The drama serves as an interesting, casual watch that easily holds my attention, even if it never quite hooks me enough to make me binge-watch it. The absolute peak of the series is the heartbreaking and intense sequence where Ye Li remembers the tragedy at Mount Li. It is a beautifully poignant moment that genuinely moved me to tears, and the OST playing during that scene was excellent.

While the main characters have a convincing bond, the lack of romantic scenes left me wishing for more. Because both Ye Li and Prince Ding are victims who share a common enemy, they could have made a truly spectacular team; instead, they go about their revenge in their own separate ways. The pace definitely dragged during the final three episodes, but it wasn't a total loss—just an okay finish.
