Unique, funny and beautiful!
I love the originality of the idea! For this drama, it actually made sense why the world is not traditionally historical but fantasy historical because FL made it up to begin with. It was so fun to watch ML and FL fall in love with each other and the acting - especially of FL - was amazing! I needed this lighthearted and funny drama.But I can understand why some people might not like it. FL was childish quite a few times (especially in the beginning). But I loved her character development to become smarter and more serious. What bothers me a bit is that although it was really fun to watch, it was still a bit too long. But I think this is a general cdrama issue.

Tasteful and Captivating
A great drama with amazing chemistry between the actors - main couple as well as second couple. Their relationships were really nice to watch and how they handled the very emotional and intense plot was amazing. I could really feel the emotions and I wanted to see more and more.The only down-part is that especially towards the late middle part and ending, they've dragged the plot a lot which was not necessary. I think it also could've worked out with 14 episodes. Some small plot holes were also there but I can overlook them because of the great characters the show provided. The comedy scenes were really tasteful and felt real. Overall, a great drama!

Great with some (strong) weak points
Usually, I'm not a fan of melodrama, but I this one I quite enjoyed. It was intriguing and I was curious where the story would take me. Furthermore, it was great that they kept it at 8 episodes. Often, these dramas run out of ideas and plot and try to drag it to 16 episodes still. The soundtrack was also great. Every time it played, I could really feel that melodrama vibe. The acting of the villain was also phenomenal, I really hated her.One thing putting me off was the wardrobe of FL. While her enemy mostly had stunning dresses, she looked like she had no fashion sense whatsoever. The whole time, I had the feeling that the person who designed her wardrobe had something serious against the actress.
Additionally, FL's revenge "plan" was really weak. I don't even want to call it a plan.
Finally, the ending was really underwhelming and a bit unrealistic. And the final scene, they could've just left out. It was so confusing, I still don't know what even happened there.
