K-Drama This review may contain spoilers
This is what happens when your intrusive thoughts invade while writing a fanfiction.
The story itself is actually boring, but the acting, that still somehow manages to be mediocre, is what makes it all gloriously unhinged. I burst out laughing a lot purely because of the ridiculousness of the plot. And still, they somehow managed to play one of the best enemies-to-lovers trope I've seen so far. Not because the acting was good, but because it was insane.
The actress playing He Weilan was really good at portraying being hopelessly in love. The switch to assassin-self was meh, but her cover-identity was spot on.
Lots of neck grabbing and biting. Honestly, after episode two I just kept watching cause I wanted to know who else is going to get bitten. You have to totally suspend your disbelief regarding anything and then you will enjoy this series.
Unfortunately all the themes of womens empowerment and equality in relationships get lost in the slew off other nonsense. With long teeth I will admit that the FL keeps true to her character throughout, but only barely. One think I will say, the leads, as a couple, have very good chemistry, once they get to the lovey-dovey phase.
