I had watched one episode so far.

Not bad at all. The costumes are ornate and the young girl, very very pretty.

I think I really am 老土, because I like period dramas.

It is a bit similar to 大长今. Strong women using their prodigies ( inevitably orphans or from broken families ) to perpetuate their wealth and power, and the complicated relationships pass onto the next generations.

I say, 看开点吧
