Worth watching

Alright, let me tell you what I think. I love the Act 1 of this drama. You can actually see how she works in order to go up the ranks and also see how cunning she is. I love that. However, throughout Act 2 and Act 3, it suddenly got so boring and not fun anymore, especially towards the ending. I think this was when they tap into the storyline of ML and FL being siblings. When FL figure out that ML is her sibling that she’s been trying to find, since then on it was… agonizing to watch.

Don’t get me wrong. It’s still fun. But not as much as the beginning where she was this fearless and cunning woman.

Another thing that kinda confuses me is the ML. He said that he likes her, not in a brotherly way (indicating that he likes LIKES her as a woman). But.. why? And when did that happen? They never really explain it to us and I don’t think I realize the point in the story when he falls for her. Is it a childhood crush thing? Or literally he fell for her the first time that he met her?

Oh and I’ve seen a lot of people don’t like the guys in this drama because they’re half bald. Tbh I didn’t really care about that. I even think the ML and emperor looks very good half bald ;).

Nonetheless this drama is still worth watching.
