This is one of my favorite dramas ever. It follows the same story of Scarlet Heart with the girl time traveling back to the Qing Dynasty and getting entangled with the princes and palace intrigue. Mixed into the story are plot pieces pulled clearly right from Meteor Garden. Some of the princes make up the "F4".

The overall story is good and kept me interested. It can be silly and goofy at times but I find it enjoyable. There is one area around I want to say episode 10 where they send the female lead to take care of a tomb and that part is kind of dumb and I just skip it during rewatches. I have rewatched this drama at least 2 times. When I finished this drama I was depressed and in a show hole for months!

The opening song was so good it just touches my soul. I do like some of the other songs too.

The cast is great and Yang Mi is my favorite Chinese actress (make sure to watch her in 10 Miles of Peach Blossoms and Legend of Fu Yao too!)
