Damsel in distress number 856374552391297467325523615646

I came here after watching "Imperial coroner", my personal favorite c-drama so far. It was suggest in these reviews and comments all around MDL and you tube how this drama has strong, smart and capable female lead. And that 4 people are working as a team, just as in "Imperial coroner". So, my conclusion was that FL is the center of this drama and she is the one pulling strings.

But NO!
FL is far from strong and far from capable. ML (who is kind and best bf/husband material in the world) is the one who always solve cases and he is the strong one. FL is only capable for 2 things: 1) to get angry on ML for no reason and 2) to constantly get saved, over and over, by ML. She just can't do anything right an she can't save herself when she is in trouble. She is a paradigm for what we call "damsel in distress". There is minimum one saving per episode! Annoying and boring because we have seen it so many times. Hated this with all my heart.

To top it all, actress can't really act. She has like 2 expression for the whole drama: 1) blank and 2) I stepped on something smelly. And her cross dressing is soooo unbelievable.
ZLH did decent job considering this was his first acting job. Hope he will take acting lessons and improve, because (I have to admit), I like him a lot.

Cases they solve are "OK", but not up to Holmes name.
