A beautiful journey awaits
⚠️⚠️THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS ⚠️⚠️Where do I begin?!
I've heard of this saying (fate is about timing)..this series had me in a chokehold from the 1st episode, it was beautifully written and the brilliant actors was ????
our main couple meet by chance shortly after the FL had had a dream about our ML, and it was love at first sight for our ML(she?..not so much) but that did not deter our ML(even after learning of her crush to someone else) in that time period she was considered (brash,loud mouth, forward) amongst other things. Our couple is then taken on a journey like no other and we get to see them in different stages of the their lives during the war and their timing being off(frustratingly so),
○After losing everything, she was not afraid to work(even though noble-women weren't allowed to)
○She sacrificed her love for Jang Hyeon and chose to stay with her family to take care of her unwell father and young siblings
○She was told he had died which in turn led to her getting married(not before mourning him)
○After that he(ML) finds out she was bought by the princess of the Qing empire (because of her unrequited love for Jand Hyeon)
○He gets Gil chae(FL) out and the Qing princess almost kills him while he was trying to save Gil chae
○Makes Jang Hyeon make Gil chae leave to have him to herself (Qing princess) as a result of not understanding why he'd be willing to die for her
○She goes back, only to find her husband has impregnated another woman(probably thought she was never coming back)
○Her refusing to him and see her struggle
●Despite everything he continued to love her unconditionally
●He fought with her and for her(didn't think twice when she was in danger)
●He risked everything to get her out of slavery(when her husband chose reputation over her)
●As he promised, always finds her(wether in danger or not)
●The way his eyes conveyed what his mouth couldn't
●His hearts refusal to forget her when his mind did
●His unwavering love for her throughout the years
●their sacrifices for other people (captives)
There's a lot I could say regarding these two but it still might not be enough, the emotional roller-coaster one goes through whole watching(laughter, love,tears,anger, angst, frustration) but a beautiful journey one could take.
Let me leave it here

mild spoilers
I immensely enjoyed EVERYTHING about the storyline, even the villain of the story did so well and tied in the story(even though I hated him). it's a total re-watchable series.I also enjoyed the rise of Jang Uk (against all odds), his character development, the dedication of Maid Kim and his friends. he also proved that "destiny delayed is not destiny denied " to come out triumphant.
lastly I loved the inserts of comedy and romance(the right amount) wherever they where needed between the main characters.

Great storyline but fell short of execution
I was sold on the synopsis of the story, loved the main leads and how their story grew, but i felt robbed on the last episode as it felt rushed leaving me with an unexplained open ending, also i didn't understand Denise's character as it was not explained as to how he's entangled with the director and his mental capacity(his character felt forced on Seol). Before I forget, also why did the director stop buying dinner as per the title of the story and the whole premise of it.All in all i hope there will be a season 2 as more needs to be explained and explored.Was this review helpful to you?
