Overall, I enjoyed watching this, but the last few episodes felt a little stretched out. What initially drew me to the drama was its balance of comedy, palace intrigue, and rebirth involving multiple characters. Toward the end, though, it felt repetitive and imbalanced. By about three episodes before the finale, I felt like the story had already reached a stopping point, and I think the remaining episodes could have been condensed into one.

That said, this was far from disappointing for a short drama. I looked forward to turning it on and usually watched around three episodes a day. It was entertaining and kept me engaged for most of its run.

Rebirth used to be my ride-or-die favorite trope in micro dramas, but after watching this genre for about three years, I’ve started to feel burned out on it. The formula can get repetitive after a while. What made this drama more palatable for me was how it approached the concept. Rather than focusing on a single character’s rebirth, it introduced different layers through multiple characters experiencing rebirth at different points. The comedic delivery in some of the subplots also helped break up the potential monotony of a trope that can otherwise feel overdone.

For all those reasons, this drama worked well for me. Despite my issues with the pacing toward the end, it was an entertaining watch that offered enough variety in its humor, intrigue, and approach to rebirth to keep me invested for most of the journey.
