Lacking in so many ways unfortunately
Great lead actors and we were all excited since the princess royal but this wasn’t the best next script for them. I understand the director would have wanted the storyline told in a slow way though it lacked depth, emotions, direction and a hook to keep audiences interested. The story itself was extremely weak, some dramas may drag a little but at least the characters lines give us some insight or emotion to make it feel like the viewers didn’t waste their time. This drama gave nothing. Which also baffles me. There could have been many ways to project the importance of a relationship or friendships overtime without soooo many scenes dragging endlessly without meaning to them. It took me several months to finally push through this drama and I ended up forwarding so much just to get it off my list. Huge disappointment. Goes to the bottom of my list. I hope these two actors get to work together with a better script in the future.Was this review helpful to you?
My favourite drama!
My most favourite drama of all time! Living out hidden identities waiting for them to each find out who they truly are, this dramas main characters sweep you in! If you’re looking for mysterious, captivating, warrior, battle it out no matter what and heartwarming love story that touches your core with between two leads - this is it.Lead Characters:
I’ve seen the FL in a few dramas before and it was really refreshing to see her in this mature and stronger warrior role. She nailed it! I loved every part of her role, from her attitude, character, costume and lines.
The chemistry between the two main leads is beautifully built up and unfolds wonderfully. Unlike other dramas where it’s so abrupt when did they start liking each other and suddenly the feud ends. Here the storyline and characters relationship blooms so naturally that’s what makes it special to keep watching. It’s so nice to see this healthy loving relationship projected where they stand by each other for who they are. It’s enjoyable because they are constantly against each other and weary of each other’s intentions at first. Both with hidden identities, you cannot but love them!
Battles:
The fight and battle scenes are super incredible and on a grand scale. Superbly directed, delivered and projected. I loved seeing the FL hold and lead them. She’s so spontaneous and direct whereas the ML is strategic and the planner. There’s great built up suspense around who the mastermind behind the wars and chaos and to the degree to what lengths each character will go to rule the world.
Heart touching moments:
There were so many heart touching moments that stood out throughout the drama especially between the main leads. Their acting was top notch! Great delivery. You could see it in their eyes, tears and expressions that make you love them even more. Both of their crying scenes are wow - you will be moved.
Great storytelling:
What I love the most is each character is easily defined and portrayed without having to go into heavy lengths of background scenes to explain why they are as they as. This shows a great director and it’s storytelling.
Not only are the main leads easy for the audience to connect with but we also gain depths to the supporting characters without taking away much screen time from the main leads.
Though I would’ve liked to see the FL identity be revealed better as there was so much build up.
I’ve watched this a number of times now and it only gets sweeter watching these two strong lead characters. Superb performance and drama I’m so glad to have it on Netflix.

So funny and too good!
The first few minutes were confusing and I thought this is going to be a long complicated drama trying to figure out all the character names, but as I got watching it turned out to be seriously good! And incredibly funny - there were loads of moments where I couldn’t stop laughing! I didn’t expect it to be this good!The leads actors not only did their roles justice but I feel went up and beyond. They were perfect for the roles and made the drama enjoyable and entertaining to watch.
Great unique storyline and execution! It’s one of my top favourite Cdramas.

If you got to re-live your life what would you do?
Loved this drama! Had the suspense, sweet moments and a great cast. I loved the storyline of their adult selves being in their younger bodies knowing what the future holds - and the excitement starts as to who’s going to change it first and in whose favour. You don’t know who the true villain is either and it keeps you guessing each character.The main leads did a great job as a married couple always as odds with each other but deep down they truly wanted their marriage to work.
Well worth the watch and I’ve rewatched it three times!

A must watch - absolutely captivating!
Brilliantly executed and delivered by the director, editing, storytelling, script and actors. Every aspect of this drama was top notch! It will get you thinking how good can a Cdrama get. Congrats to the team.If you want a thrilling, suspense, mysterious love story that has you binge watching nonstop then this is it. The episodes go by so fast - that’s how great the storytelling is. What also gave this drama an edge was the direction of the camera shots for the main leads, it brought the scene more to life, made it intimate and brought the audience in. The lead actors did an amazing job. I have to give it to the director and the vision for capturing subtle moments from costumes movements to glances that adds to the scenes depth without having to explain through extra lines. Simply captivating.
I’ve watched this drama four times now. It’s one of my favourites. Sure enough it will be on your fav list too, you won’t be disappointed.
