Surprisingly entertaining

The setting might be in ancient China but the premise can be applied to modern times. This drama shows that greed and the abuse of power transcend time. No matter what era we live in, there are greedy people in government who abuse their power to trample on the weak and helpless in order to enrich themselves. Kudos to the writers who found a light and entertaining way to depict this reality without being boring. A lot of other romantic comedies turn out to be childish and slapstick. This one is fun and light without being corny or ridiculous. It's a bit lacking in the romance department though. I didn't really feel that Xioa Ning was attracted to the princess at all. It was more of the princess who pursed him rather than the other way around. Aside from that, this is an enjoyable drama to watch. Perfect for unwinding after a stressful day. Plus, there are learnings on how to run a successful business too.
