Superb storyline & performance

I am going to be honest, I was drawn to this drama because of Yang Cho Yue and after she died, I felt like quiting. However, the main leads are supportive to each other in their own way which is nice to see for once and I finish the drama for them.


Story is about villains who have a huge ego problem; princess want revenge after being sold in a marriage arrangement; sons and father want to make money by selling salt through illegal methods (framing fabric sword)


The drama killed off the two subordinates or guards of Duke Su which felt unnecessary but since the screenwriter could have rewritten it since many dramas do not follow the novel (It wouldn't impact the plot). Also, the death of Jiang Li friend (maid) was sad and then the story proceeds to bring in a new maid (Xue XangFei end). Like I get it is a plot device but come on the maid just died and got replaced quickly. The grief for the maid death ended the next episode.?


Also, the damn face close ups. It is awkward to see their face so close up. Without the weird camera work, the drama would have been better.
