Ok, I don't usually leave reviews, but I feel that it would be helpful for anyone thinking of whether or not to watch this drama. Just a warning! Although I won't have major spoilers, there are a few.

The story: This is definitely your typical Chinese historical romance plot of sorrow, revenge, romance, family, love triangles, and bad guys. If you're familiar with stories such as The Princess Weiyoung, The Legend of Yunxi, and The Legend of Fuyao, then this is pretty much the same kinda plot. Although the storyline in great, there really isn't something too special about it. However, it's well done and i'd say almost at the level of all of my favourite historical dramas. If you're a romantic historical drama lover, then this is the drama for you, but if you're looking for something new, then I'd suggest you find a different show. The organization of when things happened and the amount of time things took could be much improved (you'll understand what I mean once you watch it). There were two episodes that were way too rushed and they honestly kinda ruined it for me, but they were still super cute.

Acting: The actors were generally great and super cute! This is the first time I see any of the leads in a drama, and I absolutely adore them. There were a few scenes where I was like "oh come on! they should've redone that scene" and I don't think any of the kiss scenes were real, which pissed me off. That being said, I would say that the acting was for sure great and they did a pretty good job overall.

Music: The music was amazing! I loved the music and it matched perfectly with the scenes. However, I'm not sure if this was from the youtube editing or from the original editing, but there were a few scenes where the audio was separated from the background music. Because of that, there were twi songs playing at once and the audio was not clear.

Overall: Apart from the kinda rushed happy ending, the frustration with the amount of time it took for the male lead to know that she's a girl, and the rushed part where he told her that he knew, I'd definitely recommend this drama as it has great lessons and keeps you engaged and addicted. It's been a while since I've been this addicted to a drama and that alone proved how great it is. I loved the story, acting, and the costumes.
