Aside from the love story, I really liked the side characters in the drama. Even with all the flaws shown by the characters, I can't help but accept them as what they are. I really am so convinced with the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, they are also one of the characters that made an impact for me as a watcher.
Though the drama is political in it's aspect, which is usual in a historical drama, I like that it shows the perspective of the common people, though the monarchy is seen, it's not really the main plot of the story which is really a plus for me as a watcher.
The lines/script of the drama is well written, I am in awe. I would not rewatch this for sure since I don't want to cry again.

I'm being super generous.
This is a cohesive review for both parts of the show.This show means business when it comes to tragedy, so watch out!
As some other people have pointed out this show is wayyyy better in the first half. I think the main issue that comes up in ep 10 onwards, is that the story relies on people making dumb choices for drama's sake. Characters that you've gotten to know will dead-ass look at the camera and make the dumbest choices you've ever seen.
Due to that there are a lot of scenes where I'm bored or angry. Not to mention how many coincidences there are to help the characters float along.
Despites the flaws this drama was still incredibly compelling. Every episode moved me or made me physically ill from the stress of watching. I thought the ending was pushing the limits of believability, BUT I was satisfied!
One of the best Korean dramas in YEARS!

A beautiful journey awaits
⚠️⚠️THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS ⚠️⚠️Where do I begin?!
I've heard of this saying (fate is about timing)..this series had me in a chokehold from the 1st episode, it was beautifully written and the brilliant actors was 👌🏾👌🏾
our main couple meet by chance shortly after the FL had had a dream about our ML, and it was love at first sight for our ML(she?..not so much) but that did not deter our ML(even after learning of her crush to someone else) in that time period she was considered (brash,loud mouth, forward) amongst other things. Our couple is then taken on a journey like no other and we get to see them in different stages of the their lives during the war and their timing being off(frustratingly so),
○After losing everything, she was not afraid to work(even though noble-women weren't allowed to)
○She sacrificed her love for Jang Hyeon and chose to stay with her family to take care of her unwell father and young siblings
○She was told he had died which in turn led to her getting married(not before mourning him)
○After that he(ML) finds out she was bought by the princess of the Qing empire (because of her unrequited love for Jand Hyeon)
○He gets Gil chae(FL) out and the Qing princess almost kills him while he was trying to save Gil chae
○Makes Jang Hyeon make Gil chae leave to have him to herself (Qing princess) as a result of not understanding why he'd be willing to die for her
○She goes back, only to find her husband has impregnated another woman(probably thought she was never coming back)
○Her refusing to him and see her struggle
●Despite everything he continued to love her unconditionally
●He fought with her and for her(didn't think twice when she was in danger)
●He risked everything to get her out of slavery(when her husband chose reputation over her)
●As he promised, always finds her(wether in danger or not)
●The way his eyes conveyed what his mouth couldn't
●His hearts refusal to forget her when his mind did
●His unwavering love for her throughout the years
●their sacrifices for other people (captives)
There's a lot I could say regarding these two but it still might not be enough, the emotional roller-coaster one goes through whole watching(laughter, love,tears,anger, angst, frustration) but a beautiful journey one could take.
Let me leave it here

"Do You Hear It?. It Is The Sound Of The Flowers"
What can I say? In my opinion, this is the best drama of the year, perhaps the best in a long time, and undoubtedly the finest historical drama. It's a beautiful, inspirational adult love story with none of the fluffy stuff. The drama takes you on an emotional rollercoaster with many heart-wrenching moments throughout. While it touches on controversial topics, it deals with them beautifully, sparking diverse opinions.The actors, especially the main leads, were phenomenal. The cinematography, fight scenes, and OST were amazing. Sure, you could point out some flaws in the plot, but let's be honest, most dramas have them.
This drama has secured a spot in my all time top ten, a list that I often tweak based on my mood. It joins the likes of "What's Wrong with Secretary Kim," "Itaewon Class," "Fight My Way," "Hometown Cha-Cha," "Flower of Evil," "Touch Your Heart," "Vincenzo," and "Strong Girl Bong-soon."
Honestly, I stumbled upon this drama by accident and didn't know the main leads very well. However, I watched it with an open mind and have no regrets. I found myself completely engrossed, never skipping a moment, even when the storyline got frustrating at times. The drama also boasts scenes that are worth watching over and over again.
I highly recommend it to people who enjoy the melodrama, romance, and sageuk genres. It's a must-watch!

Wow…Masterpiece!!! The best drama ever
Wow what a masterpiece!!!The production and acting is amazing. Namkoong is fenomenal actor and I love his voice. It is the best drama I had ever watched.
I like how EunJin character envolved in the drama and in the end she knew what is in her heart and never stop loving Jang Hyun and finally she started to persue him. It was painfull journey but she never gave up.
It was hard to watch all the intrigue and betrayal of family and friends. Jang Hyun had fallen for her at the first sign and he always protected her even he had to sacrifice himself. I really hate his father and the crazy king just gets on my nerves. I am so glad they got their happy ending and survived all the obstacles on theirs journey.
Of course there is unsolved story how Ryang ended up in prison and we probably will never know unless we have season 2.

E O VENTO NAO LEVOU...
O prota lá na China, salvando os cativos de joseon.. a prota em casa casada com o nojento 🤮 do oficial. Só que ela é raptada e levada como cativa pra China.O nojento acha q a pobre fugiu de novo, a amiga defende ela e o estudioso tbm. O cantor q foi esculachado pelo prota por ter dito q ele morreu, com medo da prota morrer e o prota enlouquecer quando souber, vai atrás dela. Volta pra China e avisa q ela tá lá como cativa.
O prota só fica sabendo disso depois que a pobre sofre… sofre… sofre demais. Ela é a Jong jong foram raptadas.
O marido chega a ir atrás dela, mas quando descobre q ela foi abusada pelos invasores, simplesmente larga ela lá e volta pra casa mentindo q mandou alguém atrás e q foi roubado e não pode pagar o resgate.
A pobre, achava a o marido ia buscar ela. Ela salvou a amiga, salvou o estudioso da cadeia mas ninguém foi lá atrás dela. Só o prota quando soube, ficou louco
(Se prepare pra cena mais linda quando ele a vê no mercado de escravos 😭😭😭😭😭 ) chorei horrores
Daí ele começa a fazer tudo pra salvar ela. Tudo mesmo, inclusive mentir e dizer pra ela ir embora pq a cascavel 🐍 da mulher mascarada quer ela longe dele.
Daí a pobre volta pra joseon
Ele pensa q ela foi acolhida pelo marido. Ela pensa q ele vai ter uma vida melhor sem ela. Os dois sofrem
Ele volta pra joseon, vai atrás dela pra vê se ela tá bem mesmo. Descobre a ela tá só e divorciara. Daí os dois ficam juntos… prepare-se para a melhor cena 🎬 da vida (quando ela diz q foi abusada ) pra ele e ao contrário do nojento 🤮 ele a acolhe.
Tem um monte de coisa, mas no final eles ficam juntos.

Longing for someone.
How sad and how beautiful!I'm speechless. What a wonderful story. It's like, if they are happy, you are happy.
I'm exhausted mentally and emotionally. The whole story was a rollercoaster, you may be laughing and crying without even knowing it.
Sometimes, we as humans take some things for granted, and then our destiny shows us how important those things are. You may think, “Well, I will do it later”, but then you realize that was the only opportunity that you had.
Anyway, nothing is perfect. This story has some inconsistencies with the plot and how the character will react in some situations. The FL has had some growth since the last season, we have to recognize that she is not the same girl, and she has grown beautifully.
I loved the cinematography, music, and acting. I can't complain; this wait was worth it.

Dear Husband…
I’m going to rate this in 2 parts since it has a season 1 & 2.Season 1: 9/10
Season 2: 8/10
Overall, it is a remarkable series with minor inconveniences.
I know this series was based on actual historical events so they didn’t give us the typical good guys conquer all storyline. You’re not going to get the epic political warfare or battle of the wits in the royal court. It was more focused on the fall of Joseon during the Qing’s takeover. You see more of the heartbreaks from the civilians’ eyes. That being said, there were SO many moments I wanted to just scream and punch my pillow out of anger or just cry in anguish.
If you’re here for the romance. Hang tight. It won’t kick in until episode 18. This was THE most chaotic couple in the history of couples. By chaotic, I meant chaos followed them everywhere and every single time. They don’t have a lot peaceful times before shit would hit the fan and off we go running again and again. The ML was one of the most heroic and greenest flag of all green flags. He LOVED the FL with all of his heart, body and soul. The FL .. you’ll have to wait until at least episode 3 to warm up to her but the character development was remarkable. She went from being an arrogant, petty and selfish brat to a strong, independent, wise and courageous woman. Truly magnificent to see her blossom.
Let’s talk crazy. We all know who. Ryang Eum was batshit crazy. He was manipulative, obsessive, possessive and I blame him for the leads’ misfortunes in the first season. Nam Yeon Joon was another crazy mofo. His self proclaimed righteousness under Confucianism blinded him from seeing the actual lack humanity presented in front of him.
The amnesia. Overdone and overused. Wtf. It happened not once but TWICE? EOTAKE?!
The women in this series suffered. A lot. You need to be brave to watch some of it.
Overall, it was a great series and experience to watch. I would not watch it again.

Good Enough
Korean Drama " My Dearest part 2" is the second part of the popular tv series, giving the story a proper ending.The drama is a turbulence of a story, with a melodramatic plot with many twists. However, this time around, they tended to repeat things and plot twists. They also focused too much on the palace politics and deprived screen time from other main side characters, thus, leaving their stories half baked.
Still, the story was enjoyable and the ending just right for the mood of the drama.
The performances, finally, were great by everyone.
So, overall, seven out of ten.

Part 1: ASTOUNDING–Part 2: DRIFTED OFF....
Hands down to the emotional rollercoaster throughout the drama, the actors are stupendous. I'm like so doubtful I even saw emotions through my screen due to the splendid performance from ALL SIDES. Each character had their moments, each actor/actress, whether good or bad, all had their moments of splendor and disgust, which is what makes them all SO. MUCH. MORE. REAL. Unpopular opinion, I personally LOVE the Qing Princess character for being the most complex and well misunderstood/understood character. Her character has the equivalent complexity as the male lead which I find is a great accomplishment to the storyline. I wish script writer would add more characters like hers, it just makes a cliche storyline so much more intriguing and with more plot twists––better yet make a character like her the main character, aka strong FL (omg I would so watch that!).However, I have to say, with the extremely high expectations from Part 1, Part 2 definitely drifted off. Although not as believable, was still enjoyable to watch. There were points there I find were a bit incredulous, and some things didn't quite make sense or they didn't quite round it off, especially with the character Ryang Eum, but overall the performance of each character was what ultimately made this drama an enjoyable ride.
