What can I say...

I liked this drama a lot, it was the better ancient series compared to the average ancient series you usually see, the cast was pretty strong.

The acting was good too, even the acting from supporting roles were just as good I believe. The only thing I really disliked was the computerized parts when they fight - it was a bit too overused and I had to laugh at some parts cos it looked ridiculous...[to me anyays].

Definitely a recommended series

I have seen finished this series as well and i think this serie is good except it may go a slow pace as compared to normal tvb pace... and i thought the Han Bai and General Xu's father and son relationship dragged in the middle of the serie...
other than that, i really enjoyed this serie and make me like
raymond lam and charmaine sheh
bosco wong and sharon chan
as a couple... and derek character and acting here is excellent...
also i thought that the fighting scenes could have done better especially if without the fast-paced fighting...
Overall, this serie had its excellence and all the acting is good except for some minors...
