FL and ML are the best

This is not a masterpiece but it is one of my favorite dramas this year. It's easy to watch, has good pacing, and has a likable main couple. I recommend you watch at least 5 episodes before deciding on whether you'll keep watching or not. The ML doesn't make a good first impression but he is one of the best characters in the drama. Tan Xuan Lin and Mu Wan Qing are underdogs who have their own ambitions and when their paths cross, they soon form a partnership to help each other achieve their goals. Both are intelligent, strategic, and know how to handle their opponents. Their romance is sweet and there's a good amount of romance but the drama doesn't get overtaken by it. Both actors did well in their roles. As for other characters, they all served some purpose in the drama. There aren't any side couple or character that was wasted and the side couples don't take up too much screentime. Some of the villains were slightly annoying but not as annoying as other characters from other dramas.

Honestly, I would not have finished this drama if it wasn't for the consistency of the main characters. The main leads didn't do anything stupid that was out of character or frustrating. It may seem like it in some parts but you're always wondering if it's part of their plan. There is character development for the ML and FL but they already started out pretty great. Yes, ML might not be likable at first but as you see him with his people, you learn to like him because of how loyal his people are to him. And the FL is one of the best Cdrama FL.

I think this drama is a good starter drama for anyone who wants to watch a revolution era drama that involves war and politics. Yes, expect deaths but it's lighter than other dramas from the same genre. I enjoyed it all the way to the end which is rare because I don't often finish cdramas and if I do, it's a chore.
