Mature dignified couple making their way into good future together - a decent watch for VD
I love when couples openly communicate, trust each other and have a bit of the light/teasing moments and this VD gave me such vibe. The story is not new and predictable (unconsummated marriage of the first son who "dies" on the battlefield leaving his family in distress and his "wife" working her heart out to provide for everybody for 10 years incl. supporting 2nd son who becomes the family pillar and his sister-in-law's admirer - with reciprocation!), but the characters of the leads and their relationship is so heartwarming that you will not be sorry to spend almost 2 hours on this. Mind you, this is not a grand storytelling, but a character/dialogue driven script, so you will watch mostly verbal exchanges and little gestures rather than breath-taking scenery, interiors or costumes/decor. And yet, it is a darn good watch.I loved the integrity of the ML, his loyalty and adoration for sister-in-law turned beloved. I loved the FL as the dignified, skilled and mature woman. I enjoyed how they loved one another and defied the slimy first son and his seething flame in a steady and unperturbed manner. I even liked the matron of the mansion - even though her morals were dubious. Altogether, even if there were little steamy romance and intimacy shown, this was oddly satisfying, and I wish I knew who the actors were because I would love to watch them elsewhere.
Alas, the version I watched was on YT with the OST missing so that took a lot from the entertaining value, but hey, since I am on VD spree these days this could have been doused with bits of music stolen from other dramas, which would have made it tacky. As it stood with very little music - it was one of those micro dramas that made me feel all fuzzy and warm inside.
True, there are some nonsensical parts here (how can a female general not know self-defense and how can a wife in the manor defy openly her spouse, the master of the family?) but what do we expect of 75 2-minute episodes?
