Some of us must have known the story and character of Li Changge. So, it's interesting to see how it would be portrayed and visually performed; and how everything would be wrapped up in this drama series. Although I am not a big fan of the choice of Wu Lei as male lead with his flat acting and to be honest Dilraba could have been better Li Changge with more expressive acting. But overall I could manage that since Zhao Lusi has been doing fantastic job to bring up her character slowly but surely. At first, things actually were so good until episode 27, story moved in good pace keeping us interestingly watching . However, starting from episode 28, story was somehow dragging and becoming boring in which many unnecessary scenes. Some casts are only good looking but they were rather annoying to watch. I almost dropped this on episode 30, but I kept carry on watching as curious about how it would end and hoping I could finish it and preserve the good rating. Overall, It's ok but definitely not the best serious historical drama as many praised , no clever twist to make it interestingly different and more captivating apart of the popularity of Dilraba and Zhao Lusi perhaps the one that are drawn us to watch.

This movie really has wasted great casts like Chang Chen and Ni Ni! It's a shame. I just love the snowy mountains's set, but not really got into the story.

I am echoing other's comment on the female lead who actually good actress. But she's terrible here! I do agree that her real voice is unbearable and her acting is unnatural for the character. I have the same reason to drop this!

Not a big fan of the dark magic or ghost story. Acting of some casts were so so and sometimes exaggerated and annoying. Production and cinematography were nothing extraordinary! I not sure why people it, but I just didn't. I indeed tried to continue watching it few times on Netflix, but I just couldn't. It's just not my cup of tea as I just finished watching mature historical drana like Royal Nirvana which was far more epic than this drama.

I do love watching a heavy political C-drama. Thank God I have dicided to watch this! Royal Nirvana (60 eps) and Royal Nirvana Special (12 eps) combined is one of the best political C-Drama ever! It's an exciting rollercoaster! The male and female leads do deserve the best actor and actress award! All out tremendous acting from both, Luo Jin (the sociopath Crown Prince) and Li Yitong (the gracefullly beautiful, smart gentle heroine Lu WenXi). Wicked storyline and plots, epic production and beautiful cinematography supported by great music, casts and acting! The conflicts in this drama was sadistic but the romance was romantically hot! The shadow of Luo Jin and Li Yitong's romantic moments behind the screening was astonishingly beautiful and intellectually romantic. Moreover, the catepillar kiss and 3 years longing kiss are def the best kissing scene in all C-dramas I have ever watched! It's just A. M. A. Z. I. N. G!
