This isn't your average entertaining television drama and it isn't for most ppl that have a busy life. This isn't something to relax too. It's out right boring after 10, 15 episodes. This drama is 73 episodes so it requires a lot of time & patience to wait as the story unfolds. If you're someone who can become interested in the normal day to day life of a dysfunctional Chinese family that consist of one man, his wife, his step mother, concubines and children, and their pettiness.. this just may be the show for you. No serious edge of your seat drama, surprising twist, intense performances, cleverness, light humor or cliff hangers. The writer puts too much focus on the pettiness of ppl with to much time on their hands. The politics, which usually holds my attention if it's brilliantly weaved in the show or the actors give an intense and good performance ..had me dozing off more often than not until I could take no more๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ. I didn't think much of the true life drama, "Nothing Gold Can Stay" but my God that was ten times better ๐ฏ๐๐ฟ..imho.
