Pros: I loved all the couples in this drama. It was really nice to see a historical costume drama where most of the married couples we see are actually in love. That's honestly rare to see. Additionally, the chemistry the female lead had with the male and the second male lead was nice. I also really enjoyed watching everyone's acting. Lastly, issues that arose in the relationship between GJZ (fl) and CYY (ml) were solved very quickly and not dragged out.

Cons: The plot. Lmao, it's all over the place. They were trying to do so many things with so few episodes. Honestly, in order for a drama to be well executed and have both romance and politics, it needs to have at least 50 episodes. It felt like they rushed through the ploticial stuff at the end. Additionally, some of the deaths that occurred in the last episodes were very unnecessary, and we still have unanswered questions. Did the villain actually die? What's going to happen now in court? Although the emperor has proven to be very smart at such a young age, I don't think he can rule/command the court on his own, and all of Cyy's trusted people are gone. So what are they going to do now? These are the questions I would have loved to see answered in the end, but remained unanswered.

All in all, I loved having a community of people to discuss the episodes with day after day. I'll miss watching this show. Hope to see future collaborations between RM, Cisha, and WW in the future again. The three of them did great, as did the rest of the cast.
