Reviews
A pleasant surprise!
I started watching to kill time in-between episode drops for my regular dramas. I'm glad I did.Interesting story line, and pretty well-executed. No dragging or tropey scenes. The chemistry between the ML & FL was cute, and the other players were pretty good too. The story didn't have too many loose ends or holes, and everything wrapped up nicely in the end. I wish the villains had gotten a little more Karma, but even that was done with finesse.
Can we talk about the ML? I liked him a lot and look forward to seeing him in other dramas. He wasn't wooden or clumsy - looked calm and reserved when he needed to, but innocent when he had to be. Loved some of his expressions when the FL took the lead and romanced him.
I'm liking these detective-type storylines, and this was entertaining to see the characters work together to figure things out, look for clues, and let the situations play out.
Re-watch? A definite maybe when I'm looking for something to fill my time, because I didn't have to fast forward through any of it!
Crime-solving short show that is actually a hidden gem.
This is actually a hidden gem. The crime-solving storyline is interesting and exciting - somewhat different from most short shows these days. I love how the case gets unraveled and how the investigation brings about some big twists and turns.Character wise: We get this smart but cute FL who is dead set on marrying ML. ML is very clever and an excellent investigator - and definitely not up for marrying anyone else but FL. There are a few other interesting characters that play huge roles in this story like the general, the emperor and the Queen but the short format sets a limit to the number of characters and individual stories.
Acting wise this is a very good show. The actors are rather skilled. Only thing is that the chemistry between the leads isn’t quite there and I was only certain of ML's love for FL after he told her directly that he was serious about her. It’s not uncommon that the chemistry is lacking in short shows but it’s always a shame because it gets the viewer less committed to the characters.
Anyway, if you love a good crime-solving story with a sprinkle of romance, this is well worth watching.
