I couldn't help but think back to The Princess Royal when watching this. Set in a similar time/dynasty (fictional), and similarly involving the conflict between noble families and common families, this short-medium length drama does not achieve the artistic heights of the previously mentioned long drama, but it is a decently entertaining watch on its own. What's even more interesting is that Liu Xu Wei is in both in a key supporting role.

Hope to see more of Kong Xue'er - she's been stuck in supporting roles in larger productions of late. And Li Hongyi, it's been a while. This medium-length format is an interesting blend of long and short drama. It probably will need more time to develop this type of drama to see what kind of story would fit well with the time allowed.
