Angers my post-feminist sensibilities - so it's doing a good job
Though the story has potential but terrible character development - especially for second leads who get too much screen time. This is probably the downfall of this drama.Contrary to popular belief, SFL is actually one of those manipulative and righteous people who end up being a burden on those around them. She moans about her shortcomings (genuinely) and invites the world to release her of any obligation of carrying her own weight, not messing other people's paths, and carries guilt overtly like a ticket to her true desires. In her heart, she's a very righteous and honourable person who does her best - and who could ask for more? Right, she's more than this but this aspect of her character is consistent throughout and is hard to swallow in today's world where we promote resilience, independence, intelligence, equity.... Because she looks like she checks the boxes but in reality doesn't live up to it.
SML has no b***s. If you're over the FL and can't go against your parents to marry a woman with a "poor" background, then stop making excuses for yourself to make yourself feel better. It's all...I wish I could do more but duty (to king/army/family) keeps me bound. Actually, love it when SFL calls it out in front of him.
These two deserved each other but in actuality had very little authenticity and honour. But if they're meant to portray people who lie to themselves about who they are to make themselves feel better, then the writer got it spot on.
Like the casting for ML and FL but their chemistry was a bit dry. Plus, ML and FL did not get a fair amount of screen time post getting together - and why was the FL hanging on to the SML for sooooo long?
Also, FL is supposed to be smart but faced with ML, how come she loses her edge? Is this a case of not bringing out the best in each other?
There's so much more I can say - especially about the uber rushed ending but I'm done wasting any more time on this drama. So, I'm just going to rush to an ending as well.

Overall good drama
Story:This was a story of Love. Obnoxious family members who would do anything for money, including selling off their daughter and niece. Suffering from betrayal from those you love and hold dearly. There is a disappointment due to secrets, traditional family values, and being forced to give up the one person you love. Then it’s followed up with revenge for a husband who was voiceless no matter how he tried.
You have sisters/cousins that go through life’s ups and downs together. They have a bond that seems unbreakable. Then one makes the ultimate sacrifice for the family that never truly treated her like family. The other cousin later becomes wrapped in pain and regret feeling remorseful and at times angry. The two find medium ground in the end. They both find out just who they are and what they are capable of.
You don’t want to miss this. There are a few holes and that’s mainly because some writers and producers have not yet adapted to the shorter dramas. When you have 65 episodes it’s easy to place everything needed in. However, when you have 30-40 it becomes a challenge, especially if the script

Once I saw the male lead I just new that the series would be good! However after watching 21 episodes I slowly realized that this series had begun a spiral down.I like the fact that they showed her thoughts out was kind of funny and interesting vs her talking to herself. There is some good action, cool fight scenes as well however there was definitely something missing from this and the big thing is common sense. The one good element that I’ve seen thus far is the loyalty that the female leads have for each other. The series portrayed a real sisterly love between the but somewhere between episode 10 and 16 they both started doing careless things, I.e trying to be super hero’s and sacrificing and showing signs of impulsiveness which could have gotten them killed so many times it’s ridiculous. Again not really funny or cute. Male leads were consistent to their characters of being loyal to the country or either brave. In love, our 2nd male lead lack some guts.
My hopes and rating for this series started out high. So many good points and high hopes however, I can see why the rating dropped. They had the female lead go from smart, independent and feisty to naive and clingy. Nothing about her character in the first few episodes gave me the vibe that she’d be one of those females that clung to a guy or situation like this. She went from a person demanding respect to a person offer herself up as a second wife to her closest sister spouse, that is where I lost hope for her.
Episode 1-10, were packed with funny elements, action and some plotting.
Episode 11-21 was full of the females leads constantly walking into traps that the average person would avoid,
Episodes 22-28 has some funny elements to it. It’s short lived. We see the stubbornness and manipulation that the FL has a gift for. Warning it’s frustrating. Not much relational progress.
Up to this point I’ve felt very little real chemistry or intrigue.

Interesting
I didn't expect too much out of this drama but I was surprised that it has kept my interest. I don't know who the FL will end up with. The sister relationship is strong. Moxi isn't an angel but she's not the devil either, that's different than most dramas. She developed skills because she had to survive under hard circumstances. There is plenty of action, and interesting support characters. It is keeping me guessing to the end what will happen. So it is not predictable. I never saw Gone with the Wind. Is this a spin off of that?Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

Confusing
I really wanted to like this drama. I feel like it is a roller coaster ride or a yo-yo. The FL has a pitiful life and is always focused on saving her cousin versus focusing on herself. The FL is also such a naive mess who is constantly making the wrong decisions. She betrays the ML so many times without knowing the real truth of the situation. The ML should get tired of being betrayed and rejected. He should let the FL go and focus on accomplishing his goals. After episode 33, I could not take anymore of this.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

Great start but hated the ending
Spoiler Alert!Really enjoyed the start, liked the sister relationship, got invest in FL’s relationship with WJG, she was so invested in then she ends up sacrificing WJG, giving him to her ssiter, and falling for the General (nothing against his character who was the only one who stayed true to character) and sister ended up with WJG. Argghhh! And because of how they paired up so rushed at the end, the relationships ended up feeling forced. Was so angry with the ending. Sister relationship at the end was disappointing too, it got tiresome with FL constantly helping the sister and felt as if they both betrayed each other’s feelings and couldn’t face each other at the end. Sister stayed with WJG. SML changed his mind but he didn’t seem totally happy. The relationships felt so forced and their love so wish washy with no loyalty at all. It wasn’t a happy ending. So disappointed and angry I wasted my time on it.

A train wreck
A dumpster fire of weak characters and an inconsistent plot narrative. Watch this if you like shouting at the screen or if you like characters that'll make you grind your teeth in frustration.This doesn't even deserve a rant.
