As AvenueX said in her Review, The capital politics is ridiculous. As if written by 10 year old child. If prime minister says then it is true, no one bothers or contredit his word. As if he is the King.
@ep2 - inconsistency at its best. Who is Lee Eun Yoo taking to on cellphone when their is no signal? Seo Yi Kyung was bitten by the monster and had more than an inch glass embedded in her leg, but both wounds disappeared within minutes.
Well written on mystery, but their are still some disjoint from one lead to another lead as in why it shown as all the villains are trying to kill Syet Beal, any child would do as per script. Missed writing/directing on parenting. Child was left alone for unnecessary reason at random times. Hacking Computer/Phone and CCTV is not done properly (CCTV can not be hacked remotely, being Closed circuit and all). Timeline does not match at many scenes. People seems to travel distance in few seconds. Their are quite few stupidities in the script as well, like rather then driving away from thugs to try fighting 15 of them single handily when you have important witness to save. Not using cellphone when they should and using it when they should not. It seems Father cares about his carrier than his wife and child. It may seem like his decision or base on their protection but it is not. Criminal threatening father without any evidence!!!(episode by episode it would work, but on binge watch thread and timeline does not match) Why are they handing out all the evidence volunteer to the criminals even the once they don't know abut?
Would like to give 8* for overall story that writers build in this Drama. They build a world with 4 kingdoms which has proper origin and characters with right personality. Story is written will in which each characters playing off each other is done extremely well. The cast and their acting is excellent. Maybe some can be better overall performance of the cast is above average. Music score gives right amount of emotional impact on scenes. But will give 3*. Not sure how one person can conquer 4 kingdoms without even known by other kingdom leaders. Sure there are some probability if one or two leaders are dump, but given knowledge and intelligence of the leaders it shouldn't be possible. Northern Emperor's intelligence comes and goes episode by episode. Chen Empire is not legible in story. Martial skill of FL is coming and goes not sure why. One human body can handle how many poison? FL been poisoned 6 times in two years’ span, all of them are fatal ones. Never understood why Empress had to kill Lady Yun. Why did she kill FL's family? How did she become empress? How did she survive the fire and poisoning? Why and how did she plan everything 20 years ahead? was she prophet to know every person to be born and their capabilities who may become significant officers in all 4 kingdoms to include in her plan? Some might argue she had multiple contingencies but all her plans are rigid without margin of error even her failed plots. Why did not memory poison work on her (she regained her memory almost immediately)? Rong Qi has as much intelligence as fish, not sure why even bother trying to save man Er' and follow his mother’s order knowing bother are not mutual. Other than this there are lot of small inconsistence all over the story, people disappear and reappear at random plots. Characters skill changes from episode to episode. So my score is 3/10 for this Drama
@24 Why ML mentality goes front and back. One episode he Hates his father with passion and rebels at every useless point. and next episode he is following his father's will to the 'T'????????\
Writer must be too drunk to write good script. Characters Depth changes between scene to scene, sometime they have brain then sometime they don't. Also they have to follow the script, if it is logical or not.
Dropping @EP18 One of the thing that i hate very much in Chinese Periodic Drama is how easy it is to kill a person inside Royal Dungeon. No one ask question, not even the Emperor/King or the Villon team. Just kill that bastard who might jeopardize our case. Also why always only Leads has brain power and none of the court officials? If they say someone is criminal then they are criminal as if security guard become king overnight he is giving order for execution

@ep23. How stupid one person can be?? Does Su su have a brain or what? why does she follow su ji even after being mistreated by her repeatedly and warned not to interact with her again and aging. I am dropping this with 3 star.
Dropping @ep26. Story takes time to develop because it has lot of side stories to tell for current affairs. But it seems lacking in direction on some scenes, like where the scenes next to death of family friend. Characters behavior and body language feels lacking to me. Also i find FL acting in some scenes are weird, though that was her character but once i saw it couldn't unseen in other episodes. Also end fight of siege at fortress of forty-eight is unrealistic on strategy point and result of the battle.
What to give 9 star but going with 3. The last episode did make rest of the series as a joke. For example certain group of people known from the beginning who the eraser yet they just let is drag till finale. Their are multiple inconsistency in the main plot if you see in linear format.
Fast paced action thriller horror show. Because of the pacing, overall story is getting muddled. Their are lot of plot holes creates its own plot holes. Too many sub-characters and sub-sub-characters to keep the story in line even when binge watching. Also timeline and character age does not add up for most sub-sub-characters which provides twist to main story.

Considering most of the broken are legendary.
Both parties are having tea party in the middle of the battle!!!
FL is not taking kill-shot to the chef of Mingfeng why!!!!
