I reall like this drama !! Genuine story.
This drama is different with other harem drama which at the end obviously women hunger of king's love & attention. Woman's characters in this drama are so strong. Especially Xiao Yan Yan /Xiao Chuo, I really like her character. She is really a logic thinker, strict, outspoken, but she also can be a flirty and spoiled in good way, only to the person that she loves, reflects she is a loyal, not cheap & not easy person. She knows when too act and when to silent. I never get frustated about this woman during episodes.

Han Derang. I understand why some women crazy about him. He is an upright man with logic thinker, smart, calculative, tough character and cool in natural way. He is not cool with ruthless way, but cool with good manner, highly educated & thoughtful way.
So I really understand why Xiao Yan Yan needs to be agressive and always make first move toward this passive man !! LOL

The king Ming yi! He is rather manipulative & tricky but he is a likeable person. He is humorous & smart guy. I often smile and laughing at his scenes. The actor really fit with this character ! Good job!

Xiao Hu Nian.
I cannot hate her. She is so responsible and has kind heart. She is weak but well....she is just too kind. It's not easy to be her anyway.

I give two thumbs up for cinematography , costume designer, make up artist, it's extra ordinary beautiful & eye's candy.
