The Great Ruler is a great and interesting story. The writer is good in developing the story and the characters one by one until the end.

The casting is a bit problem here i think! The lead was a bit weak. Even side role is far more better. They are not really bad though just i felt they should done more better because the STORY WAS REALLY GREAT! A bit disappointed but overall still watchable and enjoyable. I like Liu Mubai character a lot and the actor who did it is excellent. He succeeds in potray the changes in him and how he still have clear conscious at the end. N somehow i secretly felt, he should be the lead. Mu Chen did it well too but he should done better as his role is SERIOUSLY IMPORTANT! Other actors done well too especially all the teachers and Mr. Mu of course.

The CGI and environment was nice and beautiful too but i still think there are few parts can be improved especially when Mu Chen gain great power at the end. The Ost is great btw. I like because it kind of different from other ancient/fantasy drama.

Overall the drama is really great and worth to watch. Even though there are some disappointment at few part (as i should felt they should do better), but the show is enjoyable.
