The visuals are definitely a very big advantage here especially because it's a long 40 episode drama so there has to be something on screen that people can focus on. I realized the cinematography is good and those Qipao dresses, the wavy silky hairstyles keeps us reminding of that era. Anyone looking for light weight fluffy stuff, just run away. Many things annoy you to death here but the story will be left with nothing without them. Once I got attached to the characters and started understanding the story… what was waiting for me next door was hate, anger and frustration. The deeds of the main villain is a total MESS. It's quite fun to watch but not too much intriguing for your brain either. The plot twists are really strange but unpredictable too. So maybe some people could get bored of it, though that's a genre I enjoy… Their are many complicated family feuds (trust me MANY)… they show us struggles for freedom and dreams too. Their is a revenge story going on but they also want to show the viewers about Opium consumption and it's ill effects on health and life… All the ways to trick each other are mainly related to Business stuff. Talking about the plot, the overall conspiracy stuff is a mixture. A story full of love-hate and a never ending mess I love Republican Era settings and this even has Jing Tian, only the sight of Jing Tian dressed up in that style was enough to get me on for this.
