I don't understand why Wang Yang (Teng Zijing) isn't listed in the cast. I know he dies at the half way point (thereabouts) but his was one of the most memorable roles in this, to me, anyway.

Loved every minute I watched this. Most excellent story with so many twists and turns that it kept me on the edge of my seat several times. An excellent cast headed by Zhang Ruoyan. He excels in this type of role. The story is compelling and from the opening scene to the last I was totally vested in what happens to Fan Xian. Can't wait for Season 2!

Love how brazen the greed , love , jealousy and evil is brazenly expressed by every character in this show ; with less political intrigue and a firm Emperor this is easily most enjoyable period show but it has its downsides.

S2 is quite a contrast to S1 in terms pacing , character depth and actin More
