The story line was really interesting and I got really into it once I started watching it. At first I found the fl to be super annoying and her smile made me cringe a bit. I found her to be a bit too innocent and a bit dumb, but as I kept watching I started to enjoy her character development a bit more. However, there were many scenes that just didn't feel right. I couldn't feel the chemistry between either the female lead and the two male leads. It just happened too fast and a bit forced in my opinion. At first with Wen You it looked like a really good friendship rather than love. And later with Lin Fang I couldn't feel her change of heart that well. It always felt like it was the male characters who were truly in love with her. The lack of communication also pissed me off and the relationship between Wen You and the Princess was also not satisfying. I wished they showed their relationship development a bit more. Many of the characters pissed me off in so many ways and it got a bit annoying at some point. The fl is supposed to be simple and pure-hearted with a great sense of justice, but they just portrayed her as a bit too dumb sometimes. I got super annoyed when towards the end they were forced into a corner, she was hurt and in pain (which I personally liked because it seemed like a change of character), but when she woke up she was happy as a clam and it just didn't feel right. There were many things that felt rushed and not well explained. However, despite all of that, I really enjoyed the show. It was really entertaining and I would recommend if there's nothing better to watch and you jus't want a nice costume drama. I enjoyed the middle part of the story the most, and I also really enjoyed the character of Huo Yang.
