Scheming all the way
Finished and not sure how I felt about this program. Let’s start with what I thought was amazing.The FM and ML were amazing and I thought all the actors were brilliant too. With a special shout out to the princess, she played her part fantastically. So evil but so good, and we learned about her past and start to understand why she was the way that she was.
The cinematic where breathtaking and through out it as all very convincing. And really enjoyed the OST.
But, I struggle with the storyline and the constant scheming. I loved the rise of the phoenixes and the scheming that went on there but with this one I struggled to keep watching towards the end as I started to loose a bit interest.
Also the ending was left quite open to interpretation, did ML made it back or was it FL dream/ wishful thinking?
Would I watch it again, properly not.
Despite that I feel the high score is still justified as if there was a little bit less scheming around the 3/4 through the series it would have been 10*

All actors are playing their parts very well. The crown prince did a stella performance of being a convincing baddy.
ML and FM are very convincing in their parts.
On Viki this series has 7’episodes and that is enough. It would have been good to find out why ML was so favours by the old emperor, that he was playing Go at the age of 10 years old against the emperor.
The end was very sad, but I found it well explained of what happens to the ML

What is there not to like…
It’s one of those Chinese short and sweet dramas, storyline is good, ML, 2ML and FL can convincingly act. The story flows well and there is a bit of a back story at episode 10 (Viki version).ML is on screen a good kisser and plays with his role with a passion that is gwell portrayed. OST is good and visually is the mini series well pleasing. I hope to see the ML in bigger production as he can act and is easy on the eyes.

Reincarination done well
Watched this because of the ML as watched him in A tale about love and loyalty. He was again very convincing in this role as was the ML. FL I saw in the double, glad she is moved to the longer production, as she is a very good actress, very talented and very pretty. ML seems to have good chemistry with his FL by the looks of it. Again there were quite a few kissing scene that looked like the ML did very much enjoyed.Program was short and was entertaining and would consider watching again

I got a bit bored towards episode 23/24, but after a little break, I finished the series and did quite enjoyed it, enough to give 10 stars.
Last episode wrapped it the series in good Asian fashion, with some happy and some sad endings. Would watch again.
