One of the few Chinese dramas that seduced me to watch all existing episodes without fast forwarding. It has the typical palace intrigue, absurd slo mos, childish tantrum-loving male lead, miscommunication, clinging-to-the-door-frame-in-anguish type of scenes, and endless revenge plot. It's a mix of everything, but it somehow it works well? You are pulled into their world and feel immense empathy towards the main character to a point of feeling legitimately afraid for her future, despite the fact that you're actually still in episode 10-ish and there's still 40+ episodes where she should still be obviously alive and well, acting out her main character role. The title itself is LITERALLY Female Prime Minister, so why am I stressed? Why am I scared for her?

It's silly I know, but the suspense in this drama is real. In a Kdrama world, this will be called as a historical makjang. So set your expectations right: It's so overdramatic that it will become your peak guilty pleasure. But rest assured that you wouldn't be actually guilty about it alone, because a lot of people will join you.
