Funny and moving.
I randomly decided to watch this drama and do not regret it. All of the characters are entertaining to watch. The second sister has the most fleshed out story, but everyone was given a good amount of screen time. I liked that they each had their own goals. The mother and the master were great as well. I wish we had another season. I do wish A'si and Li were at the end though.Was this review helpful to you?

The pen is mightier than the sword.
This drama tells a story of the clever Liu Bo Wen whose attention to detail and understanding of human nature give him foresight into situation. If you like dramas with wise leads and does not revolve around a romantic plot then this is for you. The main characters have a very comedic Peabody and Sherman type relationship . It is a funny drama over all but has very serious moments. Recommended if you like "The Long River" or "Flourished Peony" or "Blossoms in Adversity."I would say the rating is PG-13. There is some language involved as well as at least three depictions of murder and blood spill that are shown but very briefly. There are also two attempts of assault on women (neither get very far) and mentions of suicide. Many are sentenced to death by beheading( even a good husband falsely accused) but the camera pans away.
However, the drama itself wraps up all the cases, but there still feels like there should be more. Those who knows the life of Liu Bowen, know what to expect, but the drama does not go that far.
