I started watching this show because I loved Yan Xi in Dear Herbal Lord!! However, I stopped watching the show around episode 7 because I felt that there was not enough chemistry between the characters. Even when Yan Xi played a similar cold character in Dear Herbal Lord, I could still feel tension and romantic interest. I am not sure if what I am saying makes sense, but the female lead's role just wasn't my favorite. She is a good actress, but I did not like the dynamic between the characters, it just felt flat :/ Which makes me sad :(

Although I watch all kinds of dramas, especially costume dramas, if there is a lack of chemistry in a romance, I cannot finish it. I have put this show on hold for now and will update my review if the second half of the show changes my mind. If anyone felt the same way but decided to finish the show anyway, I am curious if the other half of the show changed your mind.
