Amazing story, held back by execution
This drama has a good story but when you get to around EP 35 the script writing gets incredibly lazy. Doing so many time skips so you don't have to fill in the gaps is just irresponsible in a drama this meaningful. This thay built up in the beginning were glazed over or skipped, example: They should have shown his struggle and coming to terms with what the FML was telling him about serving the emperor but they just show his outrage of the play and then him walking out of the palace, they didn't even show him discussing it with the emperor, just skipped it entirely. They didn't clearly or cleanly confirm he knew who she was until the end. His realization should have been more impactful, but all they did was point out that someone of her status wouldn't have the skills she had, they were taught in a prominent family. They could have used their visit to the grave site in the flash backs because her reaction makes sense in context. They should have kept the time skip in the beginning, the one when they are older and the one where she is old and show time moving through visuals and seasons and children getting older, but to just skip so many times disconnects there story too much.
