A Surprisingly Addictive Watch!
If you go into this drama with no expectations, you’re in for a treat! It kicks off strong by introducing the main characters right away—no dragging things out. The hot spring fight scene was a standout for me—so entertaining! I only wish there were more scenes like that.
One thing I really appreciated was that the male lead discovers the female lead’s true identity early on. I’m so over dramas where the ML is confused for half the show about why he's drawn to a "guy"—that trope is played out. Here, the secret identity angle unfolds at a great pace, and it's satisfying to watch her slowly reclaim her position as a general while he quietly supports her behind the scenes.
That said, I was a bit frustrated that the ML couldn’t recognize that the “general” at court was a fake. Seriously—he's known the real general’s build and voice for years! That part didn’t sit well with me.
Still, the sword dance scene? *Incredible.* I’m absolutely hooked and counting down the days for each new episode!
