Alright but nothing mind-blowing

Well, I'm writing this review, cause no one is :).

I'm in two minds about this show. I think we often feel like the Korean bls have a lot to offer, but yeah, they are always quite short. I honestly didn't mind the short runtime in the previous ones, but in this one, it was extremely visible. I felt like these 80 minutes weren't enough for this story and thus it was pretty rushed, especially towards the end (and at the very beginning).
Story: I like the idea of the story, it would be interesting in a longer series, but here I felt like nothing really happened.
Acting/Cast: I think the cast was amazing, and their acting performance didn't disappoint. I felt the chemistry, so yeah, I was very sattisfied with this.
Music: I didn't really notice the music until the last episode, where I really liked the song used, so that was nice.
Rewatch value: I think this is a good show for binge-watching, but maybe only for once? I'm leaving my door open though.
Overall: Maybe I had too high expectations of it, because I'm used to amazing historical Chinese dramas. However, I liked the vibe of the series - it was light-hearted and nothing serious and dramatic, so if that's what you're looking for, this might be a show for you :).
