A Promising Start That Loses Pace and Ends Abruptly
In the initial episodes, I felt it was a really good drama. However, after around 18–20 episodes, it seemed like the writer was trying too hard to create a shocking storyline, which instead felt irrelevant and unnecessarily dragged out.
At times, it was quite disappointing to see the female lead fainting repeatedly. If she had already trained in a death camp, how could she be so fragile?
The middle episodes were confusing because the writer suddenly turned close friends into bitter enemies. It was also unclear how a 10-year friendship could be ruined due to a childhood incident, especially when the main lead (ML) had no fault in it—the entire decision was made by his friend’s father. Yet, the friend blamed ML and his father without even trying to confirm the truth or talk to his own father before planning revenge.
As the drama progressed, it started to feel a bit draggy, and my interest shifted from the main leads (ML and FL) to the supporting characters—the two princes and one princess. I actually enjoyed their storyline more than that of the main leads. Unfortunately, their story was wrapped up too quickly, as if the writer rushed through it. With more focus, their arc could have been developed beautifully.
Overall, it’s a good drama for a one-time watch.
