One of my favorites

Ok, first of all- there’s eye candy everywhere! I am really enjoying that part. Ml is fantastic and I’m highly impressed with his ability to jump between his different roles. (Even more so when said jumping involves losing his shirt, but still.) Side characters are also very easy to watch. Fl is cute, intelligent and kind. It seems really difficult to find shows where the fl is so well balanced, but this show does it well. The actress is a little too delicate to convincingly portray a bad ass general, but at least she’s not hyperextending her arms every time she tries to pick up a sword. Overall, she does well. Chemistry with the ml is on point. 🔥
The side characters are great, they add a lot to the show. Love the 2nd in command and the female doctor. The newly introduced coachman and the strong woman look promising, as well. Again- lots of eye candy! But also entertaining and they add some fun to the story. It’s interesting to see that both kingdoms are being led by someone evil or incompetent. Probably an indication they’ll be replaced by our more beloved main characters.
I like that’s it’s a different story line instead of one that’s been done 10 times in the past couple of years. And I love the action scenes where he has his super powers. That’s not usually a draw for me on these shows, but I have been enthralled by them here. Both the actor and the special effects are amazing. The incredible music may play a big role in that. Did I mention the music? Absolutely phenomenal!
I’m hooked and hope it continues to play as well as it has started.

Update: I’ve finished it and I’m in awe. I won’t give anything away, but have tissues at the end - for laughter and pain. It took me on a rollercoaster ride through all of my emotions. The ending was so awesome! This is now included in my favorite series of all time. Love the way all of the guys grew into such lovable, protective and endearing men. I really don’t know why the rating isn’t higher. This was done so very well.
