action, action everywhere

Ok, I had ups and downs with this one, the beginning was very intriguing and while we were getting more informations it got more and more interesting, however, there was some boring parts.
The story is basically tell in three time lines, Jinman past, Jian past and present. It was told in a flashback format, so it started with the present and the characters past were presented as memories, and I didn't think it worked so well.
I understand the suspenseful intention with using flashbacks, but it felt like stoping the whole story to tell us something that we should know, but we don't yet. I believe that the show would work better if it followed the time line.
But it was great the same way, I just LOVED the uncle niece relationship, they were amazing, as well as the support characters. And that ending... I WAS SO FKN COOL, I was kinda expecting him to come back but trying to not put my hopes too up, AND HE'S BACK!! I really hope that'll be a second season.

What was this ending!?

Oh my God! I'm freaking out!! I mean, the drama was amazing by itself, all the characters, the story, the very well-done war scenario, it was all incredible. BUT THEN, Chae Ok suddenly comes back to life, AND THEN Master Jang appears as another person IN THE FUTURE!?
Is it like a "past life lovers" following the time line? Like... past first then present? No boring flashbacks but a season for each time!? I'VE NEVER BEEN SO EXCITED FOR A SECOND SEASON IN MY WHOLE LIFE!!
I completely loved it, the romance was incredibly well-developed, the historical content was very good and detailed, it made me feel into that time, and sweet Jesus, Jang Tae Sang just give me so much Gatsby vibes!! The 30's vibes with the new money aesthetic, with his wealthy clothes and all... I'm just in love!
