This drama is one of a kind and I'm glad that there is three seasons to it and that it's spaced out so we can truly get an amazing product.

Story: When I first watched this drama, I was slowly wondering where this drama would go as I did not read the synopsis or anything about it. I came for Zhang Ruo Yan (ZRY) lol. However, as I kept watching, I found myself to be wanting more. There were so many twists and turns and suspense but every surprise made sense and you can't help but wonder how FX is going to deal with the surprises. The ending is a cliffhanger but it's not a bad cliffhanger because you start to wonder why it happened and you start to predict what would season 2 bring.

Cast: ZRY never disappoints and he was perfect in this drama. If we look at just his character as FX, FX is a main character that never gets on your nerves because he's not too good but he's not too perfect. He's funny, brave, smart, witty, and all of the above. It was very refreshing to see a protagonist like him out of all the protagonists that I've seen before. As for Wan'er, I actually really like her character and don't think she's boring at all. I think it's because FX left too soon so we don't get to see how Wan'er could help him or be more "important". I know a lot of people ship FX with Duo Duo but I see them more as best friends or at best siblings as they are too alike. I actually really like him w/ Wan'er because she's not apart of the drama but FX is willing to explain to her and tell her the truth which is something I rarely see in couples in dramas lol. Xin Zhi Lei nailed Duo Duo and I freaking love her lol she's entertaining. I love CPP and the emperor and I will fight the director if they do not reclaim their roles in the next 2 seasons lol .

Cinematography: The scenes were beautiful and I love the fight scenes as it looked real and cool :)

Overall: This drama took my breath away. I am having withdraw symptoms as I am writing this. I can't wait for season 2 especially after the ending of this season. I highly recommend this drama as it's different and the fact that they planned for 3 seasons, it has rarely happened in the Chinese drama industry so I know there must be a wonderful plot coming up. I really am looking forward to season 2 and 3 and honestly I would rewatch this season again bc it's just that good.
