Don't Watch This Drama

A great plot was ruined by endless stupidity, misunderstandings, and more misunderstandings.

All of the problems were mainly caused by misunderstandings because the characters assume something and they do not explain themselves

The main character is terribly bullied by her mother-in-law and it is so annoying that she doesn't fight back or explain herself.

Although I really like the plot where the couple don't Iike each other at the start and eventually fall in love with each other like Ming Lan, I feel like I wasted my time on this drama.

An Amazing Disaster. DO NOT WATCH.

This show started well and ended in a disaster. It's like a gigantic Christmas present that only has a small baby nail clippers inside. What a waste of time!

I know that they wanted to create another Joy of Life but they failed flat on the ground.

The main character Xu Feng Nian is nothing but a phony strategist because half of the time he only gets saved by someone who pops out of thin air and not because of his cunning moves. As you can surmise from the poster, he was packaged to be a hero with great sword skills but really he's a lousy fighter who is saved by all his minions. And this makes his overly confident and annoying attitude unacceptable. He's not even at par with Wang Yibo's or Xu Kai's charm, so he doesn't have an excuse to be annoying and incompetent.

Oh, and don't be fooled by the action genre because the fight scenes here are 80% talk, 10% retreating, 7% choir conducting, and 3% actual fighting.

The main character, without sufficient reason (unless he's gay and he's into literally dirty old men), is overly attached to a character (old Huang, his groom) like a convicted obsessive ex-lover, but this is not enough reason to drive the story forward. The writer forced this drive (him wanting to get Old Huang's swords in Wudi City) for the main character and it's repulsive, disgusting even.

I don't understand how this got an 8.5/10 but hey, Donald Trump and Rodrigo Duterte became presidents so WTH.

Please don't waste your time on this.

The casting director must be an idiot

Ang pangit ng bida.

Hindi ko masikmura na ang teenage emperor na si Shi Huang Ti ay ginanapan ng lalaking mukhang 50 years old.

Tapos paulit-ulit pa nilang sinasabi na teenager siya. Pinilit ko namang tanggapin ang katatantaduhan ng casting director kaya nga umabot ako hanggang episode 25. The actor looks disgusting in acting as a teenager who is reliant on his mother and godfather and throws tantrums. May pa-pout-pout pa ng lips at brat-bratan. I cringed.

Pero di ko na talaga kinaya noong mameet niya si Lady Mi at mukha siyang Lolo ni Lady Mi. Kadiri tingnan. Mukha siyang senior citizen na nambababae pa at feeling bata.

Naalala ko tuloy yung Ever Night. Sinira rij ng casting director yung series kasi yung female lead ay mukhang Grade 7 na nakikipaglandian sa poging college graduate.

OK sana ang plot, mejo mabagal nga lang ang takbo ng kwento. Pero I just can't buy the whole story because of the lousy casting and lousy acting.
