great acting by female lead and male lead. horrible ending for the male lead and female lead. male lead sacrificed his life for his country but his country wanted him dead, disowned him. for the ending, he was shot to death and the female lead need to endure the pain of losing her mother, brother, father (imprisoned) and her lover. wth writer, went through roller coaster of emotion, anxiousness watching this drama only to find out that the ending was downright disappointing and painful. at least be gentle and make the hero alive? the write basically killed all hopeful leading characters
