I really enjoyed this drama at first, but the closer I got to the middle, the less it worked for me. As I was also reading the source novel alongside my watch, I noticed that the original story places more emphasis on palace and political intrigue, as well as deeper internal reflection on past regrets. In comparison, the drama adaptation shifts more strongly toward the central romance, with the political elements taking more of a background role. Because of that, I personally felt less connected to the direction the story took over time, and I eventually decided to drop it around episode 20.

Overall, it just wasn’t my cup of tea, even though I appreciated the premise and the early setup.
