The first two episodes were completely introductory, with a lot of characters being introduced at once, which made things feel confusing. However, the third episode was really good and the forth one felt much steadier now that we finally have a clearer picture of what’s going on. Since this is my first drama set in the Ten Kingdoms period, I’m even more excited to see this one!

It’s rare for me to get interested in a romcom set in the Joseon Dynasty. I can probably count the historical dramas I’ve watched on "the fingers of one hand". I gave this one a chance mainly because I really like the actors and unexpectedly I'm enjoying it a lot so far.

And even worse, their will be no express 😭

Only one episode again… please, give us the two-episodes-a-day schedule back 😩😩😩

There’s no express package for this drama, for the remaining four episodes we’ll only be getting one episode per day.

I actually found the third and fourth episodes even better than the first two, which made me really happy. It’s such a relief when a drama improves as it goes on.

I was smiling and giggling all the time. The episode flew by so fast.What a nice start💜!

The cinematography is so captivating! I love the contrast between the game, where snow and cool blue tones dominate, and reality, which is shown through the warm, yellowish colors of Longtang.

The slap Shan Bao gave on Yun Yin in the 18th episode was so satisfyinggg

I don't like the grandmother. She always tries to present herself as a smart person but her lack of critical thinking becomes obvious. As long as someone gives her a well-structured excuse, she immediately believes it without questioning anything. What makes it worse is that she’s fully aware of the antagonism between the sisters, yet she does nothing to address it, almost as if she enjoys watching them fight rather than encouraging harmony. On top of that, it’s frustrating to see how everyone around her constantly tries to please her.

Perfectly said. Unfortunately, this drama struggles with its portrayal of matriarchy and patriarchy. While it presents a powerful, female dominated family, it still embeds patriarchal values such as the presence of concubines and the division into different family branches which ultimately undermine true equality. On top of that, the male characters are noticeably underdeveloped and are mostly reduced to being suitors for the female lead. Their primary function becomes scheming for her attention and marriage often through petty or shallow actions, rather than existing as fully realized individuals.

I just finished episode 34 and only now realized that it’s been ten episodes since the leads confessed their feelings and became a couple. This drama is so enjoyable, I didn’t even notice how quickly the episodes flew by 🌸.

Personally, I had to pause the drama after the lecture scene. I enjoy political themes but I really dislike it when they try to shove in bits of completely unnecessary politics that feel forced and out of place.Like, we get it you want to rely on yourselves. There’s no need to push that message onto the audience.

It honestly felt like a subtle form of propaganda trying to slip by unnoticed, which was really strange. I’m aware of how Chinese censorship works and that context made the whole lecture thing feel so uncomfortable.

I also found that lecture really strange. It felt like it was trying to force real-life trading and business politics into a work of fiction. The whole panel trading situation between the US, the EU and China may have happened in reality, but it was still odd how heavily the drama villainized the West.

The cinematography is so beautiful 💙.

That man honestly deserves this kind of people around him. I hope that his mistress will take all his money and ran away. 🤣

I love their semi awkward moments so much, they're so playful with each other 🩷🥰

Beautiful.

I was giggling throughout the whole drama, it is so cute 🥰
