Yes I feel that the storyline is quite impressive so far with new elements I have not seen before in dramas. However the last 2 episodes are a bit boring to me as its about DFQC getting rejected by Xi Yun repeatedly π I still wish that she regains her memories again and remembers him.
I am still watching the drama and I can agree the romance is much more slow paced. However, the best things about the series are the actions and thriller. I can also suggest you Miss Crow with Mr lizard. Both the couples are very sweet.
