Peak enemies-to-lovers slow burn
Ooooh. I am so happy I watched this beautiful show.
This is exactly what I want from my enemies-to-lovers slow burns — two characters who are each intelligent, independent, and strong — are actually, like, "I will murder your entire family" enemies. I found the entire romantic development SO satisfying, and the chemistry was great throughout all stages of their relationship.
The plot was pretty good as well, intertwining stories of politics and wars with conflict, both internally and with each other.
My only comment would probably be that the final battle — particularly the confrontation between the ML and main antagonist, played out quite fast. In fact, the female lead wasn't really involved in the final conflict at all, and while it was okay to see storylines alternate focuses in previous arcs, I think the final arc needed both of them.
Otherwise, amazing romance and so memorable. This one is going to put me in a historical mood for quite a while, because the high stakes just hit so different.
