nice and sweet historical series focusing on romance, and an adorable CP

If you need some sweetness, don't hesitate !

PLOT:
The legitimate daughter of a high general, the FL, flees from an arranged marriage with the Regent Prince, the ML. She meets him by chance when he is on an incognito mission, trying to escape the multiple assassinations that are being planned against him. The FL's (illegitimate) sister marries him in her place, to be close to the 2nd Prince (the ML2) whom she loves unilaterally, because the ML2 love the FL. The FL comes to the Court, as a servant, to save her sister (the FL2) from this situation. But things become complicated when the FL becomes the personal servant of the regent Prince, and they both fall in love. Nevertheless the situation is complex and they are tossed around by events and the Court's affairs.

PROS:
+ Two very good leads, even if it's the 1st ML's drama. FL's character is childish, but she's supposed to be very young...
+ Well-developed 2dary characters, including the very endearing CL2 (Guard and Princess).
+ The tone is quite light and there are many funny scenes.
+ Classic OSTs, not memorable.
+ The settings, the costumes are magnificent, and the action scenes (quite rare because the focus is on romance and the Court) are credible.
+ 34 episodes of 40 minutes, that's enough!

CONS:
- the narration is a little slow sometimes.
- the final resolution of all the problems is a bit hasty.

=> Light and cute series, with 2 promising young leads.

PLOT:
La fille légitime d'un haut général, la FL, fuit un mariage arrangé avec le Prince Héritier, le ML. Elle le rencontre quand il est en mission incognito, tentant d'échapper aux multiples assassinats qui sont ourdis contre lui. La sœur (illégitime) de la FL se marie à sa place, pour être proche du 2nd Prince (le ML2) qu'elle aime unilatéralement, le ML2 aimant la FL. La FL vient à la Cour, comme servante, pour sauver la FL2 de cette situation. Mais les choses se compliquent qd la FL devient la servante personnelle du ML, et que tous les 2 tombent amoureux. Mais la situation est complexe et ils sont ballotés par les évènements et les affaires de la Cour.
PROS:
+ Deux très bons leads, même si c'est le 1e drama du ML. La FL est puérile, mais elle est supposée être très jeune...
+ Des personnages 2daires bien développés, y compris le CL2, très attachant.
+ Le ton est assez léger et il y a beaucoup de scènes drôles.
+ OST classiques, pas mémorables.
+ Les décors, les costumes sont magnifiques, et les scènes d'action (assez rares car le focus est sur la romance et la Cour) sont crédibles.
+ 34 épisodes de 40 minutes, c'est assez !
CONS:
- la narration est un peu lente par moments.
- la résolution finale de tous les problèmes est un peu hâtive.
=> Série légère et cute, avec 2 jeunes leads prometteurs.
