Too long but decent wuxia drama

Not a fan of dillireba, especially in period dramas because I felt that something about her image don't suit period dramas that well and it's abit hard to focus on her expression and all. However, i do think this is one of the better ones she acted (also with the boost of a lot other strong supporting actor/actress). Had a lot of mixed feelings while watching this because i think it's neither good/bad.. i managed to finish it by skipping a lot of boring scenes.

PROS:
- Good change in Zhao Lu Si's usual fun and quirky roles. Her role as princess has impressed me a lot.
- ML is not a jerk and express his feelings well
- Despite ML's young age, he managed to pull off the role very well & also the romance with FL
- No evil love triangle plot

CONS:
- 2nd couple (ZLS and LYN) can have more scenes together and more on their relationship growth since the drama is so long
- FL's role as someone that is good at martial arts is not portrayed well in most scenes.. sometimes she can fight hundreds of people, sometimes she don't seem like she can fight
- Too long, a lot of scenes can be cut short/ you can still catch up after skipping a fair bit

FINAL VERDICT: watch if you like a strong FL and ML & not much romance involved
