[Chinese HR] Loved

my first cdrama

Only watched until ~E52 but was enthralled

Last few eps/ending was not great, show never recovered after The Event, but LOVED otherwise

complicated feelings esp bc of progression/end

disappointing romance esp because of how good it could have been but id die for FL

This obviously hits all the notes and it should’ve been one I’m obsessed with and would rate 10 stars easily.. HOWEVER…it’s possible it’s just because it’s been A Year and my concentration is shot, but my heart wasn’t as in it as it should’ve. I think especially because of how much time it took to warm up and get less tense, even though that resulted in an even better payoff when it finally did. FL is goals, and the cute moments are cute as hell, and I love how much she’s allowed to shine, and it overall has. Great cast of characters which resulted in me shedding tears at least twice. BUT it took me so lon to finish, didn’t super duper care about all the politics / war side of things, and wasn’t as invested by the end. Still a solid drama
