About the storyline, I don't think I've ever watched anything like this. Maybe because I also never really watch historical dramas, but this. This one really did it for me. It's just so original, touching and overall a masterpiece. Nothing was expected or just cliche, no cringe at all and I give the actors a big round of applause for this.
The acting was SUPERB. I honestly came here for Xiao Zhan, but the two main leads' performance, Li Qi ans Darren Wang's, was amazing. I got to know knew actors and I'm looking forward to other future works.

Gosh the relationship between Li Qin and Darren Wang is just mind blowing and so perfect. It actually gave me chills, especially at the end. You'll fall in love with the ml trust me, from the very first episode his smile just did it for me. He is also very handsome. The acting is great and these two just have such great chemistry together, that's maybe one of the relationships everyone dreams about. The trust, love in their eyes, going through pain together and all the sacrifices. I just loved it. My heart feels heavy and light at the same time, I don't even know anymore. If you are hesitating in watching this, just jump on it, you won't be disappointed.

The music is also a great aspect of this drama. It's not too loud, so it doesn't overlap the actors' voices and it also fits the scenes perfectly. I'm sure you'll find the ost really pleasurable and soothing.

There is one thing I didn't like though.
The MAKE-UP: some of you think some of the actors are naturally tan, especially the male actors. But that's not it at all. The make up wasn't really my cup of tea. If you want to make a person tan then please cover up the ears and hands too, at least when there's a scene in which they do appear. It looked as if the face and the ear of the ml belonged to two different persons.

That's all for my review, I hope it helped. Don't hesitate in watching this, you won't be disappointed.
