Rarely do I get a drama where I do not fast forward or skip any scenes. This drama was so good and kept me engaged in every scene, every episode. I watched everything so intensely and did not find the need to skip through at all because the pace, the story, the characters, and the way the plot unfolds was perfect--*chef's kiss*. Similar to what other have said, I started this drama not expecting much and the lead actors are also new to me so I wasn't sure how their skills were, but the drama and the leads both reached and exceeded beyond my expectations!

Usually most long costume dramas (30+episodes) have at least one or two plot holes where something just does not make sense, but I feel like with this drama they did a great job not leaving any plot holes--they also did a great job adding twists to the story that made sense. I loved how each arch was thoroughly laid out and transitioned so that it's interesting, but not confusing to the viewers.

The ML and FL surprised me with how well they acted their roles! They are fresh faces to me and I have to say I am now a big fan of both. Their on-screen chemistry was SO good. Their on-screen romance with each scene was so sweet and full of emotions; they really brought their characters to life. I love the character of FL; she is very smart, resourceful, quick-thinking, and is the type of character that can protect herself well on her own--my favorite type of FL! Makes you feel satisfied watching her lay out her plans.

All in all, this drama is so good that I found myself binge-watching all the episodes within 3-4 days. 100% would re-watch again and again. Definitely my top drama of this year!
