I remember thinking the male lead was incredibly boring when I first watched "Hidden Love"—but in this drama, I actually quite like his portrayal of the Crown Prince.
I had to tell my brain to forget the first episodes where both leads tortured each other bloody. How could a relationship start from that? Well, that is drama logic.

But I do feel like I've seen these "female general" dramas countless times. And why do they always spend half the show seriously injured, disabled, and in need of help? Surprisingly, her arm surgery this time successfully restored her strength. At least, I think she's portrayed one of the better female generals.

I think the biggest problem so far is that the plot has dragged on too long. She spent several episodes questioning her ex-lover about why he wanted to kill her, before finally giving up.

The show also gives us a sneak peek into the internal struggle between the King of Jinxiu Kingdom and his brother—but gets pushed to the back if your mind for a while.

As a result, many of the villains' motivations have become vague or even forgotten (for example, the death of the Prime Minister's son is only briefly mentioned in the first few episodes).
