I remember people after the first episode saying so much neg about Ci Sha.. Come on.. give him a chance. This…
CiSha's first kissing scenes?! (yes plural) Maybe that's why I felt that it is a bit rehearsed and a little bit awkward. My thinking is that he's so good at everthing portraying the role, he can give us more on intimate scenes
i just finished it 2 midnights ago and it definitely destroyed my weekends as I am just watching IG reels and stalking Ci Sha lol. Now I'm in work listening their OST
I really enjoyed this drama. Storyline, very cohesive. Kudos to them as I really understand all the family trees that they introduced and I'm not confused at all! Mind you, there was like more than 5 families (i think, Gu, Ji, Chen, Ye, Fu, and a lot more).
They really made CiSha (ML) looked like he's in his 40s and he really nailed his role. those eyes that will make you melt, very commanding. I say we neeeeeed him to be a general on his next drama, those martial arts that he showed on this drama is so skillfully done. My tiny comment is I hope he showed us more passionate kissing scenes, as some kisses and love scenes looked like stiff and rehearsed (for me only).
I was truly obsessed with this drama which I finished in 4 days, watching during work (lol), and staying up until 3am and have destroyed my weekends as I am replaying a lot of the lead's scenes.
K-Drama 
the novel is great, tho i paused reading it 2/3
