I thoroughly enjoyed the show, but I think the character of Tuo Ba Yu is absolutely the highlight, even overshadowed the male lead. This is an cunning and ambitious man who could sacrifice anyone in the world to achieve his goal, except for one woman. Even he is a villain, I can't help being intrigued and care about this character. The actor did a fantastic job playing this role!

If you like your baddies super bad to the core and relentless then you will enjoy this. The Princess faces many hardships mainly due to other women who are jealous of her ability to make so many men fall in love with her. It sounds ridiculous but as you watch it and experience the hardships she endures you find yourself falling in love with her goodness. Luckily she has friends who adore her and a Prince who watches over her and she loves. She is betrayed by people she trusts and you wonder if she will ever be happy for more then a short time. Acting is superb and pacing of each programme is excellent and you tend to end up binge watching as it draws you in.

I loved the entire series! Beautiful costumes, beautiful scenery, beautiful music, handsome and beautiful actors, cliffhangers almost every episode. It had adventure, love, strategy, envy and tragedy. The recurring theme was people trying to get or destroy Weiyoung and how she fulfilled her grandmother's wish to Live On.

There are times when ya start to think, Really? Again?? But the story re-upped to more interesting parts. Some elements were not realistic, which is fine with me because I don't care for graphic fight scenes or explicit love scenes. It became comical to us that people could be run through with swords, and later say, "I'm fine" or kind of jump fly in battle. The story was mild enough to view with my pre-teen even with a few mature themes.

I have watched the whole series twice so far and may watch it again.

This is the first Chinese drama I've watched and I'm hooked! The production is epic. The love story is utterly mesmerizing and the leads, Tiffany Tang and Luo Jin, are sensational in looks, acting chops and chemistry. The palace intrigues are riveting and the intelligence of Weiyong as she tries to prevail over her enemies' nefarious schemes is exciting to watch.

Loved this show but don't understand why they try and pass girls as men. Breast are hard to hide and voices are feminine... good family show.
