I initially started this cause I saw a clip of the main leads first meeting and was intrigued. I haven’t watched any historical cdramas before so this was my first and I throughly enjoyed it! The plot wasn’t too invested into politics and focused on romance so it wasn’t too heavy but also it wasn’t super light so it was a perfect balance in my opinion. Main girl did get irrational at times but it was easy to gloss over and made her character more realistic rather than just perfect. I adored the main guy so much his transition from a cold general to a man who cared deeply for his wife was so so cute and even after the main couple got together their chemistry was still great! I loved the little special scenes they added at the end of every episode and was so pleasantly surprised that the last one was a take on them meeting in modern day! Caesar wu was so cute and acted well as well as the rest of the cast. At first I really didn’t know what to think of the emperor, however, he turned out to be a great character and I loved his character arc. Also the ninth prince’s son becoming emperor alongside the girl who saved him was so cute and she truly made a good empress so I was super pleased with that. The background music was also spectacular and fit the moods so well so applause to the music team as well :) Overall, this was a cute historical drama that’s not too long and not too political heavy that you can easily get into!
