The script is interesting, it shows a sad period, where hope was often succumbed to cruelty (both from the invader and the inept and corrupt government of the time). The ending is a bit rushed and some characters aren't finished properly. It is a work of fiction, but the historical facts of the period were portrayed in a soft way (anyone who knows a little about the history of this period knows that the invader's cruelty was much more intense than the drama shows). In some scenes, it is possible to perceive the importance of people uniting in the struggle to build a fairer country, but despite some mentions of victories in the retaking of lands lost to the invader, the great army that rose to defend the country from shackles of a weak government and sold to the invader, does not have much prominence.
The cast is good and the performances are convincing.
The direction made no major mistakes in editing and managed to capture several exciting scenes. It only sinned in the ending, I think it deserved a few more chapters to explain the last mission and close some characters.
Adequate costumes and soundtrack.
