I love how the characters are equals; not in terms of leading armies but they are both capable and smart in leading people. I appreciate the primary characters' consistency – the main characters didn't do anything silly or frustrating that was out of character. The duo were a match made in heaven, in both mind and body, and together they were an unstoppable force to be reckoned with.

Special mention to the styling - I loved the costumes of the casts.
The performance and casting are also excellent. In several situations, the faces they chose were so flawless that a number of crucial characters' faces just suited their jobs! They are also fully immersed in their roles. The actors were all well suited to their roles and it seemed like they were made for them.


It gently balances the light-hearted romance with heavier and darker issues like politics, conflicts and strategies.

Thank you YOUKU for such a great series, this is by far your best drama.
