Strong Woman and Handsome General!

I came into this drama casually without any excpectation. I just would like to join my friends watching it.
But Hella...!!
I HAVEN'T BEEN ADDICTED TO ANY DRAMAS LIKE THIS FOR LONG TIME!
Storytelling!
Of course, the way the drama tells a story is very important because it needs to hook the viewers. The pace for this drama is just perfect. The viewers can get into story easily and engaged with the characters. We would just like to know what will happen next, what's been connection with these characters before eyesmet and we would like to see how the story will reveal them.
The Main CP
Its such a cozy heartwarming start which totally won over me. I'm into love stories when a couple care for each other.
Both are very strong. She had to struggle for life, working as butcher to look after her little sister. If she doesn't butcher pigs they might have enough to eat. Its cute how she pray for little pigs to go born as good human before killing them. Our kind female lead could not abandon the random man frozing in snow.
He was injured and physically weak, however even with that we can see whenever he recovered, he can become quite a strong and smart guy. He had plans and stuff. We can all see he fell in love and hesitate to leave. There is this one thing, we viewers can see the two leads are clearly in love. But both of them do not confessed it. Even up to ep23, they haven't confessed it yet. That's frustrating. I am not fond of the fact that male lead didnt tell the truth to female lead of who he is. (I think this is probably because of their different in status? and probably think she may leave if she know who he is. But LOL making her knowing delay will increase her anger for feeling decived) However, their union of smart, strong general and looking normal and cute but also very strong and street smart lady is just my cup of tea.

The Villains
I like how the main crazy villains come in a little later in story. And those baddie in earlier in village are in comparison are much innocent. (That's including the bad mouth gossip granny but for female lead's ex betrothed and his mom, they are good for nothing).
About main villains, or true real grey characters such as Yuan Qing and Qimin and others, the show did well on showing to viewers on how smart but also mad they can be and its probably due to their past trauma.
I give props on how the show make thier vibes to be engaging and interesting.

The Cinematography
This is a winter snow falling theme that ryhme with the bloody war that is happening for me. It gives me the vibe of beautiful but also rough weather. And i also the war scenes between mountains and valleys.

The osts are bit slow for me but not bad.
Im giving the show 10/10 so far. I hope it stays this way to end with good wrap up.
