A Discount Fantasy That Delivers More Than It Should
This drama has one of those titles that feels like it was slapped on by a marketing intern pulling an all-nighter. Let’s be honest: the name has absolutely nothing to do with the plot or the themes. Nobody’s chasing gold, no one’s breaking banks, and the closest thing to “money” is probably the costume budget—which, let’s face it, looks like it was borrowed from three different dramas and a cosplay rental shop. And yet, here’s the kicker: it works.
The best way to describe this drama is as a Temu version of Love Between Fairy and Devil. You recognize the design, you clock the cheaper materials, but then you’re shocked by how well it holds together. For something that should feel like a discount knockoff, it has an oddly cohesive charm. The production clearly knew its limits, stayed within them, and still delivered something surprisingly polished.
Of course, what really carries the whole thing is the leads. Their chemistry isn’t just believable—it’s infectious. Every look, every banter, every quiet moment is the kind of soft, funny, sweet energy that makes you grin at the screen like an idiot. Toss in the unexpectedly wholesome father-daughter bond, and suddenly you’re emotionally invested in a story you swore you weren’t going to take seriously.
And then, because the drama couldn’t resist, there’s even a sly wink at bromance between the uncle and the guard—just enough to fuel fan theories without ever committing. It’s that extra sprinkle of charm on a cake you already enjoyed.
Overall, this drama doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but it doesn’t need to. It knows exactly what it is: a low-budget fantasy romance that entertains without overreaching. Sweet, fun, and easy to watch—sometimes that’s all a drama needs to be.
