Lots of style, not enough substance
There's plenty of excitement and style in the opening episodes, as Chu Zhao gets a second chance at life and desperately tries to change her fate. However, there's not enough time spent on developing the political intrigue and some of the characters, making the final act of this drama lacking in impact. The performances are pretty average - although I'd have to say Tian Xiaotian seems to be enjoying himself, preening with his fan and scheming left and right.
It's passable for the time, but there are better dramas of the same genre out there.
