I just finished watching this for the second time through, and it's just as fun as I remembered! This is a great adventure romp with a clever, playful, outgoing male lead, and a smart female lead with her own problems to solve. A lot of people seem to be comparing it to The Romance of Hua Rong, but personally I think the show it's more similar to is The Romance Of The Tiger & The Rose: a light action/adventure/romance comedy featuring two canny leads with their own agendas who can each hold their own playing off of each other's schemes and eventually working together as they grow to like and trust each other. If you're looking for a serious drama, this isn't for you; it has its more serious moments, but this is mostly lighthearted. Also probably not for you if you like your MLs silent and brooding or pampered and demanding! Yan Qing is (imo delightfully) upbeat, mischievous, and focused in a way that seems to be rare in c drama male leads. Ling Long, the FL, is a little unconventional herself, being a politically savvy and often colder character, but the two play off each other wonderfully, in my opinion. The ending sets up pretty well for a sequel, and fingers crossed we'll get one!

Just a note - the first five minutes or so of the first episode are cut off on Viki for some reason, so it's better to watch at least the first episode on youtube! The show makes a lot more sense if you get that beginning exposition.
