This drama series is a must watch series, the cast is well acted with adequate experience and each episode is so exciting that will make you look forward to watch the next and i finished 54 episodes in just 7 days for a working adult that only watch during weekdays night and weekend.

The plot is well planned as some characters are not drawn from the real Northern Wei historic era, the fictional characters were well written and acted together with the non fictional Northern Wei characters, kudos to the story planners.

Costumes, props were all nicely done. Story was not draggy, for certain part of the story where higher authorities instructed for evidence gathering, evidence was gathered by the next second of the show and not dragged for the evidence to be shown only after 3-4 episodes, its really well done. This is the type of drama plot that most wanted to watch but seldom seen.

On the overall, i would strongly recommend this drama, you can do a short read up on Northern Wei history to know more about some characters that will appear in the show, on the other hand, without history base is perfectly fine, this drama is easy to understand with no hidden agenda and storyline is clean with no twist and turn for guessing and thinking. I did not give a perfect rewatch value as i feel there is no one who will rewatch a drama series unlike a movie which last around 1.5-3 hours. A drama series can last over 50 - 100 hours of screen time unless you are exceptionally bored or the drama cast involve your family, friends or idols. This drama is definitely worth watching.
