If you're looking for a fast paste romance or a wuxia/xianxia type of of drama, then this show is not for you. This drama has nothing to do with magic, gods/goddess, forbidden love, curse, and reincarnation (multiples of lifetime love). It's pretty much a historical drama where you'll see regular fighting, family problems, politics, and of course romance. Not going to lie, this IS a slow burn romance drama and if slow burn romance drama is not your type, don't force yourself to watch it and waste your time. My opinion on this drama, it's a decent drama. Something I'll re-watch again after it's completely aired. It has it's own unique style of writing and storyline. I don't really care much about music so I don't mind the lack of music. Every actors/actresses has portry their part of the characters really well. I'm really glad that the director and script writer decided to stick to the original novel as much as possible. You don't see people doing that in today's entertainment. Usually the story has changed completely or there's too many changes that it becomes even more confusing than the original. I've seen many video clips of the bts and I'm very impressed by how hard the lead couple have work. They might come off as stiff for some of you but, remember that's how the characters itself is like in the original. I have nothing bad to say about this drama. The only bad part about it is the long wait for it's aired episodes. Anyway, we all have our own taste in dramas so please don't be mean and respect each others opinions and respect the drama and crew members, everyone has worked very hard. Thank you for reading my review! Happy drama!
