it's not perfect, it tends to drag at some plot points. I love it all the same ???

the novel is fan translated into English and is a great read as well.

the characters are full, complex, and heartwarming. Tang Fan is way brattier in the show than the novel; sometimes it can be over the top.

the actors are fantastic.

the set design is gorgeous. rich, lush lighting and colors.

excellent fight choreography. Sui Zhou's fight scenes are usually ???
