Personal complaint: What is the story with Ren Jia Lun's hair and makeup? Everyone else's is lush and beautiful, but Jia Lun's hair piece is fakey-fake and his makeup causes him to look sickly and washedout all the way through. He is such a handsome man, this movie did not do him justice.
OK, now that I've got that off my chest.... the production is a little clunky all the way through but worst at the beginning and does improve.
The acting is reasonably good with a wide array of interesting characters.
The plot is a little tortured.
Spoiler alert: I personally hate when everyone dies at the end. 😕

Best most joyful, tender, passionate kiss
This drama was a liitle too long and drawn out, but still enjoyable.Episode 36 is not my favorite. Way too much gore.
Episode37 however is the best kiss I've seen so far. Tender, passionate, not domineering on either side, just joyful . True affection is hard to fake. Worth the wait.

Thoughtful development of themes
Delving into the results of the use and abuse of power yields many plot twists and interesting characters. Particularly in relation to the ways power can be wielded by women as well as against them, this drama follows a wide variety of characters driven to different life choices and paths as well as where these choices may ultimately lead.Interesting with good acting, beautiful visuals.
Only one very small item, Gulnezer Bextiyar is a beautiful woman, but her face remains nearly motionless throughout. Is a flawlessly smooth forehead really worth having paralyzed eyebrows? I would prefer to see a full range of expression, but then that is just my opinion.

Guo Qi Lin totally won me over!
Lots of complexity in the plot, male characters are well written. I'm not as impressed with the female characters. They are good actors but their personalities as written are for the most part shallow and 2 dimensional. Writers please do better for season 2.Overall I really enjoyed this.
I wasn't sure how things would go when they replaced a classic leading man type with Guo Qi Lin, but little by little I was completely won over.
Smart and confident but also sincere with integrity. Proves you dont need a six pack to be sexy and appealing. Loved this character!! Looking forward to season 2 !!!!!!
