This drama is honestly a very casual drama with a simple story. After finishing it, the drama is very similar to the Korean drama, Love In the Moonlight. The relationship between the main male and female lead is easy to follow and lovely. However, sometimes the male actor seems awkward and the dictation isn't really audible. But Ma Meng Wei really saves this drama. She makes this drama hilarious and believable. She sneaks into the palace to earn some money but ends up falling in love with the emperor. I truly wish she had a bigger role when shes in the palace, where she is able to help the emperor. But she is mostly a damsel in distress. Ma Meng Wei's interactions with other characters, especially the two palace guards is honestly one of the best aspects about this show. They are funny and actually showed chemistry on the show.

By episode 5, I got really tired of the theme song. Every time the Emperor shows up and saves the day, the song plays in the background. Don't get me wrong. The song is not bad, but they clearly overplay it.

In this drama, only the relationship between the Emperor and San Bao, the female lead, is believable. The other two relationships, Yelu Ming/Gong Zhiyue and Princess Anle/Lin Yan Qing are very bad and super rushed. They have no character development throughout the entire drama, and in the very last scene of the last episode, we see them together. Those characters were essential to the plot, yet I barely know why they love their respective partners. Zhiyue despises Yelu Ming since they have been fighting wars in the border. But I am supposed to believe that she eventually falls in love with him because the Emperor does not accept her love and Yelu Ming's constant love letters? This causes the relationship to be forced and just awkward at the end of the drama.
