Surpisingly Good

This series started slow, fun, and light and transitioned gradually & smoothly to serious heavy drama.

I enjoy the plot showing women power during a period that women are a minority. It was part of the story from start to end of the series highlighting women capabilities in raising a family, business and even in military. How hard it must be during this period when woem doesnt carry half the value of a man during this time.

I enjoyed the relationship of the lead character as husband and wife. They were married not liking each other but ended up having the tightest, loyal bond ever. The support they provided each other at all times and at the same time learnkng from each other. It is model relationship that any cour would aspire. Although there is romance and relationship in this series, it was balanced with the story regarding business, family, politics and friendships. It is not the main focus of the story.

The wardrobe for this series is exceptional and perfect for each scenes. Production showed serious attention to details adding to the authenticity of the story. The director did an excellent job in telling the story. The transition was smooth and solid. The war scenes were choreographed well and the locations used were the typical locations for period setting series. Most of them looked familiar being used in other series.
I am not very familiar with the lead actors but it is nice to see some support actors I am familiar with watching many period dramas.

I highly recommend this series. My opinion it is a great watch.
