This drama started off really nice and got me hooked from the beginning episodes... the middle was okay and the ending part was awesome, the episodes of misunderstandings felt too long and the male lead sacrificing himself every time was somewhat exhausting but i really liked the drama... although i did skip a lot (i always do with very long dramas), i didn't skip as much as i usually do. many of the characters here are likable. female lead is one of the most bearable chinese dramas have given us in a while (she had only a few episodes of stupidity ONLY). Although the villans were annoying, have to admit they were good looking lol..... the ending was satisfying imo everybody got what they deserved.
overall drama quality is up to par with Ten miles of peach blossoms and ashes of love which are my favorites in this genre. the music was lovely as well.
