was gonna not watch this drama because of how terrible it sounded in the comments lol but i’m so glad i went through with it. such a cute, smooth sailing drama! i am so such a sucker for ‘hard faced on the battlefield but soft in their wife’s arms’ military generals. fantastic chemistry between TM and Caesar. Caesar has truly grown since Meteor Garden (and he looks so freaking good in costume). will anticipate both their future projects (incl. s2 of this drama hehe). the FL was not as bad as i thought she’d be, i’m glad she had such a personality and stood her ground on things. it’s rare to have a charismatic FL who isn’t swallowed up by the society women lived in in that time. the story as a whole was entertaining and i enjoyed how quickly misunderstandings were solved!

knocked off 2 points because of the ending. i can see why they did that (to set it up for season 2) but also. not a fan. i’ll put the details in a spoiler.

overall, defo worth a watch!! don’t get put off by the comments. you’re in for a treat full of fluffy romance and kisses <3
