I'll start this review by saying that I enjoyed this series a great deal. I liked the intrigue, the plotting, the outsmarting. Very clever characters. I loved the fight scenes.

I adore a strong and cunning female Lead and a matching male lead, and vice versa. This series had both.

I appreciated her Boss B personality and that she understood her role and priorities. I loved his devotion and strong sense of justice.

I enjoyed the character growth of all the other characters. I especially liked seeing the role reversal where normally it's a harem of women acting up. This time it was a harem of men.

But what I wanted to see was more romance. I wanted the couple to get together and stay together as they work as a team against their enemies. And one can argue that they did but it was more Flourishing Peony and I wanted Legend of Ming Lan where once they decided to get together, nothing was separating them through thick and thin and both were strong, cunning and badass leads.

This one was like romance brewing in the first 19 eps then pining and will they, won't they until ep. 36. So be prepared for that.

I also normally hate amnesia and secret identity tropes, but this one played them well.
