Was really good for most of it.

I liked it a lot. The production was good, filmography and acting was amazing, the story from the start was pretty good. But i couldn't finish it. I tried really hard to finish it but couldn't. I would say, till the mid or if try really hard, then a little more than half of the story was very captivation, i was really getting into their love and also the action scenes in between, but then somehow the romance got carried away and it seemed like i have all of a sudden started to watch another action drama, all the tension between the lead characters got away and it seemed like they were trying hard to be relevant, there fights didn't make me feel much (but the filmography and direction as great!!). I wanted to feel their love and compassion but I started to rush through the episodes. I skipped more than i watched for a couple of episodes but at the end gave up all together. But then; i thought maybe I am just expecting too much and what if it get's better so i gave it another try and was able to watch till the episode where he says "kiss me". It was a good one. but that as it. couldn't watch more.

Tbh, I wanted to watch this show for a long time and the reason being the actors, production & STORY. We don't get to see these kind of story with this great production as we saw in the trailer. We do get to watch many historical dramas, but where the story hits different because it's displayed in such a way with the actors that look great, the atmosphere created that captivates one's eyes and is consistent throughout, the story delivers what kind of story i was longing for- it being able to fill the void that other dramas of the same category couldn't for a long time, i am able to feel the tension, the romance that the characters are feeling, where i am anticipated for what's going to happen next... Yeah, so these kind of dramas are very few. These kind of dramas are the one's that i am able to finish. So, i expected the same from this one. Unfortunately was dissatisfied from the last few episodes. But I was able to experience the above feeling for the most of it

Hence, most of the story was great, they curated the characters super well, the costumes were great, the visuals were awesome, the songs were moving, the acting was awesome, production as great, the filmography, angles of shots were great, the set looked soooo good-was very dreamy and not fake. It's just that the part that hangs everything together, i.e, the story started to feel less interesting as the story progressed after about 50% of the show, so i couldn't watch it anymore.
That's it :)
