How can this only have 7.6?????

Now, this is a perfect example of a drama suffering from prejudices...

The ML acting is a shakky at times but the FL... hell, the FL is a brilliant actress, capable of pulling stoic, emotion and wreck whenever the story needs and carries the emotional scenes like very few....
The settings are breathtaking and a good representation of the different climates and peoples in ancient china... where are those that say that chinese dramas are racist????????
And then we have to talk about the story...7.6????? REALLY?????
You want political intrigue??? You have it.
You want a villian that will make you hate his guts??? You have him!!!
You want a romance with REALISTIC pace and not hammered down???? You have it!!!!!
You want brilliant cinematography? You want a gripping story? You want INTERESTING Main and Secundary Characters??
YOU HAVE IT!!!!!


I know that this is not the place to compare, but how can this have 7.6 when My Heroic Husband has 8.2??????
Like My Heroic Husband, the ML starts as a useless coward BUT where in My Heroic Husband he evolves artificially through his modern way of thinking, in this the ML evolves through his experiences AND as a way to impress the FL (how real is that, who hasn't done something to impress a girl)
In here the FL starts Way stronger than the ML, but unlike in My Heroic Husband she DOES NOT humiliate him and she is not DUMB as she understands he is trying to impress him....


An example of an absolutely underrated drama!!!!!
The better My Heroic Husband!!!!!!!!!!!
