I just saw a snippet of the first episode on YouTube and decided to watch. And I never regretted every moment of it. I thought it was a romance series but boy was I wrong! The slow-burn romance is definitely to my liking, but the way they portrayed the war and focused on the life of the Hu family, it's so good I feel like I'm one of them. Most of all, I love the character development, I love how they made each character important. Please watch it with lots of tissue paper!
