A snoozefest that is sure to put you to sleep. Don't bother looking for a plot, there isn't one.

The FL was considerably less annoying than I am used to in these Chinese costume dramas. I would even say I would like to have the opportunity to see her again in a well-written drama sometime in the future. I couldn't help but like her, even though, well, it's not nice to say, but her appearance isn't one I will easily remember. Not her fault, but I did have to mention that even though I genuinely thought she did a good job, and she is good-looking. I'm not sure I'd recognize her if I saw her again in anything else.

Xu Kai's character was written as an emotionless icicle, so I can't really blame him for portraying exactly that.

It's a melodrama, so sometimes the characters get hurt, and then they recover, only to yet again get hurt by the antagonists. That's a recipe for complete boredom.
