A Frustrating Drag Until the End

The biggest problem with this drama is how repetitive the characters' obsessions become. The second male lead is constantly obsessed with blaming the male lead for everything, no matter what happens. The female lead's trust issues are dragged out far longer than necessary, and the emperor remains fixated on believing his own son is guilty. These three repetitive conflicts make up almost 70–80% of the story.

It becomes incredibly frustrating . The first 3–5 episodes were enjoyable, with some fun comedy and a promising start, but after that, the drama turns into an exhausting cycle of misunderstandings and dragged-out conflicts. It became so frustrating that I ended up watching the rest at a faster speed just to finish it.

I couldn't see any chemistry between the main couple, no matter how hard I tried. The male lead's love for the female lead was evident, but that alone wasn't enough to create convincing chemistry. A romantic relationship needs mutual emotional connection, and I just didn't feel it between them.

Throughout the entire drama, the female lead kept saying, "This is the script, this is the script," over and over again. It became so repetitive that it was incredibly annoying.

ep 37 If someone says, "We'll live together, we'll die together," the literal meaning is that they'll stand by you and fight alongside you, even if it costs their life. It doesn't mean they'll just stand there watching like the audience. If they aren't helping at all, those words become meaningless and completely illogical.

FL character is so frustrating
