A bingeable cotton candy drama

This is perfect for those who just want to satisfy their craving for something sweet and don't want to think much. It's short too, only a total of approx 8 hrs compared to other cdramas.

It has a simple but interesting plot. The gutsy FL who was not eager to marry anyone met two interesting men on different occasions. After the encounters, she received a marriage order from the king. Not wanting the marriage, she ran away on the day of the wedding intending to divorce the husband she had never seen. You know it was one of the two men but the husband mystery remained until the middle of the drama. I liked that her husband actually pursued her instead of forcing her to honor the marriage.

The ML and SML are literally equal in everything. Both are generals, good-looking, good at kungfu, have good personalities and can sacrifice for the FL. It was a good choice to cast Fang Tong as the FL. I've seen her in 'Heart of Loyalty' and her arc saved that drama for me. In this drama, her chemistry with the ML and SML made the reverse harem setup believable. Her wide-eyed look made her appreciation of their *ahem* virtues feel like innocent curiosity. In case you misinterpret, she never played the two men against each other and treated both sincerely. When she knew who she liked, she was committed to him and yeah there were clues on who she actually liked peppered throughout the series.

I will definitely rewatch for a quick shot of sweetness.
