it was satisfying to watch! both the revenge and the romance was done well.

the acting was good! the costumes were gorgeous!!
the leads had good chemistry and understanding of each other. they were so clear about their affection to each other that it saved me from the frustrations of dragged out romantic misunderstandings.

what I liked about fl's character was that she didn't show fear or confusion the moment the original events were dealt with and new challenges were thrown at her. Aldo she fell in love with ml but didn't change her personality! she wasn't dumbed down for ml to look smart, they worked together perfectly. (except in ep 17/18 in which fl made a stupid move and got both of them in trouble)

Here comes my complaints about this drama:
-my main issue with this drama was the dubbing. specially in earlier episodes it was hard not to notice that the audio didn't match or wasn't in sync with their lips.
-the other issue could be the abrupt start of some episodes without prior build up from the previous episode. (though this is common in short length episode cdramas)
-episodes 17&18 were a bit too out of place and out of character for both leads in my opinion. so it deserves its own complaining line in my review!

So should you watch it?
*it's a decent one to start watching short cdramas if you are new to the format.
*it's quite fast paced so it's very binge worthy.
