Also makes us question, "was it worth the sacrifice for revenge?".
It's also not exactly linear. like how faithful does lot flashback to previous and then to present. the scenes arrangement here feels that way sometimes.
Complex story of innocence and revenge. How tragedy affects even those who stay at home. War and Officialdom. Cause and effect on people. Love story mixed in between.
Both are costume dramas about female led revenge. Intricate plots, cunning women, elusive and cold but supportive male leads, and both plots have involvement from royalty to some degree.
Neither drama focuses on romance and instead is excellent at weaving the story through each plot.
Women empowerment. Women were treated inferior by men, they finally step out of the box, seek revenge, feel proud of selves, build confidence and unity
Women supporting each other, they faces many challenges. They gather themselves, they support each other, they shown men they are not weak, they are smart and they can make money and survive without depend on men.
