Auspicious Nobles

Don't Even Need to See the Final Episode >_<

let me sum this entire mini drama up for you in as few words as possible, m'kay?
+ "comedy" didn't comedy right at all.
+ romance = a few painful-to-watch forced kisses. & literally that's it. by 2nd to last episode FL in no way at all has fallen for ML. So be aware if watching for the "romance" cause this isn't where you'll find any.
+ plot that just had FL running in circles the entire. drama. to go nowhere at all by the end.
+ dealing with cheating husband and his lame concubine entire drama and it was so painfully boring to watch.
+ andddd... that's it -_-

A Drama Ruined by an Insufferable Female Lead

This drama is incredibly frustrating to watch. The female lead is annoying, irrational, and constantly jumps to the worst possible conclusions. She assumes the Crown Prince is some evil villain simply because he keeps interfering with her plans. Instead of paying attention to his actions, she convinces herself he's trying to kill her, even though there is little evidence to support it.
What's even more frustrating is that she's the one hiding her identity and keeping secrets, yet she continues acting as if he's the untrustworthy one. She's completely oblivious to his obvious affection and good intentions, making the same ridiculous assumptions over and over again.
The drama is only 26 episodes long, and by Episode 16 she hasn't shown any meaningful character growth. She's exactly the same as she was in Episode 1—stubborn, clueless, and making the same poor decisions. At this point, it's no longer entertaining; it's just repetitive and exhausting to watch.
I really wanted to like this drama, but the lack of character development and the female lead's constant irrational behavior made it hard to stay invested.

Right Main Character, Wrong Love Interest

As much as people are complaining about the FL, I think she was fine. People always complain about FL's in chinese dramas not having much personality or acting too cutesy but when we finally get a FL who has a dynamic personality that cares about more than just the ML then suddenly its an issue? If the FL was a man then she would have been praised for her ambitions. I think its just misogny running rampant.

The real issue is the ML, he assaults the FL on multiple occasisons. Forcfully kissing her, grabbing her, etc without her consent. That is a BIG RED FLAG!! It doesn't matter if she likes him or not, forcing someone is assault and I hated that this drama tried to make it seem romantic. The ML also went off of his assumptions about things the whole time, not even considering the fact that he could be wrong. That was very annoying. Honestly, I found myself rooting more for her to be with her personal guard rather than the ML. I honestly think she had more chemistry with the personal guard and the second lead rather than with the ML.
