I'm up to episode 14, and honestly, I think it would be a more compelling story of Yunsi trying to recover his lost love than the romance between MC and surrounding intrigue. Although it's the old amnesia trope, at least, there's a reason for the amnesia, and it was instigated by hypnosis (i.e. deliberately by a villain) instead of a conk on the head or PTSD. I'll be honest, I find Yunsi hotter than ML. He's got this wild intensity from his attire/grooming to his desperation to get FL to remember him that thrills me. Now, I don't know the entire story yet as far as his background with FL and how she actually forgot him, but I would love to see this kind of plot line made into a drama (ML desperately trying to get his lost love to remember him and once she remembers, she's torn between new and old loves). And right now, I wouldn't call this a light and fluffy romantic comedy. There's too much intrigue and too many serious things going on. I don't find much comedy, and I suspect as I get further into the drama, it'll get even more serious as Chinese historicals tend to do. That's not saying that you shouldn't watch it; I'm just saying it's not what I'd call a romantic comedy.

Update to episode 19: I'm having a hard time continuing to like FL after she so easily chose ML over her first love, Yunsi. From Yunsi recollections and flashbacks, it seemed like their love was pretty strong/intense so once she regained her memories, I expected more of a struggle, but nope, she easily cast Yunsi aside for ML. That just didn't sit well with me. What kind of shallow love does this girl have for the men in her life? Because of her behavior with her first love, I have a hard time believing that she truly loves ML. Honestly, Yunsi had every right to go bat crap crazy after that. I don't blame him a bit. I'm also not a fan of childish FLs who pout, make the 'hmpf' sound and dissolve into 'baby talk' as though it's cute or something. I don't know about men, but I don't find it cute at all. I find it annoying and what to tell these FLs to grow up.
