Based solely on the first 12 episodes.

.

The story is good. The acting is okay. The music is great. In almost 12 episodes, RFY was able to give me a wonderful costume drama with riveting palace politics, a flawless coup d'etat, a heart racing love story and Ju Jing Yi in not one, but TWO gorgeous wedding dresses.

What more could I ask for?

There is no need for me to continue. I don't want to see them struggling with love rivals, easily resolvable misunderstandings and an unnecessary breakup for the next TWENTY EIGHT EPISODES.

TWENTY EIGHT.

This drama has a happily ever after right here, right now at the start of episode 12.

I'm okay. Now I'll listen to the OST on repeat.
