The visual effects and the costumes were great. I'm glad that the women's hair was not out there, I mean OUT THERE! Thank you for that! A lot of sons for sure and most fell in love with (Cecilia Liu) Ma'ertai Ruo Xi . She only loved one but I think she teased a few! I feel that all the cast did great telling this story. I'm just glad there was not any catfighting concubines in this story. If me being born back in that time, I would be more scared of the concubines, consorts, Empress and so forth then the men! Those women were d a n g e r o u s! Overall, it was okay!
