The female lead is sooo cute! and the male is so handsome. and they have great chemistry. The story line is simple and I like that and I do appreciate humor very much.
But the acting is not always good.
The Female lead Tian Qi is not consistent. She seems confused most of the time which make you wonder HOW she can come up with a plan to avenge her parents deaths while cross dress as a man, which is another problem with most asian dramas when the do gender bender series. LIKE make little more effort in the fact that she looks even more like a woman while she is dressed in a mans clothing.
I do however like how the two leads have come to like each other slowly but surely.
This series has 28 eps but Ji Heng finds out the Tian Qi is a woman more than 20 eps in?! And as soon as he finds out they got tougher. doesn't matter that she was scared to death at any moment he'll kill her for any reason and the worst one is that she's a WOMAN! and He's attitude immediately changed towards her but to be fair he has for most of this series has a soft spot for her, it was just hard for him to realized or pin point exactly why.
The end seems so rushed the problems comes and goes so fast. And Tian QI stab Ji Heng in the abdomen is a bit much and unlikely for Tian Qi to do, which again shows inconsistent with how Tian Qi's character has be developing during the series.
but over all I think the characters are all pretty good, they all have a purpose and plays well. just very disappointing that the writing seems lazy and rushed towards that end because this could have been a really CUTE little series.
with THAT being said. it is still a really CUTE series to watch and I enjoyed it.

This is my first review for an Asain drama and if it weren't for the quarantine I probably wouldn't watch so many and bumped into this amazing drama. Its probably one of few dramas that I've watched not because of the lead actors but because the story keeps you watching. It's tight and mysterious, funny and sensible, keep you guessing until the very end.
Fan Xian is one of my favorite fictional characters in a drama. He is smart and funny. compassionate and calculating and so so interesting in that you never feel embarrassed in the embarrassing things that he does. This is like a crime drama and he is the detective of his own life.
the Emperor is great, the actor is even better. Chen Pingping is a sneaky old man, I have a feeling he holds all the cards.
I love the Fan family they fit together in that they are a diverse gang of personalities and brilliant in their own ways. And I think Fan Ruoruo is the best female character in this series. she has amazing chemistry with Fan Xian.
I like all the characters in the drama, they all serve a purpose.
the only part they didn't do so well is the chemistry between Fan Xian and Lin Wan'er, and I think many of you would agree with me.
and damn that second prince is really something.
and lately, this series has 2 more seasons which is all 2 years apart which is accessive and I think it'll a lot of fans because of it.
