A breath of fresh air and a highly-recommended period drama.

This is the second Chinese drama that I didn't drop. The production is definitely high budgeted. Those camera angles and visuals are exquisite. The background music is fitting to the scenes as well. The acting of the leads are always on point. I didn't expect much on the supporting characters, but it surprised me a lot. From the annoying grandmother to the funny but loving emperor. All the casts has been thought through. The story/plot is quite slow burn but it was essential enough for the growth of each character especially to the female lead. I love the female lead's personality, she always wins in any argument. Everyone thinks that she's an idiot who lacks manners, but she's definitely the smartest. I love the she's not even swayed by other people's judgements on her, even on the Male lead's good looks. The male lead has given justice to his character as a fierce and ruthless general. He is fearsome to other people, but soft-hearted to the female lead. I like how his voice changes most especially when he's in front of the female lead. One of the many things that I love about this drama is truly the chemistry between the leads. Their expressions are so natural. Seems like they don't have to try so hard just to look in love. Overall, this is a highly-recommended romance period drama.

One of the best period dramas. The chemistry between the leads is so compelling.

I have never been addicted to a Chinese drama before and truthfully this is the first time. Part 1 was already amazing even though some would say that it's a slow burn drama. I love how slow it is. As always, acting is on point even on supporting characters. Indeed, this was one highly produced drama. The casts of this drama will never disappoint. The story is also unpredictable. I always wonder what will happen next. The romance between the leads is great. I love how the scenes between the leads are not exaggerated just to justify the theme of romance. I love how even their small talks can bring such a natural chemistry between the two. Moreover, the exchange of dialogues were also well-written and thought through. This one is by far one of the most romantic period dramas I have watched.
