Before I go into the review of this series. I have to absolutely express my frustration and irritation towards the directors or those people who pick the casts. Whoever thought it was a bright idea to change the initial female lead did not do the show any favor. Rosy Zhao is a great actress but seriously. For the cast change simply to have a familiar face (maybe for publicity) I can’t give it a perfect rating especially since I feel the first actress would have been a better fit. So far Rosy Zhao has been in mostly romantic comedies. Her acting is sweet and unique but I don’t feel she was not suited for this.
They change the initial female lead due to script saying she change her appearance. First of all, there are so many shows that have characters change their appearance but actually keep their same face.
Our initial female lead is clearly a new young actress but appears to be a superb actress who did an amazing job portraying herself as a princess in every aspect. Her demeanor, appearance, character, communication and expression were flawless. I know whatever she stars in she’ll be great. .

Now to the review:
The show starts out at a really decent pace. Episode one was full of mystery and action but by episode two things somewhat slow down quite a bit and it becomes somewhat slow. What I like most so far about this series is that it appears to be about loyalty, and friendship and love. The character development was good.
WhatI did not like about the series is that at times it can be a bit slow and sometimes the male lead was just too suggestive. Fights scenes were unimpressive. The ending was cliff hanger and didn’t make sense.

If you’re looking for romantic comedy this is not it.
if you were looking for a historical drama you may like this one.
If you’re looking for a happily ever after you may not want to watch it although it is not awful.
If you’re looking for something overly romantic I don’t know what to tell you.

Overall decent show. Not a rewatch for me though.
