A Thrilling Rollercoaster Filled with Twists And Turns

*Spoiler Alert*

Story-The story was filled with unexpected events and this story is very unique. The beginning of the drama starts off a bit slow, but the pace fastens. The story includes several very emotional scenes which to me as expected. But there were also several betrayals that heavily impact the storyline. In the beginning, the enemy of Chang Ge is her second uncle, but as the story progresses, he is somewhat hidden as Chang Ge deals with other smaller enemies from episode to episode.. Ashile Sun doesn't really have an enemy in the beginning since he is disguised and his true background isn't revealed. But as soon as Ashilie Sun returns to where he came from, there are several apparent enemies. In the last half-ish, the antagonist changes to Princess Yi Cheng or better yet known as the official wife of Great Khan. In the first half, there were some subtle signs that viewers may or may not pick up that Princess Yi Cheng wasn't as good as she looked from the outside. Princess Yi Cheng is the main antagonist in the overall story for reasons that will be later in this review. The protagonists are most of the characters including but not excluding Chang Ge, Ashilie Sun, Leyan, and some other smaller characters. Hao Du and Sher aren't in the list because they are part-antagonists and part-protagonist. There will be several unexpected twists that are nice. The reason the rating isn't a 10 is that there are some faults in the storyline or just things that don't make sense or are illogical, but that is somewhat excusable because this story isn't just historical, it focuses also on romance. The story is unique in the sense that it is not cliche. There are obviously cliche parts of the story and cliche scenes but there are also unique ones as too. This drama to me has one if not the most interesting plots. This isn't a drama where I was drawn in on the first episode but from around the 5th episode. The main reason I kept watching was the storyline.

Acting/Cast- To me, this cast was perfect. Each actor/actress fit their role well. Dilrabe as Chang Ge was such a great choice. After finishing the drama, I can not think of any other person who could and would portray the role of Li Chang Ge as well as she did. The same goes for Leo Wu, a perfect choice for Ashilie Sun, and the chemistry between the 2 was insane. Hao Du and Leyan were another great pair. Liu Yu Ning was great as Hao Du, an extremely obedient son and guard. Zhao Lu Si played the vulnerable and kind-hearted Leyan amazing as well. Leyan grows immensely in chatter throughout the course of her being lost and Zhao Lu Si fantastically showed it. Alen Fang was again amazing as the troubled Wei Shu Yu. Wei Shu Yu is an interesting character, he seemed uneasy a lot and Alen portrayed this internal-conflicting character well. The supporting cast as was amazing. The actor for Great Khan looked so much like what I think Khan would look like and looks very angry and unapproachable just by the look of the face. The acting for when he was bedridden was just done so well. You could feel his attitude towards every character that visited him and saw/interacted with him when he was awake.
The acting was really good. For the emotional scenes, I got emotional or was going to or shed some tears. There are also some cute scenes that as usual made my heart flutter.

Music- The music was better than what I thought it was going to be. The more I heard the music, the more I liked it. The Osts were so soothing and emotional. Zhou Shen's voice was so amazing and I could feel the emotion he projected.

Overall- A 10/10. This is an unforgettable love story of Chang Ge and Ashilie Sun's which involves war, betrayals, many dangers, enemies, misunderstandings. The story tells how Chang Ge and Ashilie meet over and over again and become friends. In the process, they both start falling in love and they understand each other to a point where their romance just flows with the story. There isn't really any confession because, by the time they both realize how much they love and care for each other, they are already so in love.

The 2nd's leads' love story quite an interesting one which is about a cold guard and a kindhearted princess. In the beginning of the story, they seem so distant but slowly they start falling in love. This is quite the slow burn. Hao Du changes into a more approachable and friendly dude while Leyan changes into a person who understands more of the world and its many problems the people face. The unlikely pair falls in love and it is super heartwarming.

The battling scenes were done extremely well. I didn't mind the comics during some of the battle scenes, although it may seem like they want to save money for production, which if that is even the truth, I still wouldn't;t mind. The comics were done quite well. The production of the drama was spectacular. I liked that there weren't that many if any green-screened backgrounds. If green screens were used, it was for short or the battle scenes which I thought was fine. The central plains had such nice scenery. And the palace and streets of the drama seemed pretty surreal too.

49 episodes might seem like a lot, but once you get hooked in, it seems like there are too few episodes.

The drama is a great drama which I will come back to or just watch clips of pretty regularly. This is also going on my list of one of the best dramas ever and one of my favorite dramas.
