K-Drama 
Coulda. Woulda. Shoulda!
The story is good. Wasn't expecting the reveal. The usual revenge/avenge and clear my famiy name. A little slow burn romance between the leads which developed fast and delivered fairly well and then, boom, no more romance. The usual first wife and concubines draman and scheming, etc.
Actors were good. Always enjoy Xu Kai and ZY's performances (though I must say ZY's best performances, in my opinion, were in Legend of Female General and Return from the Brink). XZX was stellar as ChunZhi! I almost want to say he was my fave!
The problem with this series, in my unprofessional opinion, was the editing and directing. This coulda been an awesome production, but it fell short. It's just all over the place like a wild roller coaster ride! I did enjoy it for the most part (ignoring the bumps along the ride).
Nonetheless, I recommend it, if you can watch with very open mind and ignore the glitches and cut and paste feel of the editing! 😁 I gave it a 5 rewatch value cause I think it can be rewatched in binge mode, like 10 episodes at a time, and the ride might feel less bumpy 🤣
