An historical fantasy with more flesh than hearts

There is a lot of good in this drama, unfortunately is is overshadowed by a lot of boredom and things that just do not make any sense, att all making me wonder if this is more fantasy than an historical-

While the enemies to lovers is done pretty well and there are some sweet characters as well as pretty moments. The over all feel to this is:

WTF? But also and oh come on writers you can do better than this, and oh so boring... before it finally got interesting towards the end as it picked up some pace.

The amount of times the line "We used to be like brothers" is said would make for a deadly drinking game, but also kind of looses its meaning in the traditional sense as brotherhood really does not equal any type of love in this drama and is in now way a guarantee for not plotting to kill each other be it biological or circumstantial bonds.

No one in this seems to understand the notion of consequences to ones actions and the lack of letting others speak to point or actually listening to the other is astonishing.

Oh father I never thought you would be affected by me plotting treason, with the enemy because clearly at the time family didn't matter for that stuff? There is also this I love you come back to me...You were my best friend how did we end up like this... Well Im no expert but trying to kill your lover, your best friend, brother, sister, mother, mentor and all they ever loved kind of puts a strain on a relationship...

The romantic twists are oh so predictable and I do believe we got to see an historical version of early 2000 toxic male leads in one of the side couples. "no one has ever talked to me like that...."

"I have never seen a woman as stupid as you" - is probably the most honest line and only honest line in the whole drama speaking the minds of the viewers.

Other lovely moments include: I have experienced 30 seconds of kindness from this man, now I shall throw away all the bonds I ever had with my family, the kingdom I grew up in and follow him blindly in to enemy territory.... Because I love him so...


The way some people die from bearely being touched by a sward while others have super flesh that can flash heal from pretty much any wound is nothing short of a 1000 miracles. No matter where the sward or arrow hit the leads of this drama will survive... As long as they know how to love you know they will be alive.
