This series started well. Chinese dramas are known to be lengthy but this one is just 16 episodes so i had to watch it. Now i feel the short length almost ruined the drama because of poor editing. Scene transitions sometimes felt abrupt and disjointed, leaving you wondering 'what just happened' or 'how did we get here, we were just-' But it's not enough to spoil the flow of the story.
The beginning was very promising and the story was good and funny but it sort of detailed towards the end but it's still a good watch. The ending leaves you with questions and makes you wish for another season to answer those questions.
The romance was sweet. At first i didn't like the triangle especially because the FL was married. I knew who her husband was from the start though they tried to make it a mystery but it was pretty obvious. I don't like dramas where the relationship between the FL and the 2ML is overly developed because i feel it destroys the illusion of the relationship between the main leads and doesn't allow you to buy them as a couple. Here, the FL seemed confused between the two male leads then all of a sudden she was certain who she liked. (A result of the poor editing i was talking about) I did like that even though the ML strongarmed her into marriage, he still pursued her and tried to get her to love him without revealing his status as her husband.
I am very intrigued with the sub plot of the conflict between the North and South kingdoms and i would've like to see more plot development of that, hopefully in the second season.
The actors did well. The Male leads were dreamy and absolutely gorgeous. The FL was adorable with her big eyes and quirky ways. I loved the loyal maid turned sister too and her love story. There were a lot of comedy, some a little over the top, this wasn't meant to be a serious show but also some dramatic elements too. And all roles were executed perfectly except the miracle doctor, he was just plain annoying.
The ost was sweet and melodious. I would watch again but not in a hurry.
