Very beautiful tragic story

Oh how i love beautiful story where both know that the other person loves them so much without explicitly confessing to each other.. love which is not shown by affectionate words but shown by actions and their eyes speak louder than words that people surrounding feel it too.

What i liked
1.All characters and actors did a great job. ML and FL had such great chemistry without much physical affection.
2.ML character sticking to his traits till the end. He is not perfect. he could have done more for the palace and for himself instead of running away from it. But still he knows he is good at fighting and leading soldiers that way protecting people and does not waver from that responsibility. He is kind and cares for everyone around him. His love for FL you can see in his eyes.
I have seen too many shows where ML forgets his responsibility once he falls for FL and just shuns it at the end. For once i see ML decides to let go of his love for larger good. People might think he is spineless but that requires more guts than leaving his responsibility and run away. And Kudos to Allen for portraying a dignified person perfectly. I have seen so many actors who are either cold with arrogant face and then so soft as if the whole character changed but Allen shows just right amount of emotions required. Even small gestures are so in line with his character.
3. I loved FL character too although most people (Viki comments were filled with it ) thought she is useless.But considering the times where the story set in i found her character close to reality. I love rebellious FL once in a while in historic shows but able to fight with swords is not the only way of being brave or having strength. She was also kind and brave in her own way. If people are timid it doesnt mean they are useless!!
4. Ending I can say i am in peace with ending bcs they both die. I am fine if both die but i cannot handle if one of them have to live or one of them gets married to someone else and suffers. Atleast they both found peace together we can say.

What could be better
Show more on what exactly she learnt from her master. it was never clearly shown. she definitely didnt learn war tactics or fighting. Just mention of music and painting. If only they showed that equation between ML and FL it would resonate more with viewers
Some of the places it looked like some scenes were disconnected as such. Screenplay could have been better .
And Sheer injustice ML and FL till the end of their life. Justice was never served to them even if they united lifetimes after but thats LIFE so not much complain there
