Very good comedy
FL and ML very good acting. FL's comedy is at the highest level, her gestures and facial expressions are great. The film is very well paced. there's always something going on. The action takes place on many levels. Very good action. the hour passes very quickly. Great contemporary music. When you watch it, it seems that you are in the ancient and modern world. and to think that until 1894 aristocratic widows could not remarry. It's a film about women crossing boundaries - it was like that in the past and it's still like that today.Cet avis était-il utile?

Cute, funny but not world altering
Disclaimer: I’ve only seen a few kdramas, so i tend to compare to cdramas.Positives: FL was a great, charismatic and scene stealing actress. She delivered a great performance and conveyed so much without overdoing it. I’m definitely a fan.
So many of the cast were fantastic, truly. The 2FL, the finance minister’s wife, grand merchant, FL’s husband, even the garrison commander’s daughter - these roles and others were all played so well! Personal favorite for me was the royal secretary/older brother of ML. Actually, no, dead husband was hilarious so he wins. The random English non sequiturs had me rolling.
The 2ML/2FL romance really worked for me and I wish we’d seen more of that. The characters were nice and the connection seemed organic, two people surprised at what they had in common and curious to learn more.
Negatives: ML was clearly too young for FL and for me it made their romantic connection a little less believable. Not sure I totally bought their chemistry - tbh I rather preferred her with her dead husband once he showed up. He matched her playfulness and disregard for rules.
Production value was a bit limited considering the FL seemed to be a star from what I learned. Sets were very limited and costumes kind of eh. Yes, I know she wore white almost the whole time but other people could have looked better.
The worst thing for me though was the music. Oh my goodness the music for this show was off the charts terrible. Awful. Lead actress should put veto rights in her contracts. Such bad music. All of it. Obviously this is just my taste.

Unlike other Goreyo story or Joseon drama, this story does not revolve around royal families.
Unlike other Goreyo story or Joseon drama, this story does not revolve around royal families.Lee Han Hee as the widow daughter in law of a prestigious family living a double life makes the story a fun watch. Her enactment as the obedient daughter in law and the masked woman helping people in need adds multiple layer through the storyline. Actions scene portrayed in a subtle note , quirky dialogues of Yeo Hwa makes it look like you are driving a racing car and there is no signal. The scene quickly shifts, thus making audience heart flutter. You never feel like leaving. Lee Jong Won as royal inspector Park Soo Hoo is the new love of the town. He fits in the shoe of child whose identity is a challenge for himself but tries to help Yeon Hwa in helping people in need. He is confident in his skin, which makes the untold romance more soft.
It is the storyline which keeps the audience hooked at first level. The unexpected twists offered by the tale, the subtle chemistry and the background music.....its been a while Korean drama offered such an enigmatic yet poised tale.

Best drama of 2024 so far
A lovely historical about a widow that seeks at night to be a badass hero and her cute, wholesome romance with the STUNNING male lead.things I loved about the drama:
-Despite having intense and maybe sad moments they don't get dragged for long, every hurdle is resolved very quickly so I am never anxious or dreading and it keeps the atmosphere of the drama lighthearted
-the comedy, it's not a comedy that will make you laugh and roll but will keep a smile on your face with the FL antics of acting like the perfect widow infront of her mother in law, when in reality she is far from it ?
-the badass fighting scenes, they are so well done with a lot of action
- the romance, the leads have such an obvious natural chemistry between them tho they can't act on it so it's a bit of a forbidden romance and he is as I said previously stunning/ethereal/magnetic ok you get the point, right? I would risk everything to elope with him so can't blame fl for falling for him!
-every side character had its own job and were well fleshed out and entertaining to watch
What I didn't like :
-That there was no kiss scenes ???????????, mind you this a no physical touch romance and I wanted a final kiss at the very least
-the drama is too short, wanted more of it!

It takes more than Martial Arts to be a Night Courier !
We like a show when it matches with our mindset , ideology and beliefs….!!!!When I imagined myself in place of FL
The contradictory point in this show was that if she was really that smart and daring and open-minded , what was she doing for the past 15 years.
Anyhow,,,, should should’ve found a way to get out of that worthless life.
Maybe because I’ve seen better shows.
But I could not really convince myself that a person who has such great potential to be living a life like that.
I hoped for better !!
