An absolute masterpiece! Brilliant acting bringing out an interesting even though sad story. Luo Jin is excellent in this drama. His every move is that of a true actor, he draws you into his world and before you know it, you are crying with him or rejoicing with him whenever he lands a win.
The setting, the costumes the details of tradition is amazing. All the actors were just superb, the king- we may or may not like his character but his acting was excellent. The heroine, the crown princes teacher, even Li Baizhou exhibited and portrayed excellent acting.
I was hoping so much for a happier ending though as the hero and heroine went through so much.
One of the best chinese drama's by far - i hope they make more like this drama! A DEFINITE MUST WATCH.
