Tyrant ML and a Crazy FL = Perfect Combo
Wow, I was actually pretty surprised at how much I enjoyed this drama.Things I enjoyed from this drama:
1. FL’s cuteness. Me personally, cute fl’s can only work if they’re able to make it look ‘natural’ and for this actress, I feel like being cute runs in her blood. I wasn’t cringed out even the slightest, matter of fact, I was also awe-ing alongside the ML lmao.
2. FL’s determination to either get killed, or start mass murdering her entire ‘family’ while her man just watch her threatening everyone with a smile. Lives up to his tyrant name lol he could not care less about anyone else besides his woman and I respect that fr.
3. Antagonists punishment. The antagonist stood no chance from the beginning. Since the ML can read minds, he knew who was scheming and who wasn’t. The moment he set his eyes on the FL, everyone else became pieces of chess. Whether they live or die, thats up to the FL. He may owns the chess board but his woman was the one controlling the pieces.
4. Costume and makeup. Specifically the ML. He looked so good even with strands of grey hair. Whoever did his makeup needs a raise. The FL makeup and outfits were all so cute too, they didn’t look low budget at all.
5. NO GREEN TEA CONCUBINES WE CHEERED! When the fl came to the palace, they were all trying to poison her but later they found out she’s just an innocent girl *cough* and kind. Though, only one concubine was close with her, the rest wasn’t shown after the poison gift giving scene that was funny btw.
6. ML comedic timing and sassy acting. This man doesn’t have to try lol he might be the most prettiest and sassies tyrant I know and I love every second of it.
Things that could’ve been fixed:
1. Logic… holes? Idk plot holes? Though this is common in historical short dramas I still need to comment on it. He’s an emperor but 97% of the time, he was with her. He goes to (i forgot what its called but its where the ministries gather to discuss political stuff and present it to the emperor) like twice lol. Since he’s the emperor, I kinda assumed that he won’t be around as much but he was basically glued to her 24/7. Though I don’t necessarily dislike it bcs they were cute together, I still hoped there was an explanation to it.
2. Variety of characters. It is a very straightforward drama with no kidnappings or deadly poison or even aphrodisiac drugging (surprise surprise I couldn’t believe my eyes as well) but because of this I wish there were more characters that stands out. The main characters definitely carried the drama while the rest did their roles nicely but it was kinda meh.
3. Length of the drama. This drama has potential to be really good if they just make it longer. This is the type of drama where you wish it was longer to see the chemistry blossom more. Personally I think chemistry was good, though It was mostly ML doing the work because FL is busy being a murderous goofball.
In conclusion, give this drama a shot. I was pleasantly surprise and hopefully, you’ll be too.

It was actually fun?!
I was surprised by how fun this was. The FL is busy trying to kill her family or cause a mass killing, while he is here enjoying it. The ml and fl actress are actually so good looking. I wish them the best, specifically the hair and mekaup the ml had was just 💋. I hope they can have bigger projects in the future. Recommending this if you want to have some fun, without thinking too deeply.Cons:
There are a lot of plot holes: ex. I was very curious about fl past, I wish we got to have a look
at it. Why is the tyrant able to read thoughts?
Don't take the rating seriously, it's based on how much I enjoyed it, not the quality.
