Refreshing
The story is so not light themed as at first hinted! It's about womens' dreams in an era that women were things, not humans. It's not a historical representation, obviously(and woe to those who take it a face value), but it's a cleverly told story of different aspects of love in such a way that you can't help but root for all the main CP characters. And they don't all get a HE according to kdrama logic. Some are happier alone. There are some loose ends I would have liked tied(eg. What happened to the Empress' brother?Did the scum prince pay for his crimes in the end?) but it's ok. It's not a heavily political or representational drama, but it definitely conveys the message it should: Live your dream and fight on!Was this review helpful to you?
Perfect binge watch for the weekend
As a woman the themes in this drama hit too close at home for comfort so yes, it deserves a 10/10. The FL is scared of feelings that change in a relationship, she resorts to AI fantasy only to realise that what she wants, exists in reality but it comes with all the traps of real life.Yet she's willing to live for the moment and not let an uncertain future intimidate her. A wonderful mature romcom approach to a universal relationship dilemma: safety or life?Was this review helpful to you?
