Worth watching
I see a lot of reviews of people saying that the drama is quite unrealistic with scenes that don't quite make sense, which I do agree. However, what is a drama (historical drama at that) if it's completely realistic? I'm going to skip the parts where they don't make sense and jump to the parts where I do think are pretty well executed.
1) Peng Xiao Ran did an excellent job in portraying the female character. She manage to showcase the personalities of the character and bring it to life. You can practically how the character feels at the moment through her expressions - when she is angry, when she is thinking, when she is panicking and when she is determined. One thing's for sure is she definitely carried the drama.
2) Parts whereby the female lead had to manoeuvre through obstacles. I think the scriptwriter did a pretty good job at creating these storylines and completing them creatively. However, after a year of good dramas with really intelligent plots, this drama probably needs a bit more hard work to catch up to that standard.
3) The four male suitors (a bit of an overkill) display very different personalities and have different significance to the female lead's life. I like how the four of them display very different roles and have different perspectives to how they portray affection and love. Also, the female lead wasn't leading any of them on, there weren't much love triangle, square, or however the shape turns out with four suitors and she was firm from the start as to what she wants, which I think is appropriate for the drama because I don't peg this as a romance drama.
--- Spoilers Alert ---
One thing I really, really, really wish will turn out differently is that the female lead ends up with Ning Yun Zhao instead. Don't you think they are a better couple - character wise, thinking and the vibe they give out?
Not that I dislike Zhu Zan but he doesn't really have the male lead vibe as compared to Ning Yun Zhao. This is really my personal preference.
In overall, I do think it's a pretty decent drama but I have seen better dramas, the plot for this one is not exactly extraordinary.
