I haven’t seen neither the novel or the anime. To me, the storyline is well written and very attractive and I couldn’t help looking forward to watching the next episode every day.
The visual effect of this drama is amazingly incredible and I can say it’s one of the best that I’ve seen in Chinese drama. Nevertheless, Xiao Zhan acting is the highlight of the series, he is charming and fascinating which engages the audience's attention. Besides, all other supporting actors are doing a great job and I can feel their passion and devotion in making a real good production.
