Overall for a low budgeted drama, it was able to deliver the story with twist and the questions were answered in between and towards the end. Kudos to the writers!
Story:
This is not your typical girl meets boy, girl falling on their feet, boy catching the girl, looking into each other's eyes and falling in love. Romance in this story is considered a bonus. You can be swept away by the actions of the ML. It is a slow burn romance and makes you want for more at the end of the season for the couple.
The genre of the drama is more on mystery /crime solving / political. The story is about the rise of the FL despite the hardship she endures as a child being a female, illiterate and daughter of a concubine. Meeting a boy during the lowliest time of her life, giving her hope and encouragement to obtain her dreams and goal.
6 yrs later they meet again and that's where the actual story begins. The struggles within the imperial court, the mystery of the death of the ML and the way the FL overcome the obstacles in her life together with the ML.
ML was actually mean to the FL in the early episodes but after he gets to know that she is the girl he saved, everything changes. Of course both of their issues need to be resolved to be able to be together with the strength and the promise of their love. So if you're into fluff ending this is not. LOL
ACTORS:
The chemistry between the main leads is off the charts. You can feel it with their looks, smiles and bickering.
ML was able to convey the emotions from being an A**Ho*le in the beginning to a swoon worthy ML with the piercing looks and smiles and tears. (makes you want for more romance scenes) but all in all it was conveyed real good.
FL initially was irritating but it's the role she played and was conveyed good as well. In the end you also feel her struggles and triumphs as the story continues.
Music,
OST are good. The music were placed properly in each scenario.
Rewatch Value.
Definitely would watch it again. Especially the more on the limited "fluff" scenes.
Overall:
I would still give it a 10. The drama involves you emotionally from the beginning to the end. Making you think with the mystery and hoping for a different ending on the romance part.
The ending for me is good, considering the story. It leaves you an ending depending on your wild imagination. As a mentioned this is not your typical boy meets girl romance
I only hope there will be a special edition to fulfill the wish of the viewers on the development of the romance between the couple for a detailed happy ending as writers.
