A show for a non imaginative viewer. Waste of good acting

Let me contribute to give this 9.2 show the rating it truly deserves. I gave it a 3. 2 stars for two amazing actors and 1 star for good OSTs.

This is literally my first review, I wouldnt mind to make one anywhere but I just had to considering it's just such an insult to mislead people to open MDL and see that this show is above 9.

16 episodes of one dimensional writing, unintelligent dialogue and literally zero character arc or development. This is not hating I swear. But I imagine that if you watch this show with your eyes open it might just be the best romcom ever then you suddently open your brain and start to see many missing components of a story. A short sighted story but the writer decided to confuse viewers that it's a long one. From the leads to the supporting characters we never know anything about the characters themselves because they dont share with other characters or the viewers atleast, their humane thoughts.

Kdramas really need to stop with their murder mystery as the conflict or else i'm gonna lose it. This drama did not even bother to give the villain a motivation nor any background. He's just labeled as psycopathic but it's literally just an excuse for lazy writing. Moving on.

Hidden Gem of 2024

Gave it a 10 to boost the ratings quite more for it deserves it.

This is a drama that wasnt even in my radar for dramas this year and only saw it here in mdl as well. Genuinely I could not express how much this type of dramas are heartwarming of the way they portray romance. This drama is definitely equal slight close in terms of maturity and romance themes alongside Love Like the Galaxy, one of the few chinese costume dramas that still holds up till this day.

If you appreciate great and coherent storytelling where the scriptwriter definitely took time to craft the events, this is the show for you. Story and character arcs did not feel rushed because of this. Speaking of characters, despite the show having 6 notable characters, 3 couples, the drama made sure to give audience an idea and set individuality to each so the romance between couples and their conclusion did not feel forced unlike most costume dramas I've seen this and past years. I appreciate this. Surprising favorite character i've had in this show is the Empress, a really interesting empress/character I've seen in a while in cdramas.

Only downside is that it ended actually damn. Amazing drama and might've saved costume dramas in 2024 as of right now.

Best short kdrama this year

Faith in good kdramas restored with this one. Ive recently been leaning towards more cdramas since lately it has been hitting and a lot of kdramas have either been ridiculous or a once a year release that ends up being memorable like this one. Last year was Twinkling Watermelon for me and this year was Mr. Plankton.

It's just good to have a tragic story that doesnt really impose itself as one, no forceful emotional scenes, no dragging and is just well written. Characters are not forgotten in the story, and made to connect with each other to correct and conclude their stories. There's also this majestic ahh OST that plays in some scenes and I think this made this drama more heartfelt and real. Story is coherent, not dragged and the destination was as expected but it didnt bore me one bit. Outstanding storytelling.

It took 11 months for kdrama gods to give birth to something good but yes, best kdrama this year btw
