Nothing special, but charming

This is a classic story of the cold ML in a high position (this time the leader of the supreme court) who falls for a quirky girl while uncovering a sinister plot.
In this case, the execution is quite charming with many funny and romantic moments and the main couple have reasonable chemistry. Overall the acting is ok.
Most of the characters are quite one-dimensional as there isn’t much room for character development in a short-length drama. The character of the FL is annoyingly inconsistent. In the first episode she is made to look like a top-notch assassin, only to turn into a damsel in distress for most of the following episodes. We are shown that she has martial arts training, yet she never uses any of it, but instead clings to the ML like a helpless girlie.

nice but could be more

This short series had like UNDER THE POWER vibe but the FL here was more soft and flawed. It's nice. Frankly not that intriguing like UTP but didn't bore me or I'm just bored with my life.

Having a FL timid character was a change that I kinda like about this series. Her moral is lit, maybe that's why I stayed.

Actually, there's nothing bad about this one. Pure entertainment for 3 hrs. The plot is simple and as good as past time. Like the side characters here hehe, the couple was unique.

Overall, not bad. Happy ending!

This is a fast paced nice miniseries within a historical setting. The cast did a good job, for the most part, as the characters worked together against the antagonists. There are a lot of comedic moments and good camaraderie. The leading couple had a nice playful chemistry but they fell short performing their intimate romantic scenes. Overall, the drama has a decent plot that develops very quickly and it is a nice watch that, since it is a miniseries, doesn’t have dragging moments and complicated entanglements among the characters.
