Cast

Reception

The series was poorly received in Taiwan and in other countries because Richie Ren and Jackyln Wu were seen to be poor choices as the leads. Some "innovations" were also widely criticised (Wu wears a black cloak instead of ethereal white as in the book). The series has also received negative criticism about not being faithful to the original story.
