In general, the drama was good. I enjoyed it thoroughly and watched religiously on a daily basis without forwarding at all - I find myself doing that a lot these days. There was great acting by the leads and main support actors. I consider myself now a full TXW fan - I must say I rarely become fan of actresses, and of course Yan An, who's not only super hot, but has proved he has what is needed for a lead. Now the not so great... many caricature-like characters (or acting) this includes Jundai, specially at the beginning - she felt like coming from a telenovela. The dumb aunt, the evil aunt at the end, the empress, general Han...etc. Also, there were some major gaps, like, how General Han comes back to the picture when his family was made commoners and he lost his rank? also, they mention that the crown princess was abandoned by her husband and then Wei Rao threatens to kill her at the end of their bet, but then she shows up back at the palace for the revolt? The end...well, I actually didn't mind it being open-ended, though I would've liked the next plot to be developed afterwards. lastly I wished they had found general Qi a good girl - I really liked his character ad felt bad for him.
