If You Haven’t Watched “Blossoms of Power” Yet, You’re Missing Out
The best part of drama is its Cinematography! Absolutely stunning.If you want less politics and more of sweet romance, this is the one.
The ending was rushed and disappointed me. But just because how visually beautiful and light hearted the story was, I'll let it go.
I have more ranting here:

Mediocre Script + Incredible Chemistry, Cinematography & OSTs
I am convinced this drama is 100% Wattpad coded. A male lead who would forgive literally anything for the girl he loves.My overall thoughts after finishing the drama: Mediocre screenplay (really questionable plots) saved by incredible chemistry, beautiful cinematography and phenomenal OSTs. Yep, these three worked overtime.

Falling Into This Drama! LOL!
Before Anything Else… Yes! You should watch it! It is a very funny, light hearted, adorable and fluffy drama. There is no hatred, scheming, villain, annoying plots or fall outs. It is simply a cheerful drama with strong sense of friendship, hard work, bromance and of course, romance. It can be cringe sometimes but mostly, it is cheerful than anything else.The Only Weird Part — Korean Speaking
They show that the ML is fluent in Korean language, and there are also many times when he is having conversation with Korean esports players (unfortunately, even they are Chinese actors lol). But as someone who has learned Korean and watched hundreds of kdramas, their Korean conversations were very weird, awkward, and unnatural. The accent did not satisfy at all. Somehow, because it was bad, it felt lowkey funny.

Should you watch it? YES!
The drama is just fun (like chaotic comedy, though not stomach twisting comedy) and then it gets thrilling. There is good amount of fun every now and then, I didn’t find a single boring episode. Once fun part progresses, the thrilling war/fight starts, people fall apart, some die, and in the end they succeed in protecting each other. I have to say, by the end, you’ll have the patriotic energy surging in you.=> This is one of the first drama I have seen where the production team actually put an effort to show Female Lead disguised as a man convincing. Like YES!!!! I love it!!! This is how it is done.
=> Planning to watch this drama? Then try to take it slow, maybe like 1–2 episodes per day. This isn’t a drama you can binge watch in couple days. So, take your time and enjoy it. It has a lot of fun moments and I think watching such a drama for a long time will definitely bring you daily-joy.
=> The Chemistry of Main Leads
Initially, ML and FL have a hate-love relationship. They keep bickering and fighting. They are so chaotic and it is very fun. And they find comfort and friendship in this chaotic relationship they have. Later this chaotic friendship turns into love between two people who are busy protecting their nation and loved ones.
If you want romance, no, this is not a romance drama. Of course there is romantic story building as a by product. But the max you’ll get is a hug. There is no kiss scenes in this drama.
