This drama started off good but became weak after the middle part so I started to fast forward a lot of the scenes cause it felt so unbearable for me of the constant same plot being dragged over and over...Some of the computer effects were really bad which made serious scenes funny. The fightning scenes themselves were nice and enjoyed it, some of the support cast story were okay to watch but not something which will shine the main leads spotlight.

I can't say I regret watching this, it had its nice parts if only they did not forget main females actual backstory revenge as most tmes it felt like it did not exist anymore. The preview and opening of chinese dramas will contain major spoilers and this one ranks high on it, because of ending preview I expected to see empress ki rise to power style but Wei Young revenge went very weak as it went on. It felt unsatisfying as you get closer to the end. And some the characters went unlogical at times even unreasonable just to make more people be against main female.

Would I recommend watching this? Depends, even if you fast forward the scenes you won't miss much, villains were very gliche and story went predictable. Maybie it would be more enjoyable for a first timer but I have seen these similar troupes in many C-dramas so it was weak for my tastes. I will not rewatch this, its not worth it. Was thinking If I should give it 7.5 or 7 but I did not "liked it", for me it was "okay" drama to watch if you really enjoy seeing the main girl figure out schemes and climbing her way to the top to fall down over and over and get back on top then yes watch it. I mostly miss the first half of the drama and would have given 8 but went 6.5 near the end.
