Slow-Burn Mystery with Too Much Investigation
I'm not going to write much about this drama because I dropped it after Episode 18.
The story itself isn't bad, but there are just too many investigation cases. It does have romance, and I found the main leads quite compatible. However, their romance doesn't really begin until around Episode 15, so it takes a while to develop. There are also two side couples, which adds a little more variety.
The biggest issue for me was the pacing. The drama starts off well, but it never reached a point where I felt excited to watch the next episode. There weren't many "must-watch" moments that kept me hooked, and eventually it became boring for me.
Another reason I dropped it was because I watched it on YouTube, where it only had French subtitles. I had to rely on auto-translation, and many lines weren't translated properly, which made it even harder to enjoy.
As for the story, the female lead takes on someone else's identity to uncover the truth behind her father's case. He was framed, and she also lost her entire family because of that incident. The male lead is a prince who leads an army, but he's also investigating a case that's connected to the female lead. They eventually begin working together to solve the mystery.
Personally, I would have preferred to see the male lead more on the battlefield than solving investigation cases. He discovers the female lead's true identity, yet he still falls for her. I expected a bit more drama after that revelation, but the show handled it in a more romantic way. I think it worked for many viewers, but by that point, I had already lost interest and ended up dropping the drama.
If you enjoy investigation-heavy historical dramas with a touch of romance rather than a romance-focused story, then this might be worth watching. But don't watch it just because of its high rating. That's exactly why I started it, and unfortunately, it ended up being quite boring for me.
