Who wants to watch another Gender-bender drama? Me, that's who! Although I keep thinking how in the world do the females they cast pass as males is beyond me, but I digress. I admit I watched this show mainly for Zhang Ling He as he was really good in LBFAD. I've seen Sebrina before in "My Unicorn Girl" and she is definitely better here, as in she shows a little bit more personality.

Drama-wise, I must say that I liked the mystery-solving here so much better than the forced romance. Although there's a lot of skinship between the ML & FL, I didn't feel their chemistry. It looks like they are just going through the motions (especially on the FL's part). The secondary couple was worse and their acting quite atrocious. But aside from this, the plot isn't that convoluted and easy to follow (so easy in fact to guess who the suspects are right from the get-go).

The drama also tries to convince you that the evidence they produce aren't purposefully planted that only their merry band of investigators could find them. You would have to suspend your disbelief as well that the Prince walking around as freely as he pleases without much anyone recognizing him is possible. Aside from these convenient loop holes, this drama was a decent watch.
