Not the conventional romance but historical
Story:
May not be the best drama out there but definitely not disappointing. The story was kept realistic and historical. The trust that was built through so many episodes seen to be more real than the usual fall in love at first sight. This is a very political story. It revolves around a high official in court and his cucubine.
Yes, she is not the wife. He already had a harem of women before she married him. This may seem unacceptable to many viewers but it is real based on the historical setting. He is a high official who is 30 years old so definitely realistic. The betrayals and schemes between the leads were very interesting to watch. This story was not about romance. The kissing scenes were non conventional too. Not the best story in historical but definitely not bad. I think it felt similar to The sword and the brocade. The understanding between the ml and fl was so good and satisfying
Acting:
Both the leads did so well in this show. The acting was spot on for me. They showed every single emotion and the change of distrust to trust perfectly. The portrayal of the supporting actors were good too. The show can get full score in acting.
Ending:
Personally for me it was not bad. It may not satisfy every viewer. The villians kinda didn't get a satisfactory punishment. The final scene was not explained well .
Final verdict:
Do give it a try...
I jumped in without any expectations while waiting for another drama to air so. It's not the best nor the worst . Definitely something that is worth the time if you are alright with multiple wives.
