Although the costumes and colors of the film are gorgeous, they are almost all warm and dark colors. The extensive use of Champagne and flesh-colored clothes makes the picture look dim and boring, lacking in brightness, and the lighting of the entire movie is always not bright, even the grass color in the outdoor scene. Not a vibrant green, but rather dim. The use of this color may also be intentional, but as a whole, it makes people feel that the movie can’t be refreshed. It lacks the magnificent momentum and graceful light and pictures in the general costume palace drama. The costume hair style design is also rough and unrenewed. The soundtrack It didn't leave any impression.

Not only do they have an unmatched appearance and no chemical reaction, but also sparks rushing to grab each other in the drama. The effect is very exciting and sensational. But the director's skills lost to the visual stimulation
