Great History-Based Drama

I really like this drama although I wasn't impressed on first episode. This drama give choices to viewers to choose different point of view about what is the most important in life: family or country. Ideally, this should be happy ending. But it was written in history that the reality is not always as good as we wish to.

The story tell about 3 sisters which had very good relationship, who had to accept their destiny to marry ruler's descendants.
Unfortunately, each of their husbands hold a grudge against each other, involved in power struggle, and consequently faced death penalty. Their husband's death made these 3 sisters hate each other, ignoring their promise to their father before his death to have sisterhood trust forever. The ending of their relationship is quite a tragedy. Again, this is a historical based, so you couldn't expect different story.

I like all of the actors/actresses, their are excellent portraying their role. But there are few details that bother me.
1. Han Derang know Xiao Siwen's daughters since childhood. But when he met Yan Yan at the first time, why they don't know each other?
2. Han Derang's mother has already arranged her son to Li Si. And Li Si is her favorite prospective daughter-in-law. Why did she suddenly turn around to support Han Derang's marriage with Yan Yan?
At this point, I feel sorry to Li Si.

The following plot is most about politics, intrigue, and how Mingyi, Yan Yan, and Han Derang solved the problems.

What I like from this drama is there is a loyal person like Han Derang. Even though his love (Yan Yan) was stolen, but he remain faithful for life, both to Mingyi and Yan Yan. For me, this drama succeed to play audience's emotion. Hate, love, passion, anxious. Everything is mixed with a musical composition that is just right to arouse emotions.

All lead males and females get my two thumbs up. Also for supporting roles. As Meng Zi Yi fans, I little disappointed she only had small portion in this serial. But it is ok because her acting is good as expected. Perhaps someday I re-watch this serial but not in near future.
