This happens when you want an absolute happy ending; everything becomes too predictable.

When I first started this drama, I really could not understand why the ratings were so low. The tension was SO good, and this is coming from a person who dislikes enemies to lovers troop. There was always something that kept me on edge. However, after episode 20, everything went downhill fast. It felt like the story just reset. All the tension went down the drain. No matter what danger came, every ending to them was predictable. They even started to explain the slightest plans as if the viewers were dumb. Every character that came after episode 20 were so simple-minded. Their tricks were all so boring. I rather liked the times when they were lowkey enemies, plotting against each other.
The fourth prince's love line was the most unconvincing thing I've ever seen. For a drama that aims for strict politic. They let her bypass A LOT of rules. The ML also become a blind to everything for her sister's requests and discloses everything to her when her mouth is so loose and she herself is short-sighted.
The sound effects were quite comedic at times. It really went against the tone of the drama.
Such a shame for I was crazy for the first 20 episodes of this drama. I continued to the end to see them together but it wasn't very rewarding.
