Even if you don't like imperial family and court drama, you must watch
I came here mainly to just swoon over this drama. I'll start from Chen Zheyuan, he's so charming, so pretty that it is very distracting when you watch anything he's in, he absolutely has the Aura™ of the character he's portraying. His acting is so incredible, he can be as cold as a stone and then emotional, heartbroken, you can see love and hatred in his eyes he's oh so amazing. I've seen Li Qin only in one drama so far, she's the perfect cast for Fu Yixiao, looks gentle but can absolutely kick ass. This drama is written so exceptionally well, the first episode is so dynamic, it reeled me in so hard and this place is kept throughout the entire drama. No weak spots, no dragging of the the story, just pure dynamic and drama. I personally don't really like imperial family and court drama but if it's written like this, boy, I'm so in. I am always a sucker for the lead character's side kicks and trusted men (Lu Ke, Hound, Yun brothers, Ning Fei have my heart and of course doctor Ling). Even the evil characters in this drama are written so well, you hate them so much you love them. Princess Xiyang is not entirely evil, I hated her naive spolied kid character so much but her character developed and I ended up loving her. I loved the emperor of Jinxiu, prime minister Zhong, Murong Yao (I love Zuo Ye in everything I've seen with him), the emperor of Susha. Seriously, top tier character and storyline writing. I especially love that we basically had two stories (about Feng Suige and then about Feng Xiyang) and both had equal screen time, both were finished, both were finished, both had character development. I can definitely see myself rewatching this for the story and characters and especially actors. If you're still hesitating to watch, don't and go watch, it's so worth it.
