Pros: Plot and Casting
Overall a good series. Casting was on point, male and female leads have great chemistry making the love story feel genuine. I would have rated the story higher if not for the inconsistent pacing. Some episodes advance events at a crawl while other episodes have 3 major events happening at the same time. The overarching story is fairly well written and kept me invested so I would definitely recommend the show as a whole.

Con: Lack of fight Scenes and Subpar Choreography
The most disappointing part of the show was the limited number of fight scenes and the subpar fight choreography. For a show called "sweet combat" there was actually very little combat shown on screen, mostly just training. Personally, as someone who has done martial arts since childhood, I found the fight choreography be be incredibly underwhelming, mostly just simple I attack you dodge/block 1 step sequences, no extended exchanges or technical depth whatsoever. Particularly underwhelming were the grappling sequences where the lack of technical expertise really showed. Grappling exchanges were unrealistic and oversimplified BJJ submissions with poor/completely incorrect technique. Perhaps I just got my hopes up too high and am being unreasonable but I really expected more out of the fight scenes and fight sequences.

TL;DR
Good overarching plot with solid lead chemistry that keeps you invested. Held back by less than ideal pacing and atrocious fight choreography. Watch it for the love story, not the combat.
