Disappointed and annoyed

I was hooked watching this drama from the first episode. The story was interesting, dark, suspenseful, spy movie. I love ZLH and Esther Yu. But oh man, it was all spoiled after I watched the last episode 24. I thought there was episode 25 that I’m missing. But alas, no. Episode 24 was the last one. No special episode after that. No epilogue. No plan for season 2. This drama disappointed me so much I felt so cheated. No sad or happy ending. No open ending that makes you think of possibilities. Nothing to stretch your imagination. It’s as if the whole production was cancelled, the staff packed up and went home. The story has NO ENDING! And I’m still scratching my head asking myself why was this show like that. I will not recommend this at all.

The male lead became an accessory while the female lead became the back story

I was conflicted and confused about this drama. The title is misleading. The emphasis throughout was on Su Rong Qing, who was supposed to be the 2nd ML by the way. It was all about SRQ’s endless dramatic antics, forever sob story and sociopathic and villainous behavior. I thought they should have called this drama The Psycho Royal. Only ZLH made me tune in till the end. But really, I wasn’t even sure ZLH was the ML when his character was reduced to an accessory of the FL. I felt cheated. The last episode totally ruined this for me especially with that long irritating monologue from the psycho. Only saving grace of this drama is the flawless acting of ZLH and ZJM.
