This drama is a ROMANTIC COMEDY with some action & schemes/secrets. If you're expecting a serious dramatic love story or serious military heavy drama, this ain't it. The love between the FL & ML was deep, but more on the light hearted fun side. It also shows that they're just like other regular couples irl. Not just the "mature" types that many historical dramas portray.

I noticed a lot of ppl rag on the FL character, but I love her. She's suppsoed be a playful teenager who's been cast aside, bullied, & neglected by half of her family. They basically didn't care if she played w/ the "lower class" growing up & was forced into becoming a childbride to a rumored "devil general" just to protect her mom.
Many viewers love him more cuz he's more disciplined & mature than her, but u gotta remember his character is a few yrs older than her & he grew up in a very disciplined environment compared to her.
What viewers tend to forget is that they're BOTH stubborn & petty. He's just more passive aggressive about it while she's more aggressive & wear it on her sleeve more about it.

Tang Min & Caesar Wu did an amazing playing their roles. Their chemistry is what makes me rewatch this drama so many times. Thank u casting director for putting these 2 together cuz the wrong actor/actress woulda made all those beautiful love scenes cringy af.
