The storytelling was very good as you are not given much of a backstory of the main characters and you find out through out the drama. There were a couple surprises that I didn't expect but overall it was interesting enough to keep me entertained. However the last few episodes you can tell it was very rushed and they cut out a lot of scenes making leaving you very confused at certain parts and scratching your head. I felt a lot of characters were underutilised especially the other members of the Mystic Nine as they aren't even in most of the drama. All the actors did a good job especially some of the small supporting characters. Our main leads William and Zanilia have some very good chemistry maybe because it isn't the first time these two are paired together. I could see Lay and William acting has improved a lot over the year. Zanilia plays her character well as always but i feel that she played a 'flower vase' in this drama because the plot line would have still carried on pretty much the same without her. The multiple antagonist did a good job but sometime i feel like that the things they do don't There was nothing to complain about the music. The opening theme was good and i liked how they changed the images used in the opening theme several times rather than having the same images for 48 episodes. The music through out the drama was used very well especially during the emotional scenes especially with Lay's character and her wife. There isn't much re-watch value in this show because one you know the storyline there isn't much you are looking forward to. The things worth re-watching are probably some of the outstanding action scenes and the interaction and chemistry between our characters. Overall I enjoyed this drama a lot. It exceeded my expectations and I would recommend people to watch it if you are into action and mystery genre. There isn't that much romance but enough to get you intrigued. When you finished this and are thirsty for more there is always The Lost Tomb you can watch.
