The amount of beating ML gets in the drama is enormous . I wonder how his body and head were holding up. There are so many fights. The villain is really vile. Overall very entertaining to watch with some romance in the background.

I do not know, I am 4 episodes in and I can't convince myself to like ML. He has personality traits so characteristic in kdrama and cdrama land: rude, unpleasant, arrogant and so on. On the other hand I do like lively character of FL. But at this point I can't root for ML. I guess I will stop watching for now, maybe I will continue later on.

Yes. There is a misunderstanding between ML and FL regarding FL's father, when he was accused of a treason. I don't want to spoil to you too much. It is in the middle section of the drama, lasts several episodes. Misunderstanding is happily resolved for all involved parties within the few episodes. It is the most tense period with ML/FL relationship.

Decent drama. I really enjoyed it. One of those rare historical Chinese dramas where all of good guys/girls characters got their happy endings. No unnecessary and heartbreaking deaths in last episodes. No favorite support characters being killed off in last moments. So it is a happy ending drama for all favorite characters in it. Yeah!!!

I did like the drama a lot. I don't understand the low score and criticism of FL. She played her character well as someone who was emotionally so stable that it was difficult for her to show emotions on both sides of the spectrum. That is how her character was written and the actress did a solid job. I definitely agree that there were multiple scenes that were begging for a kiss and there was none. If she does have a "no kiss" clause in her contract then starring in romance dramas is an odd choice. Regardless of that, I enjoyed the drama a lot. I am actually looking forward to watching more of her dramas.

It is weird . I am continental USA.

I don't have it on Youku in the USA. Maybe it is not available in all countries.

So far after 7 episodes, ML is a typical archetype of Chinese historical dramas: narcissistic, childish and arrogant in terms of interactions with FL. He treats her more like a pet instead of human. I hate this type of character profile. Obviously at some point FL somehow will develop feelings for him but this type of relationship dynamics I really don't like. I will keep watching to see if he redeems himself...Watched one more episode and I am going to drop it, at least for now. ML is too narcissistic for me. His treatment of FL is annoying. He does treat her as a pet: you are allowed to do this, you can't do that, like the owner of a cat. I guess it is not for me. He is annoyingly condescending especially in contrast with 2ML, who treats our FL with respect, dignity, support. He gives her personal space and respects her agency. 😔
