To start with,I would say this is a typical Qin Junjie drama with lots of martial arts and at the same time politics going on.
Men Sandao,room the previous dynasty,is brought back from the prison to stop people who are persuading the treasure.Qin Junjie was brilliant in his role.His body language,action scenes,expressing emotions, dedication towards his duty and everything about him were perfect.
Zhuo Bufan just wants to provide good food and a name for his sect.Even keeping aside his self respect,he accepts a task opposed to his ideals and principles.Liu Yuning shines in his role.But I didn't like the way his character ended nor his sect members were killed.That were some tear eyed moments in this drama.
The most annoying character for me definitely remains Wang Jialuo.He is as stubborn as hell,never tries to understand things,failed to apply the laws in a righteous manner and sadly did not show any signs of his improvement till the end.Though his character starts off being an upright and just constable,slowly it starts irritating you because of his naiveness and stupidity which otherwise caused many people 's deaths.
The plot is intriguing though it has its flaws,sometimes makes you unable to keep.up with the pace.All the characters have their own missions to carry out and their actions and reactions keep driving the story forward.
Overall,I suggest you to give it a try despite its flaws.It may not be everyone's cup of tea but you will not be disappointed.
