Better than expected

I previously dropped this series because the type of costuming just isn't my style for historical settings - especially the long stringy bangs. But after having been able to complete Blood River, I decided to try this one again and I'm glad I did.

While this style of series isn't usually my cup of tea, the characters were pretty charismatic. The cast does have a mixed bag of acting skills but it manages to work out as a blend. The plot flow lagged in some areas but it picks up the pace and keeps up pace until the end. There are plot holes but at least they attempt to explain them. And while it isn't the most unique story-line with too many convenient events, it's still an good one to try if you enjoy watching a group of loyal friends who banter together, fight together, and grow together.

One flaw that was the least acceptable was that there was zero chemistry between the ML and his love interest. But thankfully, romance scenes are kept at a minimum. And while there are plenty of corny moments as usual with this series style, there were also some really well done scenes that had me rewind just to watch again. So while this doesn't land on the higher end of my watch-list, it is a memorable one and it blessed me with many smiles and laughs.
