For traumatized viewers

This drama is a breath of fresh air . I watched it after watching 34 episodes of legend of zang hai and so you can imagine how much rest my brain needed .
This isn’t a review for legend of zang hai so I won’t talk much on it .
This drama was light hearted and very cliche with the marriage contract but I liked it still .
Initially I didn’t want to leave a review or comment but after reading what others wrote I felt the need to write something .

I’ll address the popular complaints first .
“The ml’s acting was stiff”. this is such a ridiculous take . The ml was a general that stayed outside the capital constantly fighting. I don’t know what type of expressions other than what he showed that he was supposed to have . He was soft when necessary and strong willed when necessary as well .

Secondly “the fl can’t act”. I understand that opinion is subjective but seriously guys ?
Her acting was great and she was just fine .

Her reaction after everything that happened to her father was very logical . No matter how calculative you are , when you lose something or someone you love, it’s hard to still be conniving or think straight . So her actions were justified and the ml never left her during that time .

As someone that has been a victim of ctraumas, I really love this series . All the good guys stayed alive. No unnecessary last minute sacrifice. The king was also very smart .
The romance started early too . First kiss scene was in episode 14 . The ml protected the fl several times without fail .

The side characters were cute too although I wasn’t really invested in their relationships . The drama did well by ending it within 30 episodes.

I hope my review is enough to get even one more person to watch this masterpiece of a drama .
Watch it and judge for yourself.

Lastly someone also complained about the marriage not being consummated till episode 27. I mean they gave us several kiss and hug scenes before that that I didn’t even notice .

I may rewatch this drama in future because I really liked the leads.
If you’re tired and need a place to rest, this drama is a place to rest .

Thank you and see you in my next review! :)
