Original story which allows for a perfect mix of some costume scenes. The scenes are light but sometimes cringy. The romance is written really well, characters are a little too perfect but that's classic Chinese drama. The biggest downfall has to be the horrible casting. There is no chemistry between the leads and the female lead has a range of a handful of emotions. I recommend you watch the movie first to get a better appreciation of the story like I did, had to finish all 30 epis because of that.
