Late Qing masterpiece
enjoyable drama Set at the beginning of the end for the Qing dynasty, it was an interesting period of history that allowed the state propaganda to be a perfect, natural fit and thus not intrude on the storytelling.
For me, the undoubted highlight was the presence of strong, independent women who chose their own destiny and took action to accomplish it. Both the female lead and the second female lead were completely independent individuals. They had the ability and determination to act toward getting what they wanted, and it was nice to see even a secondary character in the person of the male lead's childhood betrothed grew into exactly that kind of female character as well.
