On reaching the capital, she crosses path with the most fierce general of their time and thus starts a battle of wills. She is hell-bent on keeping her secret and becoming an official. He is hell-bent on finding out what she is hiding. In the backdrop of palace politics, will these two make love or war? Watch to find out!
My Review….
I loved this drama. I would say this drama is right on the same list as dramas such as “Under The Power” and the “Imperial Coroner”. I loved the fact that the female lead was intelligent and strong and never gave up on her dreams till the end. What I was most impressed by was that the storyline that showed a fierce general who could love her enough to not stand in the path of her dreams. Their relationship was a delight to watch from the beginning till the very end. The only thing that I didn’t enjoy much about this story was that the palace politics was kind of redundant, and the so-called “evil” person’s sub-plot seemed a little forced and out of place. Even if they left that out of the drama, it would still have been a good watch. Also, if you love the actor from “You are Desire”, then you might not like that he is a side character in this story. He doesnt have much of a backstory and his character is okayish at best. However, the main couple is so good that I just kept watching till the end anyway. So, if you are someone who enjoys watching historical romance stories, you can definitely give this one a try!
