I'd be honest here. I decided to give this show a try because the story line was unique and it seemed really promising. Historical Romance that involves reincarnation? I'm in! The chosen leads looked great too. Victoria and Johnny Huang were really great in terms of portraying their roles, and even their expressions, really great actors! Plot-wise also it was not too cheesy and cringey unlike other chinese dramas out there, i'd give it that.

I was really drawn to this drama in the first few episodes, but in the middle of the series, the direction of the drama and the plot line started to lose itself. The plot line was getting all over the place with other unnecessary characters coming in, and inserting scenes that are not even needed at this point. I just continued and watched the drama for the sake of finishing it. I did not get to feel all the feels I expected to get while trying to finish this. oh, and the ending felt rushed as well. They might as well give them a happy reunion or something for the viewers to be happy about but instead it made me ask 'HOW IS THAT AN ENDING?'

The drama had no single memorable OST/Music used, and was really bland in that aspect, which made the drama even more bland than it already is.

and now as I write this review, it made me further realize that nothing was answered in the end. A longer airtime and better scriptwriters would've solve the problem for this drama. But its over. I feel bad that such a beautiful plot idea has been wasted.

Overall, I give this drama a 6/10 as the first half of the series was good enough to deserve a 6, however towards the end, it was really a disappointment.
