I enjoyed this drama a lot because of the story line but it was lacking in many ways. I wish the directors had put the extra effort to refine the script which was lacking at many places.

Politics: They didn't dwell into this aspect at all even though it was one of the most important aspect. Everything was happening for political power. Rather they dwelled into Good & Evil. Which was ridiculous at times considering the empire was doing nothing to those people if they were really evil just because they are from Martial Arts world. The dynasty got changed but the old empire Army was still fighting for the empire under the new emperor ( this is completely ridiculous)

Secondary Characters: The FL going on campaigns was understandable. However the other two SFL were unimportant. They only got in the way. However they always accompanied the group. It would have been better if they were given some fighting power or kept them out completely. They became scene filler making the drama uninteresting.

Consistency: Throughout the journey the drama was very inconsistent. The characters smartness and strength were changed according to the requirement of the scene. For Eg: The SML was supposed to be smart and clever but I never felt that side of him except for the few episodes where it got mentioned.

Romance: Even though it was not the important aspect of drama but Considering the amount of time they spent on the Main Leads flirting, it felt very lacking. At times I would even doubt whether they actually love each other. The passion was just lacking.
