A Very Short Song

I’m still running high on the minis. I didn't like this one as much as the others I have recently watched, I think it’s mainly because The episodes were super short and just when I was getting into it and getting into a comfortable position, it ended. Then, the next one started in another “place” and I had to go through the whole process again… 28 times. So, I am going to say I prefer the minis that have 7+ minute episodes. Since this allows me to get into the story.

However, the female main lead was refreshing. I give her *two thumbs up*. I like that she saw an opportunity and grabbed it. She was a victim once (she had a tragic past due to the disgusting old donkey of an emperor), became a survivor, and got her revenge. The male lead was more of a green to orange flag. I never saw him as a full red flag, except maybe in the first episode, but that was it. There were some nice scenes and a couple of steamy ones, but nothing that brought out an intense emotional response from me. Despite the show being short, and me not being fully invested, the story felt complete. And honestly, if episodes had been a little bit longer, I would have been devastated. So, I don’t see why it would need a second season.
