@liztai I think it is a slight overreaction to be deeply disappointed in the drama. It is good and better than so many others. The costumes are very good, especially the male costumes flow really well.
It looks like this drama might help Liu Xueyi break into the next tier of fame. He was famous before but this role is a bigger and more romantic role than his earlier dramas. He has looks, acting chops and a sense of humour so let’s hope he is given more lead roles in the future.
