I am so damn impressed by wang yu zi's performance in every period drama .. this man is born to be the ML of period dramas PERIOD !
he captures the essences of his character on a different level and blessed with his looks je actually gives that kind and generous emperor like vibes.
As far as wen moyan is concerned,she is a terrific actress I saw her performance in 'your trap' and her role was so sensuous and seductive. Whereas in this one she is portraying a cute and lovely girl ( with revenge feeling on the side ways) .. Though I personally felt her chemistry with weng yu zi was outstanding better than with any other actor.

The side characters (cast) was equally talented and good-looking especially the female characters ( Xu'ar, li' sister, chinqui,chen'mother)

The story itself was quite interesting and the way its plot is executive made it even more addicting. The pace was consistent and there were no boring and unnecessary scenes. Though this season doesn't unfolds a lot about the conspiracies and is more centred on leng ki and xuan'er's character.

There were comparatively less fight scenes and the choreography of these fight scenes was not impressive but it's okay, as that wasn't even the demand of this story.

Opening sound track was good, very soothing and quite apt for the theme.


Over all this was a great drama that I can recommend with holding back .. you can define give it a try (it also has season 2)
