It's good.

(This review contains slight spoilers from episodes 1)

I've watched the first 6 episodes, and I'm really enjoying it so far. The beginning wasn't the best; it was a bit confusing and even made me angry at some points. Ak Hee (the evil spirit) erasing FL's memories didn't sit well with me, but I warmed up to the character later on. I hope there's an apology for his past behavior.

Distinguishing between the Crown Prince and the evil spirit can be challenging, but I'm slowly getting the hang of it and can now tell who is currently in control. The female lead is amazing and strong on her own. I love her character. The Crown Prince also has my appreciation; there was a brief moment in episodes 5 and 6 where he was a bit unlikable, but the issue was swiftly resolved, and I understood his actions.

The acting is outstanding! The male lead portrays both characters uniquely, making them similar yet distinct—it's truly amazing. The female lead's performance, especially in her fighting scenes, is impressive. Some might criticize the wigs, and while I agree that in some scenes, they aren't perfect, it's not something that bothers me.

The chemistry between the male and female leads is definitely there. So, I wholeheartedly recommend this drama. Give it a shot at least until episode 4, it significantly improves from there if the first 3 episodes didn't fully grab you. Personally, episode 5 stood out as my favorite. It showcased the charm of both Ak Hee and the Crown Prince, as well as the female lead's strong independence.


Edit: I dropped it because I got second lead Syndrom SO bad. Fl fell for original ml but I started liking Ak Hee more. They have more chemistry and more cuter scenes in the beginning. I’m sorry, I couldn’t continue watching after seeing him in pain.
