I LOVE THE MALE LEAD AND HOPE TO SEE HIM IN FUTURE DRAMAS. Contains spoilers. Another drama that had so much potential. In part I can see why it has a 9.6 rating but, in my eyes, it’s not worth the ratings it received. I must ask the question why the high ratings and I can only speculate that its men voting for her because she’s beautiful. Yes, I agree she is, but her soul is repulsive. In all my years of watching dramas I have not come across a female lead characterization that I hated more. She is cold, cruel, merciless, heartless, calculative, mean and unfeeling and nothing about her is redeemable. So, what if she did a few good deeds. She is not the proverbial ride or die chick. She never supported him the way she should have. She, however, was never fully invested in him or their relationship. She did not once stand up for him. She chose to hide, fake her death and took from him the opportunity to see her pregnant or see the birth and growth of their son. Even when she is away from her son, she showed no signs of missing him. Maybe it’s the women because of our wonderful male lead. I am total fan of him after seeing him in ‘BROCADE AND SWORD.” Our male lead in all aspects is a perfect 10. Who would not want his love, adoration and absolute devotion. He remained faithful and devoted to her from beginning to end. He never wavered or gave up on her or their marriage and he protected her the most. While she stabbed him, poisoned him, ran out on him so many times. Each time they would get back together, I had no hope that it would last because I never trusted her to not hurt him, which she continuously did. She did not deserve him, now and never. This is the type of drama I hate the most because she never took care of him like he did her. The one party should never be better than the other, marriage is an equal partnership. The only thing I loved about this drama is their intelligence on war strategies and together they were unbeatable.
