This drama needs season 2 ASAP! If you are more of a romance-genre type, this isn't the drama for you. You won't get much on the romance part because it focuses more on its action-packed scenes, martial arts skills, political disputes, revenge, war etc...BUT you'll always anticipate the interaction between Yuwen Yue & Xing'er (i like Xing'er better lol). I was even torn between Yuwen Yue & Yan Xun but as episodes goes by you'll eventually realize who deserves her better. Ah! There's also Deng Lun! I like his character here...very sweet, charismatic, handsome & kinda funny. Maggie Huang is also here and an expert in her villainess role again although its quite manageable unlike her character in Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms (as Su Jin).
All in all, I enjoyed it and its worth a try.
