Probably the best drama of all time
After binge watching Yanxi Palace in three days three nights it has done quite some damage to my emotions towards dramas I watched after that. My feelings getting attached to dramas takes time but this.. This drama had me hooked instantly like never before? The romance really saves the drama honestlySTORY: 9.8 It's not face paced nor slow paced but perfectly right in the middle. I feel like if more characters died I would've been more emotional but it's a good thing that the drama didn't lose too much of the characters like xueman and yizhou. Ngl I do enjoy dramas that contains misunderstandings and jealousy. Just brings spice into it, this drama didn't had much but it's still really good. Nothing bad about the story, I'm honestly happy about the ending, still sad that the main couple lost their first unborn child so was wishing to see them have kids or have some scene in the future! (Really really hope they have a S2) in general and overall, no complaints
ACTING: 10 The acting is just *chef kisses* allen's acting did NOT disappoint. I love how he fits the young, free, and funny role to a more darker mature role. He rely suits it, and I'm looking forward to watch Under the Power after this! Zhang Hui Wen's acting is wiite good, may need some more skills and practicing but she has a lot of potential! All the other characters wether its support or the main role did an AMAZING job. not to mention the martial art scenes where they fight is so fucking clean and high quality. It's almost like it's very different from other dramas, its so cleannn. In geberal and overall: 10 would'e took 0.2 points off bc of zhang hui wen's acting but I'll just let it slide
MUSIC: 10 Loveeeee the osts!! Absolutely beautiful!! And the bgm really fits the situations. And the sounds are very high quality too. No complaints honestly
REWATCH VALUE: 100/10 There were SO many memorable scenes I can't even count how many times I've replayed it before even finishon the drama. (Never knew facial expressions would make me replay it 10x tehe) From my journey of starting to watch C dramas actively from 2017 until now, I'd never thought of finding a drama that I get so attached to until now. It's been a while since I've felt like this. Debating if this is #2 or #1 favorite dramas of all time..
Overall: 10/10 It was good, although didn't make me cry from previous dramas (probably because of after watching yanxi palace) Until the final episodes where rong hua got killed and nalan yue running towards her crying just made me so emotional to drop a tear. What really got me was rong su and yizhou. They deserve a happy ending.. (Can we talk about how pretty rong su is in that formal *lady like* costume?? The baby blue and flower pins and that hair downnn suits her so well *ched kiss* She looks so good :() I'm really satisfied with this drama but will take me a few days to get over with. I reay wished to see them with their future kids tbh was really wishing that, then I would've been completed.

WE need moreeeee
SUCH a good drama!! So many plot twists and a smart FL TY! Although 70 episodes is longer than any drama you would see but its totally worth it. My dumb self decided to binge watch this in 3 days 3 nights. Regretted it so much because then I didn't feel like there was a connection with me and the drama. And it sort of affected the other dramas I watch after yanxi. But that's my fault.Cried twice in this drama and some were almost forced tears lol. Usually I would cry more than that.The storyline is good. Plot twists as I mentioned, but fuca and ming yu :( I personally prefer ying luo with fuheng just because he was her first love and they were just so PERFECT. The emperor and ying luo is also a good couple though. A chaotic one too.
Acting is on point. 100/10. The FL did a wonderful job and xu kai as well with the 'cold' personality. The acting WILL take you on a emotional roller coaster ride
Music is alright, the osts are pretty good, no complaints towards it
rewatch value: 9.0 just bc the episodes are quite long for you to go through every single one of it. There were some parts that stood out that you might want to go back and see it again.
overall: 9.5!!
