The story has not been boring but fairly entertaining and has a fair number of twists. I have aborted many dramas in past several months. I had watched Season 1, and Season 2 has been equally entertaining so far. I have rarely watched beyond 10 episodes this year. The change in scenery, from palace court, is a welcome change to the story. I enjoy watching Liu Li's uncanny intelligence to escape tricky moments. It's undeniable Liu Li is the star of this series. She remains a beauty who is worth looking for many moments.
