After watching this drama for a while, I must admit it is a good drama. I didn't like it that much in the beginning but continued watching it because of Xu Kai. Over time as I watched more and more, I got the theme of the drama and I started really liking it. This drama gets better and better. In the middle it was kind of frustrating on the interaction between the leads; but after episode 32 or so, things smoothed up. I think it's because the drama is supposed to follow a history line and one must have some background on what went on behind the characters or real people portrayed by the FL and ML. Now, it does requires a good understanding of Chinese, I felt it uses a very highly complicated language in the beginning of the drama. I think not having a good translation may have had added the frustration of some audiences. On my own, I'll give it a 9.9 :D
