TLDR - Watch it.
I didn't go into watching this with many expectations as im generally not a fan of role reversal. But they used a BAD trope in a very original an likeable way making it better and more real than most all other dramas.
Comedy - I almost rarely find Eastern 'humor' in these shows or novels funny. This has its funny moments. Like the ML in that 'tea house' (or whatever it was ); simply Outrageous. I think i kept saying why is this happening but was chuckling the entire time.
It even has some angst, and political fare. Its really good.
Its main drawback is that it never takes itself overly serious, but that is also its strength. As such it avoids really dumb plots we see associated with trying too hard to make the audience feel bad. So if something bad happens, you can expect a resolution at some point... not a 50 episode slog to see that maybe the character was okay. And right after the resolution to an issue it doesn't have to be the next powerful lady/man who steps up to be the bad guy (the entire show is a great mix of story).
Its just better than 99% of the other shows out there. How it has a 8.0 is a quandary to me. No pretty enough people, not enough fan service? Isn't self hating or depressing? I don't know the reason, i do know its great.
