A Quality Watch

As of episode 20, these are my thoughts:

High-quality drama with excellent writing, good pacing, exciting plots, positive female roles, gorgeous visuals, top-tier production, and beautiful cinematography. The smart female lead and the warm, supportive female friendships surrounding her make this drama a delight. The way the women overcome mistreatment, misfortune, and injustice is moving. Their strength—inspiring. The tension that builds as the male lead navigates his precarious position as a double agent fighting corruption keeps the drama from becoming estrogen-overload. Action, romance, intrigue—something for everyone.

The slow-burn romance between the lead couple is one of most healthy and healing relationships I’ve seen (at least, as of episode 20). Of course, our male lead is still hiding some key details about himself because of the nature of his work; but, they are still beautiful to watch because of their excellent communication. They don’t allow misunderstandings to drag on too long. She earnestly explains her fears and worries instead of expecting him to read her mind. The male lead truly tries to understand his lady’s vicissitudes, goals, aspirations, and needs. He provides her the emotional security a woman desires and supports her in her endeavors. Their kisses are swoon-worthy and heart-fluttering, yet tastefully done.

Overall, a quality watch thus far!
