The plot was great! The romance was not rushed or anything and there were many cute moments between Si Tu Mo and Gu Wei Yi. The height difference was so cute! I liked how Gu Wei Yi realized his feelings for Si Tu Mo before she did! The scenes at the laboratory were really funny. The laboratory turned into Give Gu Wei Yi Dating Tips. I liked how you could sometimes see the scenes from different point of views. The ending was not very satisfying though. It skips a few years to where you could see their kid, but that was only about 5 minutes. Other than that, the plot was very well developed.

Fair Xing did a great job at acting the role of Si Tu Mo. She is one of my favorite actresses. Lin Yi is actually 5 years younger than her, but their acting was great! There was actually chemistry between the leads. In the beginning, Fu Pei was a really annoying character, but as the drama went on, he became really likable. He and Wang Shan really deserve each other. I felt bad for the Senior at the lab. She liked Gu Wei Yi, but didn't try to sabotage his relationship. She really deserves someone.

The animal sounds effects were adorable.

What a ride this has been! It hooks you in even from episode one. This drama will make you laugh and cry. If you are in need of some comedy, this is for you. You will laugh in every episode. At first, I found myself hesitant to watch because historical dramas are not my cup of tea. Surprisingly, I really liked this one, so even if you don't particularly fancy historical dramas, I still recommend you to try this out. I think it's well paced and none of the plot is dragged.

The acting is top notch. Shin Hye Sun (who played Kim So Yong) did an amazing job. Kim Jung Hyun (who played King Cheoljong) did a great job as well. I noticed he was also in Crash Landing On You and did a great job there.

The ending was a bit iffy. The king fell in love with Jang Bong Hwan, not Kim So Yong. How did he not notice that the queen was different? I wasn't satisfied, nor did I think that the ending was so terrible. I liked how Bong Hwan's presence in So Yong's body made her more independent.

The music (OST) is pretty good, especially Bong Hwan A. It's the only one that stuck on my mind. The side romance is also on point. I really liked the romance between the Head Chef and Court Lady Choi. Rewatch value is 10/10. In fact, I rewatched it a month after I finished it.

If you are debating whether to watch this or not, do it! I definitely recommend this. You won't regret it. Hope this helped you. Let me know if it did. :)

The romance is slow paced, you will have to watch a good amount of episodes to see the romance bloom. I think that this drama is pretty short (only 24 episodes), compared to the other, longer dramas I've watched. The romance between the second leads (Yun Lan & Lu Yu, Gao Zi Yi & Lin Nuo) weren't as planned and exciting as the leads' were. They broke up too much, and Gao Zi Yi and Lin Nuo were a little toxic to each other. Yes, I supported them, but Gao Zi Yi is a little childish sometimes. And Lin Chu Chu? Can't she understand that Zhang Sinian is married? Ugh she tries too hard. Honestly, I expected the ending scene to skip forward a few years and show the leads with a child, but that wasn't the case. I liked that the ending scene included Ye Ye (Grandpa).

I had my eyes on Miles (ML) after I saw him casted in My Amazing Boyfriend 2. I noticed that he pretty much always plays a second lead, so I was a little surprised when he was a main lead in this drama. I haven't heard of Xu Ruo Han (FL) before. I checked her page and she's a new actress. I hope to see more of both of them in the future! The other characters had great people casted as them, I was not disappointed.

Nothing really stood out to me, but I guess it was okay.

I just watched this, so it's still fresh in my mind. Personally, I couldn't watch the whole drama over again because I would know everything that would happen. But maybe later, I'll rewatch some scenes that I really liked.

Overall, this is a great drama! I didn't have to skip any entire episodes (like I do for some other dramas). Highly recommended!

I haven't read the Webtoon, so I don't know exactly how different the drama is, but I love this drama! I'm only recently into k dramas, but I feel like I should have started watched them sooner.

As for the story, here's a questionable amount of accidental contact in the beginning. Like, that doesn't happen often in real life. And also how does the FL have flawless, smooth skin with her makeup on? It's not that easy make your skin look smooth with makeup when you have acne/ pimples. I loved the bromance and how the ML and Seojun got back on good terms. I experienced second lead syndrome with Seojun. He handled the news that the ML and FL were dating calmly and didn't try to sabotage them. On the other hand, that is not the case with Kang Soo Jin. She tried to sabotage them and even exposed the FL's secret.

Don't worry, there's character development. Kang Soo Jin's parents divorced at the end of the drama and she got a reality check. The FL's mother was a jerk in the first half of the drama, but after she found out she was bullied, she treated her nicer and supported her dream.

And honestly, the FL isn't ugly. She just needs to take care of her skin.

Yes, this drama is cliche (cold, arrogant male falling in love with his secretary), but that did not ruin my views on the drama. To be honest, I was skeptical about watching this drama, but I'm glad I did. This drama is tagged as law, but it doesn't focus that much on it. There are actually kisses (that happen several times, not just once). The drama is well paced; with very episode you learn something that you didn't know in the previous episode. The romance is sweet and refreshing and I enjoyed it very much.

One thing I was not satisfied with that the ML broke up with the FL because the FL was going to become famous again. Why is the fact the a celebrity is dating someone so scandalous, especially in China and Korea? Done't worry, they get back together soon.

The cast is well put together. I watched a few episodes of Goblin and the leads in this drama are a side couple there. Oh Jung Se (who's casted as CEO of Always Law Firm) is Moon Sang Tae in It's Okay Not To Be Okay. I really enjoyed It's Okay Not To Be Okay (even more than this one!). Oh Eui Shik (who's casted as the FL's manager) did a great job in True Beauty as well.

I would watch this again. If you are reading reviews asking yourself if you should watch this or not, yes! Of course, this is not the best drama, but it never hurts to try. If you decide that this drama is not your cup of tea, some really great k dramas (that I feel are better than this one, in the order of my favorites) are Mr. Queen, It's Okay Not To Be Okay, Hotel Del Luna, Tale of the Nine Tailed, and Crash Landing On You.

I hope my review helped you, and if it did, because click the "yes" button below this when it asks you if this was helpful. I'd love to see how many people I've helped. Hope you have a great day ~

On the first episode, this drama hooked me, but towards the end, the drama dragged on and made me lose interest. The main leads had were prefect for each other and had chemistry. The FL's best friend was also pleasant to watch, especially at the beginning, when the ML thought that the FL and her were part of a "social minority".

There was character development, especially with Cindy. She was annoying in the beginning, but slowly she became less annoying and more funny. Also, I don't get why Ms. Choi (ML's friend) was included the drama. She was also annoying, trying to sabotage the leads' relationship.

I don't think I could rewatch unless a long time has passed, but I do recommend. It's not the best drama, but it's not the worst either. Either you like it, you don't, or you only like some of it (most likely the beginning).
