It's melodramatic like most period dramas, but the acting and storyline are pretty good. I'm not a big fan of Sammul Chan's character, but the assassin that Qiao Zhen Yu plays is very likable.
I am! Even though some sections 'spurt dog blood everywhere' (as C-netizens like to call it) and there are some illogical happenings, it's still very watchable, and all 3 leads are portraying their characters wonderfully. I am biased to QZY's assassin...a lot, so much that I sometimes skip all the cat fights that happen in the Du Family.
I was pleasantly surprised to see Shi Xiao Qun (BBJX's Eighth Madam)here, and her character setup as Min Ru is great. All the fans on tieba are discussing the two possible endings:
