The story is awesome, but it starts a little bit confusing (you have to pay full attention to this series in order to not miss anything) and there are so many characters that you don't know who to follow anymore haha, but I ended up loving every one of them (eccentricities included!). Also, the plot starts a bit boring and slow, but after some episodes everything goes down hill very fast... I was shocked, all the characters just started to die one after another like flies omfg! xd

Despite the cast of amateur actors I really liked the acting, very powerful moments and emotions coming out from the actors (Jian Bin and Xiao Qi, I'm manly talking about you two :c). About the music, the soundtrack was good, it got me emotional many times and I absolutely loved the melody Ah-Li plays with his flute through the series, it's melancholic and sad, but beautiful.

Overall, it's entertaining (if you like politics and people scheming against each other, then this series is perfect for you) and I never got tired of the sweet scenes between the main characters (despite many of them were cut by the censors). 8 out of 10.
