I had seen the high reviews of this one and I was a bit skeptical, you know many times in dramaland people would just give high ratings just because of their favorite idols and all. But the high ratings here are very well justified.
What a journey! This is one of the best cdramas I have watched, and I have watched a lot! Reminded me of the quality of Ashes of Love.
This is a drama with no cliches, and I loved every turn and twist. You won't be able to tell what happens next.
It has a lot of funny moments as well as loads of sweetness but get ready to suffer a lot too for the injustices happening to the leads.
A story of love, friendship, loyalty, sacrifice and forgiveness. I actually got emotional a few times and that doesn't happen often!
Loved how the main leads here are always the women, strong main energy characters!! And they are not damaged damsels in distress no, they fight for what they want and think is right and go against everyone standing in their way. Proud to see more and more dramas like this and putting aside archaic gender stereotypical characters where the woman is just a flower pot in the story. LOVED IT.
It was very refreshing to have such detailed and developed secondary stories and subplots, although everything it's connected so you keep watching looking forward to now more about the story and each character. High quality character development here!
The pacing of the show was never slow or too fast and The ending was not rushed at all either.
The only thing that for me was a bit lacking was probably the chemistry between the main and secondary couples, didn't feel it a lot but it's something I could gladly overcome because it was well compensated with the fantastic script and all the emotions showed.
The costumes, makeup, effects and production are exceptional but I need to mention the music specially here in this drama, they have a couple of songs that are more used mostly on key scenes but they are magnificent and I kept looking forward to listen to them, but they also used very good songs in more intense scenes and they created a fantastic atmosphere with the OST ( armies going to battle and so on..)
I recommend this drama to anyone in love with this genre and who is looking for something extraordinary and super entertaining to watch . You will enjoy it!!
