A complete drama, full of adventure with healthy relationships.

A historical drama that stands out for its positivity.

Far from the political intrigues, the shenanigans of the court and the blackness / madness of the human soul in harems that we often see in period dramas, this drama is a breath of fresh air. Both very modern in its characters (we are presented with strong female personalities as well as respectful and equal couples) but also very positive in its speech. Even if the subject is serious and we cry often, the tone is never defeatist or pessimistic. It's just about showing us the realities of war and life.

It is a drama where different human relationships are highlighted. We are shown that courage can reside anywhere, that friendship, family, kindness can triumph over cruelty.
We are caught in a roller coaster of emotions. The adventures are breathtaking without dragging too long.
The production is also incredible. Everything is shot in real settings which gives beautiful panoramas.

If you like adventures, wars, strategy, character progression, healthy romances, this drama is for you!
If you enjoy :
- a FL who doesn't lose all personality & independence once in a relationship;
- seeing different types of women without one kind being degraded;
- MLs who don't subdue the woman they love, don't want to rule her, are not possessive and toxic in their "love";
- positive and interesting human relationships (family, friends and love);
- drama that evolves and makes us live full of adventure;
- finish a drama without wondering if the writers have abandoned along the way;
go watch it!
