one of the best costume/political dramas ever written!

I don’t really get why some viewers call it overrated—it genuinely lives up to the hype. The pacing does get a bit uneven in the middle, lingering on emotional moments longer than needed. Still, if you’re into slow-burn character development, it actually works to the drama’s advantage. It gives you space to really sit with the characters’ contradictions—their vanity, vulnerability, and that quiet sense of desperation.

For me, I enjoyed every episode—I didn’t find a single one boring, even the filler felt meaningful. I love that the female lead is more than just a pretty face; she’s intelligent and strong in her own right. Some characters can be a bit annoying, but they serve a purpose. Plus, it has a great balance of romance, comedy, thrill, mystery, and action all in one. The chemistry between Song Zu’er and Liu Yuning is unexpectedly beautiful—subtle, natural, and quietly captivating in a way that just pulls you in.

Overall, POB is the kind of drama you don’t just watch for the plot, but for the feeling it leaves behind after each episode.
