I just finished this drama. The acting isn't great, some characters were better but at least the mc's were good. There wasn't any kissing or anything but you know there is chemistry and they know it too. Music is on point and is a bl but because its China, my fellow bl watchers will know what that means, hence, there isn't any physical stuff but the emotion is there.
The plot is okay, if you watch 'the untamed', this is similar to that but is lacking in some areas where 'the untamed' excels. I don't hate it and i don't love it, its more over eh. I liked it i guess but i wish there was more interaction between tao mo and gu she so yeah. Its not long so its definitely worth a watch if you need a bl to watch cause we all know that the bl world is lacking in the action genre. We seriously need ore of the HIStory 3: Trapped type shows or even like 'long time no see', the only Korean bl that actually is good.

Quick spoiler:


They get married, though its not stated explicitly. Its heavily implied with the red and the ending quote at episode 12. "How can you marry one person with just a cinnabar banquet?"
The characters wipe each others tears and their servants are crying as they watch. Gu She and Tao Mo come down together in red. Us bl watchers (especially in Chinese bl) must rely on these hints so that we can know what they are trying to tell us without actually saying it.
