It has the trifecta. The story and editing is excellent so it constantly moves and develops. The dialogue is witty, comical at times and realistic - which can be a rarity - and all of this is supported by phenomenal acting. The chemistry between the two leads is off the chart, and both actors do a great job of expressing subtle emotions and display great range. Ariel Lin is a veteran so no surprises there (great to see her back in a historical piece) and Zhang Bin Bin just shows how great he is and can be. He's been doing great in all the dramas I've watched, and this one is no exception. I feel like he is definitely one to watch. He just has that on-screen charisma that you see in great actors. So if you are pretty new to the Chinese historical dramas - this is definitely a great one to start with - it's still airing now (1/28/19) but if it keeps up what it's done so far in terms of the writing, editing, dialogue and acting - I imagine we'll all be in for a fantastic fun ride.
