Female empowerment beautifully told

It's been a long time since I enjoyed a series enough to binge watch it so quickly (in 3 days). I think the best part of this drama was the writing, production and directing. I loved the storyline and the way it was structured. Using creative ways to tell the passage of time and seasons was very creative and felt poetic. Of course all that work would have been wasted without superb acting from the cast. I think one very strong point for this drama is that because the drama wasn't overly focused on just the ml & fl, they did not have to do exceptionally well for the drama to be good (not that they did not do well) but there were so many great side characters with great acting that I enjoyed watching no matter when. I loved the female empowerment theme and how it was portrayed for different women in different situations. The OSTs were so good too, it ekevated the drama.The way the storytelling was done was so so good. Great storyline and storytelling. Ep 39 felt rushed but it was still done creatively. And then this type of drama is usually my favorite type so that helped. It's not overly focused on romance which was great. It's been a while since we had a drama like this. Since story of minglan. It really made me laugh and cry and get angry and get excited and get annoyed and all of the above. Best drama of 2026.
