The first few episodes were actually really promising ~ the leads had great chemistry, and the ML pulling off those dual roles, a sweet husband and a flirty stranger, made things super interesting. The FL also started off strong ~ smart, confident, getting info through her own sources, and even a trained martial artist. Their sync without even knowing each other’s goals was the perfect kind of spice I was hoping for.

But then the story completely lost it. Her “grand revenge plan” turned out to be… sleeping with the crown prince to have his baby? Like, seriously? All that 'sword practice sessions in music room' buildup for this? She literally dropped her weapons and pride overnight. I’m fine with seductive or cunning FLs if that’s their set personality, but this kind of 180° flip just ruins the character.

And honestly, the actress didn’t help either ~ s he’s okay in normal scenes, but her emotional acting, especially in episode 13, was flat-out bad (She speaks like she is about to sneeze anytime)

The plot itself feels recycled; there’s nothing fresh or surprising anymore. It started with fire but burned out way too soon.
