Absolutely Terrible
I think the fact that I actually finished this show was more of a punishment then anything else. It was slow, the script was messy, the acting was a bit awkward, and the inconsistencies with the palace and the overall plot made it miserable to sit through. That being said, the only saving grace was the one scene where the ML and FL fight and the FL cries that he tried to sell her.Overall, I found the characters annoying and inconsistent throughout the series. All in all, watch the one scene on YouTube and skip the rest.

Great Watch but the Script got lost
The show started off action packed with mystery and intrigue. Then it kinda just stopped. I think once they return to the ML home town it kinda pauses the whole story and turns into a detour about his annoying "sister." Also his actual stepsister is AWESOME. I enjoyed the detour from one woman needing to fill every role from soft-mannered women to warrior. This was more realistic and enjoyable.I also enjoyed the dynamics and power struggle but again felt like the queen was just an aristocratic version of the ML "sister." I enjoyed it and the scene where the ML thinks he lost the baby is extremely powerful. The acting there was amazing. Not sure if I can say much on the FL acting as she is phenomenal and delivers moving scenes in every show she is in.

How is this not being renewed
Everything from the acting to unpredictable storyline to incredible fight scenes was mind blowing. I've never seen Esther Yu in a completely serious role and it was AMAZING. The casting was done so well I'm not sure if they could have picked anyone better. Also, the fight scenes were just mind blowing. I know the ML and FL had amazing chemistry and were the focal point but I think my favorite storyline was Cheng Lei and Lu Yuxiao. My only regret is that I can't watch this show for the first time again. That and the absolutely insanity that this is not getting more seasons.Was this review helpful to you?

Amazing
This was such an original concept that was carried out well by a combination of great actors/actresses, costume/makeup, and storyline/editing.The FL and her ***sister trade off characters so unbelievably well. You can tell which character it is not by what they look like but their mannerisms ans facial expressions. honestly, a phenomenal acting feat.
I can honestly say that I have lost track of how many times I have watched it. It is also a great first chinese drama to start off with. kudos all around!

Great acting, storyline, and production team
Huge props to the child actor for nailing his role. I enjoyed that the ML left behind his toxic family and chose himself and his family. The ending was a bit rushed but that is normal for short series. I would have liked to have known what happened to the brother/ex and his fiancé. Were they charged with smuggling? Overall very much enjoyed.Was this review helpful to you?
