Love it❤️
I love this drama and would willingly watch it over and over again. I’ve written this review to address some comments.
The story follows an unconventional heroine and it’s not all about her. I love that this drama showcases the ML as a strong individual who willingly works together with the FL to achieve joint goals for the country. I like that the ML and FL are intelligent individuals and the story moved nicely along. It balanced a throughly believable plot of fighting for love of country and personal love. Hence the title.
Victoria Song was good as the FL and Ryan Deng was perfectly cast as the younger ML who had to fight for the FL’s love. Ryan Deng was not under-utilised. I would say Zhang Linghe in Pursuit of Jade was. There is so much fighting scenes and it tells the story of a ML who fell in love at first sight but was also suspicious of the FL’s motives. When the ML finally accepted his infatuation with the FL, he chased her intently. This is all amidst war, political and court affairs.
There is a lot of chemistry from the ML but unfortunately, due to the FL’s past experience and circumstances in which she brought upon herself, it was difficult to acknowledge the ML’s love but once she did, both of them were devoted to each other and nothing could stop their love. I like that. Their love was fraught with challenges which they overcame together.
The supporting cast were all intelligent, helpful and loyal as well. I like how they made good decisions and were not deliberately ‘stupid’ in actions and therefore they needed to overcome their circumstances just to create a storyline.
Overall, I have happily re-watched it three times. Good story line, good plot, good cast. It should receive higher reviews merits.
