A very surprising drama!
This was a genuinely entertaining drama from start to finish, and one that consistently exceeded my expectations. What impressed me most was its ability to keep surprising me throughout all 24 episodes. Just when I thought I had a clear sense of where the story was headed, the plot would introduce a new twist or character development that refreshed the narrative and kept it engaging. The pacing was especially well handled for a shorter drama, with very few dull moments or unnecessary filler.
One of the strongest aspects of this drama is its portrayal of intelligent, capable female leads. The women were not only strong in title but also written as genuinely smart, strategic, and competent characters who actively drove the story forward. Their decisions mattered, and they were allowed to succeed (and fail) in believable ways without being overshadowed. This made their arcs satisfying to watch and added real depth to the overall story.
The male lead was equally strong and well-developed. Rather than dominating the narrative, he complemented the female leads effectively. When the characters worked together as a team, that was when the drama truly shined. Their collaboration felt balanced and earned, highlighting mutual respect, trust, and shared intelligence rather than relying on clichés.
From a production standpoint, the drama was very well made, especially considering its shorter format. The costumes were beautiful and thoughtfully designed, enhancing the visual appeal and atmosphere of each scene. The OST was decent and fit the tone of the drama well without being distracting.
Overall, this drama delivered solid storytelling, strong performances, and high production quality. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an engaging, well-rounded series that knows how to use its time effectively.
