What can I say? The series is definitely the genre that I enjoy the most however this series in particular was just OK. I want to say that the series itself was unique and somewhat interesting however there were some characters that were extremely annoying. Sadly, it was the FL whom the series is focused on.

Overall plot: The series revolves around a female lead. She is most certainly part of a big plot. Unfortunately at the beginning of the plat she loses her memory and forgets all about it. This is where the story begins. I love that it revolves around intelligence. The schemes weren’t simple. The were orchestrated in a way that you knew required planning and smart moves. That alone make it enjoyable. I think our ML was most definitely the star here and really carried the show. Although some of the scenes went deep into fantasy, it was good.

The overall concept was interesting however the FL character was frustrating. Explain further I really do enjoy a wide genre films but I absolutely dislike any film or series that has a character who comes off is snobby, immature and ungrateful. And this is exactly what the female lead was. She was cute but her character wasn’t. From episode 1 to 15, the male lead saves her over and over again and she disregards him and treats him like a villain/bad guy. Not to mention she loses her memory and can’t remember anyone but she does this. Imagine You rescue someone 4 times and each time they turn their nose up at you and folds their arms ( this was her for 15 episodes).

After episode 15, it gets much better.although we still running into some of the old habits.

There were so many loopholes and utterly unrealistic things you just cringe but you keep watching because you hope it gets better. This goes on until the end. There is also a series titled the prince of landing. I only assumed that it was the effort to link the two however there is no connection between the two and to be honest the prince of lan ling is absolutely better than this one. If you get a chance watch it.

Is it romantic? Nope
Do we get a smooth sailing couple? Nope
Is it funny? Yes, but it wasn’t on purpose.
Is it a good pace? Absolutely
Rewatch: Not completely, maybe if you’re really bored.
Do I recommend it? Not as a romantic piece.
Did I fast forward: many many times.
Is it worth it? Yes because there are good moments.
