A wild, silly low-budget farce with a nod to feminism . . .

In the theatre style of comedies of old, we have bodily gags, cross dressing, evil cackling villains, and the actors look like they will burst out laughing in every scene. It's a lot of fun for the first 10 episodes, but it drags more and more as all plot points are met with the same delivery.

The gender dynamics kept me from dropping it. The main female lead is bold, a great strategist, and is insightful into the motivations of people. The show makes valid points about the 'woman behind the man' just means that there's tons of talented women adviser and strategists out there that never get their recognition. The male lead recognizes her strengths quickly and finds them intriguing and endearing.

Is it enough? It wasn't for me, I started fastforwarding through scenes or watching out of the corner of my eye. But, to be fair to the show, this is a show that is meant to be watched as you do errands around the house, chat with your family, scroll on your phone. If that's something you need, this could be the show for you.
