I have always been a fan of Jing Tian's acting but unfortunately, most of her earlier dramas did not impress me. Nor have I been too impressed with many republican dramas I have watched over the years as they are too repetitive in terms of plot or they story fizzles out because of bad acting. This one is different. All acting is excellent if not good. The Male Lead's father in particular is amazing with his quiet and menacing ways and the women who are his wives - great acting without being too over dramatic. Last but not least, the main leads - the slowly mounting tension - coupled with the suspense has been great to watch. I usually don't like to review until the drama has ended but so far, all 12 episodes are good to watch and to re-watch. I will recommend this one.
