This drama definitely didn't disappoint. There was something very moving about it that I initially didn't anticipate. He Si Mu is the standout character for me in this drama. Dilraba portrayed the strong and proud sovereign and the lonely and weary woman perfectly. The contrast between He Si Mu and Duan Xu was one of the most interesting aspects in this drama. He Si Mu lives her life as if time has stopped and basically has no meaning for her. She exists, but is not really living. Duan Xu on the other hand is blazing through life as if he's in a hurry to finish it, but at the same time he's trying his hardest to live it. Together, they both make the world a much more wonderful place to live in for the other after all the misfortunes they both have endured in the past.

I really enjoyed this drama.
