The drama is a beautiful pain.

The CGI, costume and the casts are beautiful. The torture was too much for health but it was needed to paint a picture of how the characters have to go through such hardship in order to be freed to love each other.

I both hate and love Chang An's character as he left a huge scar for the fans of the drama. He is such a gentle and yet so stubborn that nobody can bend his will.

I love how the plot turned from a girl who is in love to a girl who wants nothing to do with love as the betrayal and the pain of losing the people that you care so much are more potent than her own physical pain.
