If anything you should take away from this is that is it a top tier historical C drama

This drama truely lived up to the hype, I've watch each episode atleast once, since writing this review

1. This might be the best Cdrama ZHL has ever been apart of & probably TXW
I've become quite familiar with ZHL work over the past couple of years with TBT, TPR, SOFK & much more and he has improved alot and is able to capture so much in a shot. I wouldn't hesitate to say that this may be his best work yet, and I'm excited to see what comes next, especially if he continue to improve. TXW im less familar with her work as I have complete a piece from start to finish before, but this really made me fall for her HARD! Her facial expressions top notch, her body movement and line is beautifal in every shot and she brings FCY to life.

2. Thank you to the staff, director and producers
They truely brought this to life. It's hard to a production to continuesly carry a show to the end at such quality and I wouldn't say a second was waste, for the world building, charater development and the pschological elements they were able to bring out so beautifully. This made wish we could extend the number of episodes again or have some more canon episodes, but I am satified with what I got. I'm going to miss these charaters, but they definately made this a series you can rewatch endlessly.

3. Supporting leads really carried their storylines throughly
Can i just say how goregous everyone was and how I felt how deep each of the charaters archs went and how every shot with the supporting roles were so well done. It felt easy to understand each charater and if it wasn't atleast it made you feel some type of way which I find hard in Cdramas at this caliber.

Overall Rating a solid 9.7
(I may revise this later on)

They cut alot of scenes which I had scene in behind the scenes shots by fans and the story in which I went through with, but I get there were reason for that. But I can't help but miss those moments and it would help fill some small gaps left in the story. But it doesn't impact the overall story so it made sense for time or other reasons *cough cough*. And finally I think towards the end of most C dramas they tend to be weaker due to various reason while it stay good, it could have had some minor improvements which would make the last main arch more complete. This could also be due to time limitations but I just can't help it.

If anything you should take away from this is that is it a top tier historical C drama, no matter what
