Love the choreography of the fights - one of the best I've seen for war fights
It has a few telling plot twists but the pace was good, character development and back story is relatable. I usually don't write reviews here but I really applaud the choreography of the fight scenes, including the different moves a female has to make to leverage on centrifugal force and kinetic force to counter balance the lack of sheer strength compared to a male. All the different weapons and moves were interesting too and I'm glad they didn't make her also perfect in typical noble lady tasks, unlike other female heroine/general shows where the female is unrealistically perfect. This one shows consistency in character, recklessness, perseverance to get to the level she is at.The chemistry between the two main leads is amazing. The eye contact, expressions, moves, etc were so good, bold and reckless at times, shy and hesitant at others. Definitely one of my favourite female heroine dramas to-date!

I don't know why they always make female characters so dumb, naive, annoying, insensitive, and such a crybaby. Honestly, I got to a point that I liked Little Sun more than Big Sun because she's such a loser at so many points of the story. Overall, it was still a good show but considering the stupid dialogue and her words are so thoughtless that I too would have slapped her. Sadly, I was too annoyed with her weak character that I felt it's a little overrated. Too exaggerated reactions, leaning towards more like Taiwan idol type dramas with the over-dramatic fantasies, screams and tears and whining Was this review helpful to you?

Gaslighting treated as a comedy - Not for me.
I landed on this series only because I filtered for Comedy, Romance, Drama, Netflix... and ended up with only Regret.The comedy is hard to watch. They are broken individuals that may perceive things in a warped manner, but it doesn't call for major gaslighting and that does not help the situation at all. So much manipulation and stemming from self-pity... And they should seek professional help for their issues, not take it out on each other and everyone who cares for them. Even as someone who has experienced first-hand abandonment, I cannot agree to the way the story plays out and I would be horrified if every time I shouted or asked for help, I was left stranded, TIED UP, etc by a mentally unstable ex! I found this to become mildly more to thriller/horror already and decided to drop the series. I hardly write reviews but it just did not sit well with me that this was rated so highly and the genre is miscategorized.
I have to say though - the actors played their roles well. No fault in them at all. In fact, probably because of their brilliant acting, that it got me so riled up in the first place!
