Ngl, this took me longer to finish as first episode's so slow-paced and boring. Therefore, one may need to have more patience w/ the earlier episodes so that u can enjoy the later ones. Drama is very heavy on the politics, and light in romance, yet it has a heart touching love story between ill fated couples.
*Characters- all were highly complex. The Emperor, Consort Min---
But what intrigues me the most is the Empress and Lang Kun's story!
*Production - costumes, ost and make-up is good
This is undeniably a good drama and the twist and turns will leave a deep impression.
