A Promising Start That Lost Its Focus
This is another drama that I felt could have been better. It had such an impactful beginning—I loved the choreography, the palace intrigue, and how effectively the villains were established. There was also a rich backstory supporting the present narrative, which made the early episodes especially compelling.
However, it eventually fell flat for me. The subplots weren’t developed enough, and the focus shifted heavily toward the relationship between the leads. I would have preferred the romance to be more integrated into the main storyline rather than taking it over. The script also kept introducing new ways for the protagonist to survive life-threatening situations, which made the final stretch feel unnecessarily drawn out.
Ultimately, whether you enjoy this drama may depend on how much balance you prefer in a narrative.
