A Huge Miss: Dropped Around Episode 12
I'm sorry, folks, but I didn’t enjoy this one and ended up dropping it around episode 12. I had just finished another drama that didn’t quite work for me, and I didn’t want to go through the same experience again—especially with something this long. That said, I thought the costumes and cinematography were beautifully done, and some of the twists and reveals were genuinely smart and unexpected. Unfortunately, the main storyline and subplots just didn’t hold my interest. I found them tacky and overdone, particularly for a genre I’m very familiar with. It’s disappointing to say that, especially because I love Guan Yue productions and make a point to watch all his costume dramas where he plays the lead. But out of everything in his filmography, this one just wasn’t my cup of tea.
