Role Reversal Female assassin vs Weak Emperor full of angst... I love it.
The story : Trained since her childhood to assassinate the Tyrant Emperor, FL enters the palace to find out that he is in reality a puppet Emperor. What will she do?
First of all. This drama is a Role Reversal Gender drama.
So ML plays the usual FL's part : Warm and emotional, whereas FL plays the usual ML's part : Cold and aloof. So keep that in mind and don't expect FL to be a "little miss sunshine" like in most of the dramas. You'll be disappointed.
Pros :
- The Leads become more and more strong as the drama progresses.
-Great character development for the former Emperor and for the Empress. I was proud of them in the end.
-Push and pulls, slowburn romance. Between threat and attraction. Sometimes FL aiming her dagger at ML seemed more like a cat and mouse game between them than a real threat.
- Good acting
- Good directing and visuals.
-Costumes are meaningful thus beautiful in this drama. FL being a waiting maid in charge of dressing and undressing the Emperor.
-Script is ok.
-Loved the climax in the end but the ending was less impactful.
Cons:
- ML and FL stay pretty much the same in term of character development.
- Some parts might seem draggy halfway because of the psychological arc, wich is the main subject of the drama : the heroes are torn between loyalty and love. It did not disturb me personally.
- Angsty.
- Ending seems rushed.
Overall:
I really loved this drama. I was waiting for every episode to be released, as it aired. Seeing an assassin becoming a protector was the best for me. And I liked to see a FL who is always strong and sticks to her principals and values. She is not a Mary Sue who become dumb when she is in love.
It was also refreshing to watch a cold FL tackeling dire situations with that cute and sweet ML. For me it was a treat.
So, if you like unconventional romance in wich a strong FL spends her time dressing and undressing ML, while strategizing with him and fighting enemies. You might like this drama.
