Honestly I don't know how I finished watching this. It was just ok for the majority of the show. Kind of felt barely interesting enough to keep watching. The production was pretty bad and seemed low budget. some of the acting was pretty good some was pretty bad. I felt myself pitying the "villain" more than enjoying the main couples love but they would pull out a scene that was just sweet enough to keep me watching at the right intervals. The last 4 episodes were a real turn off and I literally skipped sections while thinking wth the whole time just to get the gist of what was going on because I had already come to far to not at least see how it ends. Also If your not a fan of Wuxia and xianxia be aware that this somehow slowly turns from what seems like a normal palace drama to some sort of full on Wuxia/xianxia thing by the end. Which I admit I'm not a fan of so if you are you may enjoy it a little more than me...maybe.
