting empress/character I've seen in a while in cdramas.

Only downside is that it ended actually damn. Amazing drama and might've saved costume dramas in 2024 as of right now.
