Writing this review after watching it for the second time:

This was such an enjoyable drama to watch, sit back, relax, and enjoy! The misunderstandings and antics here are actually quite hilarious ? The acting is way over-the-top, but it should be easy to see that this is intentional. In my opinion, this is a satire that is absolutely well done.

***If you are looking for something more serious, then you probably won't care for this one.***

The chemistry spice level between the leads is on ?????! I even liked the side story couples which is a rare thing for me.

This is a short and sweet drama (compared to the usual 40+ episodes CDrama) with plenty of laughs along the way. It is absolutely silly, full of ridiculousness, but 200% full of FUN!!! This show doesn't take itself seriously, so neither should you.

The first time I watched this, it took a couple of episodes for me to warm up to the FL character. I think it was because she didn't look believable pretending to be a male. Once I got over that part, I quickly began to enjoy the strength and wits her character possessed.

Hands down though, my favourite characters are what I call the three stooges - her fake father and fake brothers - their buffoonery just killed me???!!!

Also loved the "best assassin in the world" character and the princess, they were such a funny couple.

One complaint that I have is the villain, she really creeped me out. . . I also thought her acting skills were sub-par.

The ending was really funny, I especially liked the micro-expressions between the leads - Liu XuanMing trying to be sneaky and thinking he was pulling one over Zhao Nan but also being indignant and adamantly denying any wrongdoing hahaha.

Be sure to stick around after the last scene for behind-the-scene clips and extra scenes!
