This is one of those wonderful Chinese dramas that is low-budget, has fairly inexperienced actors as the leads, and is set in a historical period (supposedly). There is a political plot line, but it's mostly for show -- the actual scheming is paper-thin and fairly uninteresting. At the end of the day this drama is a vehicle for the leads to fall in love, kiss, and do all kinds of sweet things onscreen. There's no need to read more into it, because there's really nothing else to say.

I liked the leads quite well. They were pretty green at times, but I felt like they did a good job with their characters and they had good chemistry onscreen. This isn't exactly a drama that requires extraordinary acting chops, either. Are you pretty? Are you NOT annoying? Can you fall in love with someone on-screen? Can you kiss well? Then you're ready! But all jokes aside, I did think they were quite entertaining and made the drama enjoyable.

This is not very emotionally moving, certainly isn't serious, has none of the intelligent plot lines that one might look for in a historical drama, and has a fairly low budget. But it's perfect for if you want to watch plenty of funny and sweet moments onscreen, just remember the power of the fast-forward button.
