dropped it early on
I honestly couldn’t get into this drama. Having come out around the same time as Maiden Holmes, I expected a strong, intelligent FL. I thought the case would also be more interesting and engaging. Maybe because I’ve been watching strong FLs recently. This FL was clumsy and kind of ridiculous. The mystery wasn’t engaging enough. The premise is interesting though. I wish the acting snd plot wasn’t so campy. I’m not sure if the plot gets any better but I could not watch anymore and decided to drop it at episode 3.Was this review helpful to you?
I was so sad it ended!
This drama was absolutely amazing. The acting was fantastic, the plots and storylines were fantastic. I didn’t feel the need to binge it and I didn’t feel bored during any part of it. This may have been the first drama I’ve watched without skipping ANY scenes at all. that’s a pretty big feat considering how much filler there can be in some of these cdramas.This drama is definitely very female-centric and the FMC is incredibly intelligent and a great fighter. MMC assists her and is also very knowledgeable but not a fighter. unlike typical cdrama dynamics, he’s more of a scholar. I loved how level headed and patient he was with her.
The focus of this drama is definitely not the romance. it focuses heavily on mysteries and building a fantastic plot and storyline. That being said, I loved the romance that we get little bits of. The biggest reason why I rated this 9/10 instead of a whole 10/10 is because towards the end, the leads treat each other in ways that we don’t see throughout the whole show. There’s some sudden romance that feels very jarring. Add to that the strange arguments and conflict and it felt a bit out of place.
Nevertheless, I loved this drama and can definitely see myself rewatching it!
