This is THE underdog drama of the year so far for me. I came into this with no expectations and was absolutely blown away by how GOOD this drama was. It wasn't just one or two characters that made this so good, but in fact the drama as a whole - the plot was so riveting and engaging that I literally never once felt an episode was boring or wasted. It made me care about characters I never expected to care for. I even started caring for the villains, because we were shown their motivations and past and could relate and empathize with their pain. The plot was so engaging for me that episodes could go by where the main leads would barely interact and I didn't even mind because I was so immersed with the rest of the story.

The whole cast honestly did such a great job with every one of their characters, and I love that there were little to no misunderstandings between the two leads and they were always on equal ground/footing. A lot of the characters are a bit unhinged and crazy (and you can already see it early on in the beginning episodes) so a lot of the times you're caught off guard with just how far they're willing to go, which honestly is one of the things I loved the most about this drama.

100% would recommend for people who love historical dramas or even those who are new to it.
