If you’re into historically heavily female oriented driven cast then this cdrama will be right up you alley. It’s wonderfully written and extremely well acted all around with a more mature written vibe to it. The cinematography and visuals are gorgeous and breathtaking. It does have some bumps here and there in the pacing towards the middle and end felt a bit rushed, but nothing major. The chemistry between the main leads is one of my favorites. The glances, the coy smiles, oof, smexy as heck. It’s definitely a recommendation and a must watch if you love period pieces.

A very original storyline. It’s unique, engaging, entertaining, and has wholesome characters. Seriously the characters are very different and kind it brought a new take to a cdrama that I haven’t seen before. It definitely won’t be for everyone, it’s slow pace and it has a very slow burn romance as well. Despite that the scenery is gorgeous as well as the writing is just as beautifully written.
