Just expect an unwavering female lead, and a solid role reversal theme.
What can i say... this is one of the most solid FL that i'd encounter so far in C-drama. Brilliantly scheming, almost always 10 steps ahead in every obstacle that was thrown at her. But also most of the girls in this drama are cunning. They were never inferior to men. It's refreshing to see this kind of trope that is consistent throughout the show about reversed roles. From the start, FL knew what she wanted and despite all the challenges, her goal remained solid and known. She may retreat at times, but only to look back and scheme some more to take over again. For her cold personality, she was moulded that way so it wasn't surprising even in her expression. She had to be formidable in and out because even in her own family, she was never safe. Then there was the ML. A scheming and cunning gentleman that could be on par with her. ML was warm and expressive in what he wanted. They were mostly opposite in how they showed themselves, but both were understandable. They may express each other's feelings differently but they love each other deeply. FL's way of loving him was not through words and constant affection, but she made him feel it through her support and giving him options in what he wanted to do. She wasn't a typical woman afterall. And ML wasn't the typical type of man who was afraid of showing affection. They just complement each other perfectly.Was this review helpful to you?
