definitely worth watching!!!

if you are looking for a drama full of beautiful dresses, kingdoms at war and a love blooming despite the odds look no further.

plot: two reigns on opposite sides because of a previous betrayal decide to set aside their disagreement and merge into a peaceful family...or so we though.

our FL is given out as wife to a rival kingdom in order to smooth out their previous tumultuous past, but not everyone in the new family is so willing to put aside the past, especially her new to be husbands.

the FL and the ml throughout the drama go from opposite sides to solid couple willing to fight for the right cause and their marriage.

the central plot of the story revolves around the marriage but mostly the rivalry between all the kingdoms on this lands.

court intrigues, betrayal, love, family boundaries are all fundamental pieces of this drama and they are fleshed out pretty well.

the story is engaging, the pace is very good, you never get bored.... almost

while the love story is engaging and the fights between reigns are exacting not all plot lines are equally engaging.

towards the middle part we get a couple of sloppy episodes about a unrequired love by one of the male characters.
I have to admit this is the only part I didn't quite like but it gets over pretty fast.

another complaint I have for the finale.
it feels Rushed... but not in the sense that something is missing from the plot, but I think that they should have add a couple more episodes.

we don't get to experience the hopelessness we are supposed to feel cause the battle end too quickly.

I feel the production was late and it is quite a pity.
the battle scenes and fighting choreography are quite good along the drama.
I would have loved to see more of the final battles which were cut really short.

at the end they all get what they deserve (good and bad people) so you will not be unsatisfied.

the actors are top notch and the drama itself is beautiful to watch.
