What I luv:
- The leads’ chemistry, like wow! From the bickering, n even for the funny scenes, their acting together is on point… their comedy parts together were the best for me… especially ML, his comedic’s expression & body language is just spotted on… n his stare… after this, i’m a fan, esp of his voice!
- The leads’s visuals… It always helps that they look good, but ML looks superb in his costume, FL looks best when she had her hair down&long, so pretty…
- The plot is really entertaining, i got hooked from the start n was waiting eagerly for the new eps every week , watching it ontime… that’s how intriguing this drama for me…
- I like the pace, almost no boring moments…
- The screenwriting is good, nothing cheesy…
- The romance part is good! It was slowburn, but the way they started from hating each other to getting know each other n finally totally understand&luv each other was done properly…
- The character development is good too… i hated ML at first, being so judgemental n seemed so heartless, especially to FL… but under that mask, in time he became likable n actually he is just mainly misunderstood… luv his character! FL stays true to her character i guess? As an independent courageous woman… however at some point for me this character is a bit too much… somehow being independent means u have to be selfish n leave someone u luv n luv u back just like that, bye2… with no hesitation n no sign of sadness… that part in the drama i found weird…
- The production is done properly… all aspects r good for me, especially for a supposedly low budget drama like this…
- I always this kinda genre, investigating stuff with some Palace’s chaos…

What’s unsatisfying:
- The last eps! It’s a typical C-drama, where last minute, after everything that went down, halfway thru the last eps, they had to give the last angst that led to separation instead of giving us the happy closures n some sweet moments…
- yes it’s a HE, but reuniting in the last scene with the leads looking at each other in a distance without a hug/kiss is just a bit disappointing… i know a wedding would be too much to ask, but this ending is just… 🙄
- Not a big fan of luv square… i know ML&FL only luv each other, however almost the first half becoz of a misunderstanding, FL was with SML (her ticket to escape her fate) n ML almost marry SFL (he thought SFL was the girl he rescued, but actually it was FL)… but yeah after the misunderstanding is clear, no more unnecessary drama between them…
- YuanLang the villain got away with everything n no punishment in anyway… somehow he ended up not being that evil anymore n climbed on top becoming a Minister…

Anyway, i still really luv it overall… so far my fave drama this year… so i highly recommend it… it’s almost angst free, at least till that last eps… but it’s a HE, so yeah… i hope the leads will get casted together again in a modern drama, will def watch that!
