If romance subplot was more slower, i would like this drama more

I watched this because of Jia Yi Xuan, her recent works are quite letdown some of her dramas are on my on-hold lists so i tried this her drama with Wang Yiran. The beginning is even better about undercover agent who look like FL brother so FL took a fancy for him; the romance between ML and FL falls in love too quickly and feels a bit cliché. The romantic subplot isn't very nuanced. I still prefer the FL when she's a powerful underworld boss—she's both yandere and arrogant enough. Both of leads acting were decent but actually it not make impressed enough. The chemistry was okay to watch but not to make me giggling, i am just nodded on this.

This drama takes the old tropes of body doubles and undercover agents and gives them a fresh, poignant feel! There's no artificial sweetness, only the agonizing struggle of knowing the danger yet being unable to resist approaching. Personally the romance development was too fast if they come slower i would like this drama more.

Still decent watch though.
