Fell Off in The Second Half

During the first 20 or so episodes of this, I thought this might be one of my new favorite dramas! As soon as they arrive in the capital, though, it all went downhill for me.

One thing I liked about the beginning was that they were both young and naive. Much of the time, the ML is already experienced or established in a career at the start of dramas so watching Guisi just starting out as well felt unique. Him suddenly becoming an accomplished court official made no sense to me.

I enjoyed him solving cases as a minor official in the smaller town and thought that line of work suited him way more! Especially as a realistic start to his career! He went from learning to deal with bullies at work to helping run the empire in a few months.

I also felt like the FL and the romance plot lost momentum in the second half. She became a supporting character, and they seriously felt like roommates to me after they finally got together.

I think I will find myself rewatching up to 27 a lot! And I’ll considered the rest as a season 2 I don’t need to worry about.
