This drama has been trending on social media and overall, it was a really fun and touching drama to watch!! It is also the second work of Esther Yu and Ding Yuxi as main leads, they have worked together before in Moonlight, which I haven’t watched yet.

The drama includes a variety of creative elements/settings you have never seen / heard before, which were honestly also kinda creepy sometimes.

However, for me there were times where it got a bit too complex and too “chaotic”, if you get what I mean, especially towards the end where I could not really keep up anymore, which is mainly the reason why I only gave it 8 stars... Maybe other pp can but for me it was just a bit too much

Moreover, the whole series reminded me A LOT of asian video games and it lowkey felt like I was watching people playing a video game (uh actually the whole series was kinda like a video game…?)

Considering of when starting the drama it can get a bit boring and you gotta get used to the female lead bc it could be a bit "cringe" for pp (which is quite normal for chinese dramas) but time after time you'll get used to it and it also gets quite emotional...

In addition to that I personally really loved the makeup styles and the hairstyles, it was a perfect mix of modern and tradition. Many people think the cinematic was very beautiful as well, which also is, but sometimes it got a bit too AI-generated for me and looked really unrealistic…

Coming to the ending of the series, the ending is very open ended (which is also quite typical for historical cdramas), but for me it was actually very beautiful but definitely shocking as well (the series ends with a big plot twist)…

Just FYI, the main lead does not have any kiss scenes except for like the outro (song/credits) of the last episode.

Well all in all, I def think it was worth a watch!!
