Rima-chan

I was initially hesitant to watch this drama due to its length—70 episodes felt quite overwhelming. However, with quarantine leaving me with little to do, I eventually decided to give it a try.

In my opinion, the drama is somewhat overrated. I did not find anything particularly exceptional about it, and much of the storyline felt unrealistic. Viewers who prefer more grounded and traditional narratives may find this series lacking.

I did enjoy the first quarter of the show, particularly the early scenes where YL stood up to the bullying seamstresses. Unfortunately, the plot soon became increasingly implausible—especially the way she frequently spoke back to the emperor without facing any real consequences. The level of plot armor surrounding WYL was excessive, and the story began to feel repetitive and tedious.

In terms of performance, I found the lead actress unconvincing. Many of her scenes came across as cringeworthy, and I struggled to feel any emotional connection to the characters.

That said, the costume design was impressive and one of the few redeeming qualities of the show.
