I’m especially liking this for the leads. I feel that they are written well. Mu Zhuo hua is smart, witty, perceptive. Actress Jing Tian does a nice job portraying her. Lord Ding to me is like an old old soul, in a fairly young man. He’s wise, thoughtful, and reserved himself to be a recluse until Mu Zhuohua came to his life. Feng Shao Feng also plays his role well. I admit his forever slow motions…walk, movement of head, even speaking (imo) tests my patience sometimes but the mix of his old soul to her witty smiles makes them so cute. Besides this, they match each others intelligence so that together, they’re able to solve arising problems or even solve old mysteries.

It’s a drama for mature minds. It’s a nice break from idol casting. It might not be for everyone but I think if you’re willing to be patient and stick with it, producers and writers did a pretty decent job, and of course the cast who is delivering. I’m up to episode thirty and my attention hasn’t been hindered. Well…perhaps a tad here and there with the slow burn romance. Otherwise, this cast deserves an audience and I hope you give them a try.
