I did not finish this drama so take this review with a grain of salt. I stopped at episode 11. This drama is like a very pretty house that has no furniture. The superficial things look great- the cast, fashion, colors. But the actual plot is so draggy. This drama is 40 episodes but I got to ep 11 and I swear NOTHING has happened. The characters just sit around and talk to each other about what supposedly happened in the past but there is little to no action in the present.

Although the costumes look really pretty, I'm also not sure how accurate they are to the times. The same thing goes for the props. It's almost so pretty that it feels fake? The Yi family mansion is so busy with furniture and fancy decor that it ends up looking like a set instead of a real 1920s home.

Overall, this drama has all the shiny elements but no real substance. This cast was completely wasted. The only character I was invested in was Wei An.
