I went into this tv series thinking that it was going to be something like Scarlet Heart. And in someways it was.....but in some ways it was not. And I didn't mind that at all because I started to fall in love with the story line. It was a nice balance of comedy and romance and other emotions. I really did enjoy the way the story took it's direction. The only reason why I did not give the story a 10/10 was because I wish they added more about the time-travel part of the story or intertwine the two part (historical and time-travel) of the story together a little bit better. It was a bit annoying, but I made it through and am glad that I did.

The ending of this story was without-a-doubt the BEST!!!!!! I'm not going to spoil anything for those who haven't seen it, but it was a lot more uplifting than I expected. I have watched other "traveling to the past" sort of movies/tv series, like Scarlet Heart and A Step Into The Past and Love Through A Millennium, and usually they would end it either in a completely heart-rendering or somewhere along those lines. Even when the ending ends on a lighter note, I would still feel gutted in some way because, to me, it was not a happy ending that was complete. But the ending in this tv show is a great difference. It was unique, original, and did not leave me yearning for a true happy ending. I think the ending, alongside with some other factors, made the show really worth watching.

Acting/Cast: I've read many things about how the acting was "elementary" and was not up-to-par, but I totally disagree. I think the choice in the cast was a good choice and it made sense incorporated into the storyline. The fact that Grace Chan may looks like a foreigner when she is actually not fits with Wong Tai-Mui's character in the show. Not only that, but I now cannot imagine how the show would turn out if the casting was not like the same. In my opinion, the casting of this show really did enhanced my watching experience as a viewer. And their acting abilities were a great/primary factor in this as well...

The music was also really great. There were primarily 3 songs throughout the whole show, even though there were many different interpretations of each songs here and there. I gave the music a top score because I actually enjoyed the music, and when it was played in the show really helped enhanced my emotions for that scene even more. I think in a great show/movie/drama music plays a big factor on how immersed they can get the viewers to be in the film..... and the song selections and timing of these songs in this show was commendable.

When I get the chance, I will definitely rewatch this show again.^^
