I really enjoyed this show and found it new and exciting as it was the first time I had watched a show like this. I have watched it several times, I rate it high because I can watch it over again and still laugh and feel the feelings.

I liked the characters and found the chemistry between the leads enticing ... but ...........

I'm so tired of watching shows that portray young ladies like this. Abuse and swoon, Abuse and swoon. It's actually beyond a joke. He ties her up after marrying her while she was unconscious, threatens to sexually abuse her if she does not do what she is told, ties her up again and threatens to shoot her with an arrow, threatens her more, drags her to the dungeon where he threatens to torture her, ripping her clothing and leaving her bare in front of all the other stupid male officers, but, like all the other hundreds of dramas like this, she swoons and falls in love with this kind and heroic man. ..... and I am only on EP 5 but I have seen it before, I must have been out of my mind to have finished it the first time.

Wow and not a good wow

Just finished Ep 2 and I am struggling. I will rewatch a show I love instead. Maybe I will come back to this. I have watched and enjoyed hundreds of shows, but I am stuck on these. Maybe I will finish them. Some I just can't watch at all, like ... Story of Pearl Girl.

I am actually finding it difficult to find shows that hold my interest, so I have been re-watching many shows. I have been home bound for 3 or so years, so I have seen hundreds of Cdramas and the occasional Kdrama. The one thing I hate about some shows is that frustrating aspect that they always seem to shove in there. I found this one did not really have that. It was the same for FOF and maybe a few others, and that is why I go back to re-watch them. If I start a show and I find it is hard to watch, I have (let me count my open tabs) 17 shows that I had to stop watching and will try very hard to push through them, one at a time. I normally go back and watch my favs to give me some respite from the poorly executed shows that lay listless in my tabs. This one I not only finished but liked.

I actually liked this one. Even if it was very heart wrenching at times. I liked the ending. It was happy but for some reason I still felt sad which kind of fits the show. Makes me want to re-watch Fangs of Fortune ... I just finished my 20 plus watch the other day. I think the second watch of this show will be even better as I know the plot and can prepare for the heart ache. Not as visually stunning or epic as Fangs of Fortune, but it is not too far behind.

Maybe it is just me, but I found the FL to be immature, manipulative, and controlling. I am only on Ep. 17 and it is a bit boring, but the ML keeps me interested as his character is interesting.
