What a captivating story! But the female lead's face ruins my watching enjoyment. Where do I begin? I understand the female's character vision of the story but still the creators could have chosen a better looking actress. She has nice abundant hair though. She has such an annoying face and no range of facial expression. She always displayed a facial expression that she detest or smelled some kind of bad odor. I watched this because I was bored. I don't normally watch modern Chinese series only the period dramas but I guess I ran out of something to watch.

If you're an extreme feminist perhaps you won't be able to handle to watch this series.It's the BDSM of television drama that touches your psyche. If you want to torture yourself at the same time having the pleasure of watching on how this series unfolds - this is how you will feel about this story. Kudos to the writers for creating such an excellent stupidly moronic female character. Yes she is an ABSOLUTE moron in this story. Indeed there are some people in this world who would allow themselves to be dominated and manipulated by others. I extremely abhor this character because as a human being you're responsible of what happens to you.

If it were not for the story I won't be able to finish this series. Damn! None of the cast in this drama are good looking except for Harwich Lau. Even him is not really outstandingly handsome. His supposedly wife looked so matronly that she could have played his mother. Come on! What's wrong with the creators? Perhaps this is an extremely low budget project. Even the other love interest of the female lead looked like below average. What's the point of watching a movie or TV if they're not pleasing to the eyes. Instead they're an eye sore. Indeed good job to the creators for creating this fantastic series despite the lackluster appearance of the cast. Except of course of the male lead and his acting skill is superb. Bravo! Most of the time you would loathe him at the same time he can successfully make you feel pity for him.
