Good and interesting storyline meets good acting and chemistry

I'm a sucker for BLs with interesting storylines and this one really provided one. There were definitely some moments where I was doubting our main casts intelligence, as they did some very stupid mistakes, but for the most part I really had a great time. The finale had a lot of unrealistic and questionable things happening, but it was ok once you turn your brain off. The main leads chemistry was amazing, PoohPavel definitely deliver in that department. Acting wise I thought everyone was amazing, except Pooh (no hate intended just my opinion), he wasn't terrible but definitely a big step below the rest of the cast.
If you like Horror and BL, definitely a must watch.

Fan Service

This is a show with precious little plot or character development. As far as I can tell, it exists as fan service for its pseudo previous season, called “One and Only.” I say “pseudo previous season” because this show is set in the modern day and One and Only is set in a Tang Dynasty-ish environment.

Bai Lu is very pretty and spends a lot of screen time sleeping. Ren Jia Lun just goes around doing banal work and family stuff. They may or may not be reincarnated versions of the leads from One and Only. It really doesn’t make a lot of sense, although it is strangely entertaining waiting for them to do pretty much anything.

Expanding the World, Unravelling the Mysteries

Season 2 takes everything that made the first season interesting and expands it into a much bigger, more complex story. The pace is noticeably faster, the worldbuilding goes deeper, and we are introduced to several new characters who I suspect will play important roles in future seasons. While I did miss some of the familiar faces from Season 1, I actually enjoyed seeing the story move beyond its original group of characters. After all, this is an ongoing story, and with the incoming calamity that could potentially threaten the entire world, Zhang Chulan is obviously going to need more people around him. I really don't understand why some viewers were so upset about the introduction of new characters or the reduced presence of familiar ones. Expanding the cast feels like a natural progression of the story rather than a distraction.

The murder of an NDT supervisor sets the events of this season in motion, with the prime suspect turning out to be none other than his own temporary worker, Chen Duo, also known as the Poison Saint. This incident puts the temporary workers from the other six regions under scrutiny because of their mysterious backgrounds and the potential danger they pose to Feng Baobao's identity. Initially, the higher management considers confining these operatives indefinitely, but eventually decides to send them after Chen Duo instead. For the first time, temporary workers from different regions are expected to cooperate as a team.

Naturally, this creates tension, particularly for Zhang Chulan, who is increasingly concerned about Feng Baobao's identity being exposed. None of the workers is particularly enthusiastic about cooperating, and nobody initially takes the initiative to organise the group. However, as they get closer to Chen Duo, circumstances gradually force them to work together. I enjoyed watching their interactions and how they eventually reach an understanding, even if it wasn't exactly part of anyone's original plan. Meanwhile, Zhang Chulan begins calculating his next moves to ensure Feng Baobao remains protected.

One of my favourite developments this season was Zhang Chulan himself. He has become considerably more calculating and analytical, and we get a much better look into how his mind works. He is increasingly aware of how important Feng Baobao is, and almost everything he does revolves around ensuring her safety and protecting her identity. I particularly enjoyed seeing this side of him because it shows how much he has matured since the first season.

His relationship with Feng Baobao is still a far cry from a conventional romantic pairing. With Zhang Chulan constantly calling her Erjie and Feng Baobao potentially being close to a hundred years old, I have always viewed them more as siblings and complementary partners than lovers. I genuinely don't understand why some viewers keep debating their romantic chemistry. I don't think they are necessarily supposed to be a romantic couple. Their chemistry as partners is already off the charts, and I absolutely love this duo. That said, I wouldn't necessarily mind if the story eventually took them in a different direction.

Feng Baobao is an interesting character in her own right, and Wang Yinglu's performance is simply chef's kiss. What I particularly appreciate is how the story doesn't always make the male lead the centre of its universe. In many ways, Feng Baobao feels like the more significant piece of the larger mystery, while Zhang Chulan's journey increasingly revolves around understanding and protecting her. I would have liked to see more of her personal memories explored this season, but her interactions with Chen Duo still offered some interesting glimpses of another side of her.

Speaking of Chen Duo, her story is arguably the emotional heart of this season. The entire adaptation revolves around her origins, upbringing, intentions, and, most importantly, what she actually wants. Initially, I thought this would simply be another character arc introducing a potential ally. However, her story turned out to have much greater significance for the overall narrative. Her journey was one of the most compelling aspects of this adaptation, and while the larger mysteries remain unresolved, her personal story receives a rather appropriate resolution.

Ma Xianhong was another particularly interesting character. He is intelligent, powerful, and genuinely believes in his vision of creating equality. However, his idea of achieving a greater good is fundamentally flawed. You cannot claim to be kind while bringing chaos and destruction into the world for the sake of your ideals. I found him manipulative at his core, despite his intentions. Even with one of the Eight Supreme Skills at his disposal, he often seemed inferior in his confrontations because of the way he chose to use his power.

We also get glimpses of his recovered memories, and I honestly hope his story doesn't end here. I particularly want him to discover the truth about his so-called sister, who seems to have manipulated him from the beginning. I would love to see him turn against her and finally seek revenge for his grandfather. There is still so much potential in his character, and I would hate to see his story end here.

Among the newly introduced temporary workers, Xiao and Qi were particularly memorable. Xiao initially comes across as rather merciless, but underneath that exterior is a surprisingly soft-hearted person. He reminded me of a coconut: hard on the outside but soft within. His emotional reaction while listening to Chen Duo's story was genuinely touching. He had that protective, big-brother quality, and I found myself growing quite fond of him. He wouldn't hurt an innocent person, although the person he personally targeted certainly deserved what came his way.

Qi, on the other hand, was an absolute delight whenever he transformed. His abilities were probably my favourite among the new characters. He played the role perfectly, and that little sly smile whenever he performed the Man Love spell was such a sight!

The temporary workers as a whole were a wonderful addition. Each had a distinct personality, fighting style, and approach to the situations they encountered. I would have loved to learn more about their individual backgrounds, but even with limited screen time, they managed to leave an impression. I hope future seasons give us more opportunities to explore them.

And can we talk about the casting? The casting director is a genius! I especially loved the casting for Wang Zhen Qiu. The recasting of Zhu Ge Qing was definitely disappointing, though. I suppose I can survive it because the replacement actor was actually the actor from my very first C-drama, so it was nice to see him again. Still, I really missed the original Zhu Ge Qing from Season 1.

As for the action, this season absolutely delivers. The fight against Ma Xianhong was particularly epic, and the choreography, power-ups, and introduction of new abilities made the action sequences incredibly satisfying to watch. The comedy has been toned down compared to Season 1, although there are still enough entertaining moments to keep things enjoyable. Personally, I didn't mind the change because the story had much more serious matters to explore.

What fascinated me most, however, was the expanding worldbuilding. The introduction of the Divine Forge, the different types of Outsiders, the Bunker, and the temporary workers gave us a much deeper understanding of the world these characters inhabit. We also learn more about the internal organisation of NDT, how it operates, and how different individuals respond to its rules and authority. There is an underlying eeriness to the entire setting, which I particularly enjoyed. The modern wuxia atmosphere that made the first season feel so refreshing continues here, but with an increasingly layered and complex narrative.

The philosophical conflict between Ma Xianhong's desire for equality and the NDT operatives' belief that power must be rightfully earned was also interesting food for thought. It adds another dimension to what could otherwise have been a straightforward conflict between opposing factions. I appreciate that the drama doesn't rely on action alone. The confrontations also reveal the characters' motivations, beliefs, and the way they perceive the world around them.

Of course, while Chen Duo's personal story receives a resolution, the larger narrative is far from complete. Who are the people manipulating events from behind the scenes? What exactly is their connection to Feng Baobao? What is the real purpose behind the Eight Supreme Skills? Is Wu Gensheng still alive, and where is he now? And what exactly is the greater calamity that seems to be approaching?

The story is becoming increasingly complex, with hints of mysteries and forces extending beyond what we initially understood about the world. There are so many questions, and I am genuinely curious to see where everything leads. I wouldn't call these unanswered questions plot holes because the story is clearly designed to continue across multiple adaptations. However, knowing that it might take several seasons to unravel everything is a little frustrating!

The ending is somewhat open, with Chen Duo's arc and the immediate purpose of gathering the temporary workers reaching their respective conclusions, while the larger conflict remains unresolved. So, although this season gives us some satisfying closure, it also leaves plenty of unfinished business.

Overall, I found Season 2 just as intriguing as the first, if not more ambitious in terms of storytelling and worldbuilding. It expands the universe, introduces a fascinating group of characters, develops Zhang Chulan further, and gives us Chen Duo's emotionally compelling story. What I appreciate most is that the drama manages to be character-driven while simultaneously pushing a much bigger overarching narrative forward.

It is the kind of story that makes you curious about what comes next. In fact, I enjoyed it enough that I am seriously tempted to check out the original source material because I simply don't want to wait for the next adaptation to find out what happens.

Now, can we please have the next season? I have far too many questions left unanswered!

I Waited for It Every Single Day: Where the Mask Ends Completely Won My Heart

I don't usually write reviews. I watch, I enjoy, and I move on. But Where the Mask Ends made me stop and write one, because it was just that good. I have never been this hooked on a drama while it was airing. I was literally waiting for the next episode every single day, and now that it has ended, I'm sad that it finished so fast 😭.

Schemes, revenge and a romance worth waiting for

Everything about this drama worked for me: the cast, the cinematography, the songs, all of it. But what I loved most were the schemes and the revenge. Every episode kept me guessing, and nothing felt boring or dragged out. And then the romance in the last episodes came and made the wait worth it 🔥. Honestly, I wish we had seen even more of the romance, but the story is not really a romantic one at its core, so I'm completely fine with that.

Yan An as Lu Zhuo: my first drama of his and I'm already a fan

This is the first time I have watched Yan An ❤️ in a drama, and I'm now a fan 😻. His acting, his emotions, everything was perfect. Lu Zhuo is the kind of male lead who is always beside her, never lets her down, and never cares where she comes from or what she did. He even goes against the rules behind the curtains for her. He is the standard 🔥💕. Yan An made every one of those feelings look real, and I felt them with him.

Tian Xiwei as Wei Rao: another amazing performance

I'm a fan of Tian Xiwei from Pursuit of Jade, and she did not let me down here either. She plays a woman who has to stay brave while hiding so much fear, and she does it beautifully. Her face can say so much without a single word. Together, Tian Xiwei and Yan An were extraordinary 😭💕. Their acting is the heart of this drama.

And Wei Rao's confession in the fire? Epic 🔥. Lu Zhuo deserved that moment, because why not? After everything he did for her, he earned it.

The supporting cast was so good

The supporting characters made this world feel alive:

Bi Tao and Ah Man were both lovely to watch.
The Lu family was great, especially the grandmother, the mother and the fourth aunt. Each of them had her own strong presence.
Lady Shouan, Wei Rao's maternal grandmother, was my favorite surprise. After Wei Rao and Lu Zhuo, she is the most intelligent person in the story.
Lady Li is so cute and beautiful.
And I'm really glad the emperor was reasonable and understanding. It is so refreshing when a ruler listens instead of making everything harder.
The only flaw: the ending

Now for my honest opinion. The ending was the one thing I did not love. For me, the drama should have ended at the scene where Lu Zhuo teaches Wei Rao with the sword. It was the perfect final moment. Liu Shou's death felt unnecessary, and they finished him in just two seconds. Really? 😭 And the baby? Who knows if it will be a boy or a girl?

The ending felt open, and they can make up for it with a season 2. I would absolutely love to have one.

Final thoughts

I will not judge the whole show by its last 15 minutes, because everything before it was perfect. Where the Mask Ends gave me great acting, beautiful scenes, smart schemes, good songs and a romance I'm still thinking about. It's easily a 10/10 for me. Highly, highly recommended 🔥💕

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 10/10

Dark, Toxic, Addictive and Absolutely Unforgettable

WOW! This is hands down the best short vertical BL series I have ever watched! I was so addicted that I binged all 58 episodes in one sitting. It is extremely rare for a BL to have me this hooked from beginning to end, but this one completely took over my attention. I honestly could not stop watching!

The plot is unique, dark, toxic and incredibly addictive. THIS is how you do a BDSM BL! It is intense, twisted and emotionally complicated, yet underneath all that darkness is a love story built on trauma, obsession and a complicated past.

Taeseo grew up wealthy and privileged, living a life of luxury. However, everything came crashing down when his parents went bankrupt and fled the country, leaving him with nothing. Unable to give up his extravagant lifestyle, he borrowed money from a loan shark, only to discover that the man running the company was none other than Kong Haein, his former student whom he had privately tutored four years earlier.

And this is where things get really interesting!

One thing I absolutely loved about this drama was how it used flashbacks to gradually reveal the characters’ pasts. Rather than simply throwing us into a toxic relationship, the series takes its time to show us why Haein became the person he is today.

Haein’s childhood was absolutely heartbreaking. Growing up under the control of his extremely strict and abusive mother, he was constantly monitored by cameras, locked away and even deprived of food. His mother went as far as taking away his only beloved pet, leaving him completely isolated and traumatised.

Then Taeseo entered his life as his private tutor.

For Haein, Taeseo was more than just a teacher. He was the only person who showed him warmth and kindness during the darkest period of his life. He became the light at the end of a very dark tunnel, someone Haein desperately wanted to hold on to.

Fast forward four years, and that attachment has transformed into a dangerous obsession.

Now wealthy and powerful, Haein finally has the upper hand. He forces Taeseo into a contract where his debt must be repaid through his body. What follows is a twisted relationship filled with control, humiliation, punishment and an undeniable attraction.

At first, Taeseo absolutely hates everything about his situation. Being restrained, tied up, subjected to painful treatment and having toys used on him is something he never imagined experiencing, especially at the hands of his former student. His resentment towards Haein is intense, but as the story progresses, those feelings slowly become more complicated.

What begins as hatred and resentment gradually develops into attraction and eventually love.

And that is what makes this series so fascinating to watch. Their relationship is far from healthy, and I certainly would not romanticise this behaviour in real life, but as a fictional dark romance, it is incredibly compelling. The power imbalance, obsession, emotional vulnerability and complicated history between these two characters make every episode worth watching.

The acting and chemistry are absolutely phenomenal! Both leads deliver convincing performances, especially during the emotionally intense scenes. You can feel Haein’s obsession and desperation, while Taeseo’s conflicting emotions make their relationship even more interesting.

I also have to praise the storytelling. From the opening episode to the carefully placed flashbacks, everything kept me invested. Despite having 58 short episodes, the series never felt boring or repetitive. Every episode made me want to immediately watch the next one.

Just imagine the potential if this had been developed into a full length BL drama with longer episodes, a bigger budget and even more time to explore the characters. The foundation is already incredible!

Final Verdict: 10/10

I genuinely loved everything about Teacher, It’s Time to Pay Me Back. The unique storyline, dark psychological elements, BDSM themes, emotional flashbacks, fantastic acting and explosive chemistry all came together to create something unforgettable.

This is definitely not your typical sweet and fluffy BL. It is dark, toxic, disturbing and filled with obsession, but that is exactly what makes it stand out from so many other series.

Having watched so many BLs this year, I can confidently say this is one of my absolute favourites and easily the best short vertical BL I have seen.

58 episodes in one sitting, and I still wanted more. That alone should tell you how addictive this series is!

If you enjoy dark romance, morally complicated characters, intense chemistry and unconventional BL storylines, you absolutely need to put this on your watch list!

A well deserved 10/10!

A story of growth, choices and letting go

In this ocean of negative reviews let me write a more detailed and mature review because it really doesn’t deserve this rating. Kdrama fans are so cruel sometimes and I really don’t see the reason. It wasn’t a cringe boring romcom so I don’t understand all this rage.

I genuinely enjoyed this drama. It wasn’t perfect, and there were moments when some of the characters frustrated me, but overall, it was an emotional and worthwhile watch.

My biggest issue was the female lead. I found her confusing, unpredictable, and sometimes quite frustrating. I understand that she was going through a personal crisis, questioning herself, her career, and what she really wanted from life. However, her uncertainty affected the lives of the two men around her. She seemed unable to make a clear choice while also struggling to accept the possibility of losing either of them.

What bothered me most was that she sometimes appeared to want the security of having someone by her side without being ready to fully commit to him. I believe there is a difference between loving someone deeply as a friend, almost like family, and loving them romantically. These feelings shouldn’t be confused, especially when another person’s heart is involved.
That said, I did appreciate her development towards the end. She eventually took a step back, acknowledged certain things and had some genuinely beautiful conversations with him. I wouldn’t say she became my favourite character, but I could understand her better by the end.

The male lead, however, was the character I connected with the most. His devotion, patience and willingness to put others before himself made him very easy to sympathize with. At times, I honestly felt he deserved more than what he was receiving emotionally.

I particularly enjoyed seeing him develop a connection with the other female lead. Their relationship felt more natural, balanced and healthy. There was something refreshing about watching him interact with someone without all the emotional baggage and uncertainty of his previous relationship. I was genuinely happy when he returned to her and finally allowed himself to pursue something that could make him happy, too. Their kiss was one of my favourite moments!

I also liked that the drama didn’t necessarily force the original leads to become complete strangers. When two people have shared so much of their lives, it isn’t always realistic or necessary to erase each other completely. Sometimes, people simply become more distant, while still keeping a certain affection and respect for one another. I found that outcome quite realistic.

As for the workplace storyline, I think it had potential and added another interesting dimension to the drama. However, some parts felt a little complicated and could have been explained or developed better. I would have liked a more satisfying resolution to certain aspects of the company conflict.

The final episode was particularly emotional for me. I actually found myself crying along with the characters. I appreciated the way the different emotional journeys came together, even though the final few minutes felt somewhat ambiguous. I would have preferred a slightly clearer ending, but I can appreciate the intention behind leaving some things open to interpretation.

What I ultimately took from this drama is that love isn’t always about ending up together. Sometimes, people are important parts of our lives, but that doesn’t mean they are necessarily the right romantic partners for us. Growing up also means recognizing the difference, making difficult choices and allowing ourselves and others to move forward.

Overall, this was a drama with some frustrating character decisions, a few storytelling weaknesses and an ending that could have been more conclusive. Nevertheless, it made me laugh, cry, reflect and genuinely care about its characters.

It may not be a masterpiece, but it was definitely worth watching.

Sun Qian Carried

I really like how the thriller plot was the main point of the show. Like we got romance moments and they were really sweet but the actual plot was quite intriguing. I think the main set back of this show is Huang Jingyu's emotional acting. I think he was great in every aspect of the show except when it came to more vulnurable moments with the female lead. In those moments his face kind of looked blank or stiff like wood. I think in real life he probably just reacts that way but in the show you really can not tell he is in love until he speaks like it was genuinly frying me at times. Sun Qian would be crying then his face would barely show emotion maybe just a frowning brow.

Sun Qian on the other hand was so so good. Her cry is genuiently so heartbreaking it sounded so realistic. Like when I cry its like that she had all the whimpering sounds down and such a good sad face. So in the romantic moments she really carried it.

My one problem was the logic of the killer (SPOILER): I thought the logic of Wan Qing was so dumb. Like why would he kill everyone close to her but not Jiang Chengyi. He wanted to get with her so the most logical kill would be him no? Everytime he killed someone she just became closer with Chengyi. I also thought the Jiang Chengyi's mom was dumb asf. I get that she wanted to get close with him but I hated how she was begging everyone to do shit for her. Give him time and try to think about it from Wan Qiangs perspective lady.

Anyways overall this pacing kinda reminds me of TVB style dramas. Like its fun to watch but not addicting so it was a fun show to pass time. Overall I had a good time.

A raw and unfiltered look at the messiness of life love and connections.

Between steps ( metaphor) : is the gap that represents the moments of doubt, risk, and transition where you have left where you were, but have not yet arrived at where you are going.
*
*


This is the kind of series that demands a reaction; it either draws you in completely or leaves you entirely indifferent, leaving no middle ground.

Directed by the late, acclaimed Director Ahn (Something in the Rain, One Spring Night ), the series is a masterclass in purposeful storytelling, clearly crafted for a specific audience that appreciates depth over spectacle.

The story follows Park Minjae, a former swimmer whose life was irrevocably changed by a leg amputation due to a tumor. He eventually crosses paths with Lim Youjin, a former fashion major who transitions into an engineering team to find a new sense of purpose. What follows is not a grand, high-stakes drama, but a beautifully mundane exploration of two people navigating the complexities of existence, relationships, and identity.

The strength of the show lies in its refusal to sugarcoat reality. It dives headfirst into the uncomfortable: the prejudices surrounding disabilities, the weight of social norms, and the friction of differing views on love and work. There are no traditional villains here; instead, there are simply flawed, human beings navigating life's messy intersections.

The performances are exceptional. Choo Young-woo portrays Minjae with a quiet, soulful intensity, conveying a lifetime of hidden pain and quiet resilience even when he is silent. Kim So-hyun is equally brilliant as Youjin. While some viewers may initially find her directness or persistence polarizing, her character arc is a profound study in growth. She is a "go-getter" who loves hard and makes mistakes, embodying the irritability and passion of someone truly living through change.

The central relationship is a fascinating study in contrasts. As Minjae and Youjin move from strangers to partners, the show explores the friction caused by their different "languages of love" his reserved, subtle approach versus her bold, unapologetic affection. The series doesn't shy away from the reality of their struggles, including insecurity and communication breakdowns, following their journey through the nuances of dating and even the complexities of a breakup...and eventual reconciliation.

Between steps offers you a front-row seat to a life that feels real. It is emotional, uncomfortable, and occasionally frustrating, yet deeply understandable. Coupled with stunning direction and a beautiful OST, it is a poignant reminder that sometimes the most profound stories are found in the quiet, everyday moments of human connection.

If you are looking for a series that favors emotional honesty and character depth over grand plot twists, Between steps is an absolute must-watch.

Very interesting ?

I honestly thought I wouldn't like this drama, so watching it wasn't even on my radar. But then I came across a TikTok review saying it was actually a really good romance drama, and well... I couldn't resist giving it a try.

And now? I have such a love-hate relationship with it 😂.

First of all, I have absolutely NOTHING to complain about when it comes to the acting. It's amazing! And the writing? The dialogue? WOW. Everything flows so naturally. No awkward pauses, no weirdly forced conversations, no unnecessary dragging. The characters actually talk like real people! I genuinely thought they had forgotten how to make dramas like this anymore. I'm seriously impressed.

BUT THE STORYLINE? Oh boy. GIRL. 😭

Why do you have to be the one to confess your feelings first?! And not just that, why does it feel like EVERY first move comes from her? I mean, if you watch the drama, you'll understand why she acts the way she does, and it does make sense in the context of the story. But still... I can't help feeling a little frustrated 😂.

And then there's the professor...

I'm not even going to lie, I would absolutely watch an entire romantic kdrama about the female lead and the professor. HAHA. There's definitely something interesting about their dynamic, and honestly? I wouldn't even be mad if they ended up together. 👀 Or maybe I would. I mean, he does give off slightly creepy vibes . But there's something about their interactions that makes me curious.

So yeah, here I am, completely impressed by the quality of this drama while simultaneously questioning the romantic decisions of its female lead 😭😂.

But then again, I'm such a mama bear when it comes to these things. I just feel like a man should know what he wants and actually go after it. And yes, I KNOW it's complicated for him. I understand his struggles, his circumstances, and why he might be hesitant. I'm not saying his feelings aren't genuine.

BUT COME ON 😭

At some point, I just want to see him take the initiative! Give me a man who knows what he wants, who isn't afraid to show it, and who makes the woman feel like she's worth pursuing. Is that really too much to ask? 😂

Maybe that's just the romantic in me. I love a good slow burn, I love complicated emotions, and I can appreciate a realistic relationship. But I also want that moment when the male lead finally stops overthinking everything and makes it crystal clear that he wants HER.

Still, the fact that I'm this emotionally invested probably says a lot about how well-written this drama actually is 😂 .

I'm frustrated but I'm impressed!

So I guess the drama is doing something right.

Noble lady

This is certainly an entertaining 30 episodes, but it is also a fundamentally flawed story in many of the key departments, whether writing, acting or directing. Expect a lot of plot holes and sudden turnarounds, which make for some great watching while you enjoy lunch or dinner, but don't expect something pithy that will stay with you for long after. Tian Xiwei does a much more successful job at immersing herself in the total chaos and melodrama that is this script, but unfortunately Yan An is much too stiff and bland to make much of an impression. Fortunately, the drama does not need the romance to stay mostly afloat - it's the bananas crazy plot that really carries this drama. Although, I'd have to say the last 15 minutes or so really just came out of nowhere and was unnecessary.

The price when you are a Noble

Having just finished this series, I must say while the story had some lapse, it moved very fast and every episode was full of action, drama. High marks for the overall Production as everything from settings, costumes were all visually beautiful. All the actors did an amazing job and form the series comment stream shows the amount of emotions the characters were able to relay.

The series kind of has 3 main plot lines with the first (who is She) one being the most intriguing, it then becomes Noble / Court politics heavy. I know the 'Romance' couple part of this show is a big draw but there is limited sparks here. It has enough to keep people happy who watch for the couple / romance aspect and it doesn't go overboard. There is little to no other romantic relationships outside established marriages.

I found the music that is sprinkled in the series is enjoyable and fits the theme. Overall a very well polished series.
