Y'all, the first episode or 2 is trash, but keep going. Everything unfolds......

Pros:
-lots of twists and turns
-love the scheming
-love the political intrigue
-love the dealing with of the 2ml
-side characters were mostly liked
-love how the main leads support each other (using power, finances, and emotionally)

Cons:
-some of the plot twists stab you
-one of the side couples are kinda annoying (skipped past them)
-the sister of the ml is troublesome
-not a huge amount of chemistry

(I will soon finish and give my final review)

Update at 3/28/2025: I finally dropped. This was on-hold for nearly half a year. At this point, I don't think I will pick this up. Zhang Jing Yi, yet again, found a powerful, admirable fl to play, and played her well. This drama was my first of hers (she is my fav actress btw). The reason I dropped this is because there was a conflict between the ml and fl that just didn't make sense, and caused the ml to make the fl lose face in front of everyone. I was so in pain that I couldn't watch. Days became weeks, and weeks became months. I feel really sad that I had to drop this, but here we are anyway. 😭
