Overall, this drama is not all bad. There are holes in the story and poor costume design; Don't get me started on Dilraba's different shades of red costume. It's like one of the worst costume design for a period or costume drama. And her earrings, what is that? It's not even aesthetic! It's just so bad. It's one of the worst part of the drama in my opinion.
Now, the drama itself is not that bad. Like all period drama, it started out good and I was waiting for that episode for Zhang Bin Bin to appear. He's not the main male lead in this drama, but the main reason I watch this drama. After that, the middle part gets draggy and long. It started to pick up again the last 15 episodes or so. There are many side characters, and I do enjoy their character development, especially Lei Jing Hong and Dao Lie Xiang. The ending is a bit confusing to me, and I read several comments how people get the ending after watching several times. So not for me! I get confused and this is the first and last time I watch this drama. I couldn't go through and waste another 52 episodes trying to understand the ending. So, it's not a rewatch for me, ever.
The OST on the other hand is great. I could listen to it over and over again. I like the opening song and two other songs that's playing several times throughout the drama.
