This is a very tough to watch political drama. It has many plot twists and uses many phrases from poem, which, if not translated well can confuse the audience, namely me! haha. I watched this show on YouTube and I think I did not really get the full enjoyment of watching this series because of poor English translation in YouTube. However, I really applaud both Luo Jin and Li Yi Tong, as well as the many senior supporting actors (including the king). That's what made this show with its long episodes enjoyable for me. If you fluently understand Mandarin, you would have enjoyed this drama a lot more. The other thing that I like is the cinematography. You are really spoiled with beautiful landscape and view. Really beautiful. And I like the OST and thought that the opening credit of this drama is really cool and has that "majestic" feeling. I would have rated this drama much higher had I watched it with perfect English translation.
