Dropped halfway
Very relieved after reading some of the bad reviews here because I am one of the people that clearly did not enjoy this drama a single bit. It was so bad that I gave it a chance, and still couldn't finish it.
Although I was not a fan of JJY but her past works on historical dramas are pretty decent and with Joseph Zeng as the ML, everything seems very promising. BUT this show is just so hard to watch with (1) CRAZY second ML and FL that are obsessive and annoying (2) No idea whats charismatic about FL like is she supposed to be smart and charming? because i don't see it. And yet we see so many ML dying to marry her (3) I wasted 20+ episodes seeing 2nd ML go crazy for FL just to be with her and he just couldn't get his shit together (4) Low chemistry between both main leads. Nothing wow about their character and no growth as well.
FINAL VERDICT: no selling point for this drama - if you want romance, there are better romance drama with JJY/Joseph. if you want political dramas, there are many better ones out there too. only watch if you're a die hard fan of the casts if not u will have a heart attack watching it.
