If you can get past the editing then its fine
First thing you need to know is that this drama was meant to be way longer but they cut it down to 36 episodes. That's why some of the scenes feel abrupt and the plot moves really quickly. If you can get over that then this is a good story that is both unique and interesting. While there is a love story this is really Mo Wan's story. I love seeing her play the game of politics and the game of the harem.
I think the writers shouldn't have done the soul switching stuff between Moxin and Mowan and instead have this be a story about a younger sister avenging her older sister. Because the soul-switching along with the memory loss leaves us with the question of who is the person in Mowans body.
Acting/Cast: No disrespect to Chen Zhe Yuan (the ML) but I just don't buy that he is this powerful "god of war" when he looks like a kid. I think they should have casted an older looking actor that could really sell it. I think of someone like Benson Wang who played General Pei in "Goodbye My Princess."
The ML in my view is kind off a weak point in this story. As I said this is Mowan's story and he's just in it. He doesn't really do much until the end. The emperor has more screen time then him. I also didn't feel much chemistry between him and the FL.
The FL (Li Mo Zhi) grew on me- although I do admit that she does look a bit old for a character who is suppose to be like 20. I also hated those bangs she had in the beginning- glad she got rid of them.
I will say that I really liked this character and I admired how dedicated she was to getting her revenge- even going so far as to sleep with the emperor. I know a lot of people didn't like that but I personally thought it was realistic and made the drama stand out to me.
The emperor (Johnny Zhang) was great as the insecure and jealous emperor. I have to admit that I may be biased towards him because he is voiced by Bian Jiang, who has such a soothing voice.
Also the actress who played Yao Su Luan (Natalie Zhang) was a stand out performer.
OST: I like the ending theme
Overall: I wish the show wasn't cut and we could get the full story but alas.
