I'm not a big fan of historical dramas (particularly Chinese historical dramas), but one day I decided to try this one and I haven't regretted it.
- It's really well played, even for Western standards (and Ni Ni is absolutely amazing);
- The character development is good (not to quick, not too slow either);
- The plot twists are pretty good (with one exception).
And yeah, at one point it'll touch that certain something in your heart, so the romance is good as well. :)
There is one thing I didn't like, but I'm saying which one because it'd be a spoiler. :)
