When the Comedy Hits Hard… and the Finale Hits Harder
The last two episodes changed the scale of the whole drama. Initially thought it was an usual wuxia, but it turned out to be so much more - the story, politics, mystery, and the comedy were all brilliant. Can't agree with the romance part - it felt totally unnecessary and there was zero chemistry. I was waiting for everything to unfold, but it just ended, and with what? a BANG! What in the world was that? I have never come across such impactful endings lately!Let me take a moment to appreciate the Grand Princess - incredibly wise, secretly protects her sister, and even boldly told the Supervisor not to involve Lin An unless absolutely necessary! I thought she was the main lead and maybe has more to her character which was never showed.
As for Lin’an, I don’t mind a female lead who is naïve, or isn't strong, but her character was just so hard to like. The moment she impersonated her sister, I almost dropped the drama out of pure frustration. It seemed like she had no real role to play and couldn't comprehend how she and Qi An fell in love at all. They should have skipped the romance entirely, or paired him with the Grand Princess or the Duchess instead.
On the brighter side, the comedy never failed, especially the family forgetting a person each time lol. I enjoyed the most when they forgot Xinnian as they moved to new house, a series of his embarrassments, and Qi An’s face whenever the lovers kept missing each other on different bridges? Comedy gold.
But my god, those final episodes - what a massive shift in dynamics! Even though Commissioner Zheng and Qi An barely spent any time together, the emotional impact was huge. Dylan's acting was on another level , made the loss feel so raw and deeply personal. Bro, I literally cried non-stop. Its's like he was made for this role. I was cheering and so proud when Qi An sliced their legs - I couldn’t skip a single second.
I have SO many questions left, but you're telling me there's a Season 2?! If I had known this wasn't a standalone show, I wouldn't have started it yet! 😭

Must watch
Acting, story, execution, bromance - brilliant.Hyyh is an interesting concept that I would have liked even if I wasn't an army. Anyone can watch it , and if you are an army, it's more emotional attachment because there are many subtle cute moments included that certainly reminds of them. I prefer watching dramas over reading a book and this is what I want! More, please more🥺
The actors who played jhope , suga(characterwise) and jimin(lookwise) match so perfectly with real BTS! Hyyh yoonkook supremacy!😭
