This series is proof that even dramas with short episodes can be amazing! This should be on everyone's must watch list.

Though the show has a fantasy element to it with the face swapping, the show is mostly depicting human emotions and relationships and character developments as well. The evil characters are actually grey. The story is actually simple but presented in a wonderful way. The relationship between the main couple is very sweet and will make you smile. The female lead is not powerful per say, but she is not feeble-minded or presented as helpless. She knows how to solve her own problems. The male lead is also intelligent and kind which really shines. The side characters, be it the military adviser, the child, the friend from the brothel house or the head maid, are all lovely and add their own charm to this show. The negative characters also add a very interesting element. I enjoyed the role of the prince quite a lot.

Episode 17 is probably the best. It moves super quick and brings some unexpected insights that tie the whole plot together.

The OST is very memorable and catchy. This is definitely much more than a romance drama with the mystery element but it will give you enough of both.
