Started with a bang... but ...
I usually don't write reviews. But with the kind of hype this drama has been getting I am forced to write a review that could be entirely my opinion. But here is my honest take on this series.It started with an absolute bang.. the first 10-12 episodes were amazing. Even with the "bad boy" character sketch for the ML, he was the most interesting in the series. FL from the beginning was all show but no spark. I think part of the fault is the writer's character sketch of the FL. She wasn't anything great.. in any aspect. Her character is neither too strong, not too weak, she is neither madly in love.. nor does she hates with a vengence.. everything about her is lukewarm. The actress did exactly that. She didn't add anything extra to the character that was written which is a pity, because the ML in comparison was charming even when he was in his worst possible character.
The other thing that put me off, was the back and forth transition of the leads falling in and out of love.. (i mean the ML was always in love)..again it is the FL who was never sure what she really wanted. She was either landing in trouble which will warrant the ML to come and help her, but then she show lukewarm appreciation.. I think the flaw was in her character writing.
And like others said.. the side characters added a good value to the story, but their character was not followed through till the end. Excpet for the FL, everyone else did their part well. I think the FL need more experience.
Some of the story felt repetitive which was frustrating by the time we reach episode 25. In the end, I literally skimmed through the last 10 episodes to see what finally happened to the leads..and the others.
I would say this could be a one time watch, if you have the patience to go back and forth in the story line and if you absolutely love history and war stories. Rewatch value.. none for me! May be just the love/lust scenes between the leads..that was electrifying! :D

Falls short in every aspect of the story - plot, romance, comedy, feel good moments..
This may not be a popular review, however, after watching episode 10, I have come a conclusion that I cannot go on with this any further. It is already depressing to see the second lead (the really good guy) being cheated by his friend and later, I am pretty sure by the girl friend too since he is the Second Lead.The Main male lead is almost as nasty as a villain of a story should be. He is selfish, full of himself, arrogant, rude and egoistic and worst is stabs his friend on the back.. that friend who was there for him and was ready support him, always. How can any viewer who love romance can fall in love with this guy??
The female lead is unsure about herself and so she decides to give it a try with the SL .. seriously.. what happens when you decide you want to go back to crush? Not a feel good moment for romance lovers like me.
The comedy aspect? Hardly any.. I was more stressed watching the episodes thinking how hurt the second lead is going to be.. someone said.. until episode 6 it is slow.. damn right.. it was slow even at episode 10. So I am giving up!
No offence to anyone who liked the story/series. This is entirely my personal opinion.

Funny and thrilling at the same time
I just finished watching it and I must say it was a very interesting and funny at the same time. It is quite funny, that's the first thing I would say. It is also a thriller because there are lot of instances when you are wondering how the hero is going to end up. However, every time there is a situation for which you are biting your nail, it would have a fabulous comic end and that will have you laughing. That's the best part of this series.The main lead is fabulous in his role. He is an absolutely delight to watch .. the expressions that changes from being a killer to a pitiable guy is hilarious .
Do watch if you haven't already.
