It didn't meet MY expectations

I don't care if you bombard me with negative comments because of this but this didn't meet my expectations. I saw and heard several people hyping this series and even claimed it's one the best C-dramas out there. I hesitated watching this for a very long time, because I watched some clips of this and thought that maybe it's gonna be too much, just like The King's Woman. So I stalled for a year before finally deciding to watch this today.

At first it was okay. Typical scheming women trying to climb up the ladder. Then some betrayal stuff here and there. I was getting confused. Where were those clips I watched? Then when it got to, what the last 10 episodes, I got to see one of those famous clips of the FL and the ML in a cave.

In short, the romance between the FL and the ML starts at the last episodes. And I’m not just talking about this, the whole 20-25 episodes were a drag I was fast-forwarding the entire drama tbh. If it weren't for the actors' amazing performances, this wouldn't have been a flop.

Anyway, it's not that I regret watching this, but I think I'll be rewatching the fan made clips in TT and YT instead of rewatching this as a whole.
