I have watched the series to its end from day one. I love the story, cast, music. It is NOT suitable for the children as it is very brutal/cruel BUT it makes me feel patriotic towards my own country and race. The pace is fast and slow depending on the plot but very relatable. If i put myself in xie huaian position, i might be more brutal in fact. We protect our family, our friends, our country too. We wont compromise on that. All actors acted so well in their respective roles that made me cry ever so often. It offers no romance BUT it offers lots of human connections and compassion and forgiveness. I love Zhang Mo/deposed emperor's role the most as he changed from a coward to a very responsible human being. Also love Gu Yu's role. Very loyal, protective and willing to do anything for his country/king.
