Just a warning. This drama has the most luscious male lead I have seen in a drama. That said I felt the rest of the cast lacked the chemistry and skills to make the story lines work You almost begin to hate the people around him (save two sidekicks). There are some unexplained transitions, unrealistic transitions and most of all the cruel part is generally watching each episode waiting for the writers to stop doing flashbacks to fill up time. I am new to Chinese dramas - trying to transition from K dramas after watching Nirvana with Hu Ge but I am not giving up. 40 episodes is too many for weak story lines. Watch it if you are just bored.
