The Feel-Good Part
It tells us briefly about the old historic trade routes which were widely used by China to trade silk to different nations. It is a superb informative drama that has a simple storyline. It shows that keeping the correct values in mind and doing the trade appropriately can boost the economy. It shows significantly how family members of the same family used to conspire to murder their family members for the kingdom. The acting had been done brilliantly, and you will like the drama if you have an interest in history and wars.
The Disappointing Factor
It is similar to those dramas where family member tries to kill each other for the property, and later on, the lead character turns out to be influential, with the help of people, he takes revenge on behalf of the family after a few years. It will not be interesting for you if you do not have much interest in Japanese and Chinese History.
