Good premise, execution was okay, and the ending was unsatisfying
I think the show had a really premise, the fact that we're watching partially as the reality show viewer and partially as a normal drama viewer. I also think the fact that this was held in an alternate universe where the male only makes up 0.01 of the population is very new.
I binged the show, which I rarely do, so I can say that it was a very enjoyable watch, I was sucked into it, although there are some cringy parts that I skipped past through. The flow in the beginning made a lot of sense, the character introduction, the reality show flow, but in the middle episodes, it felt kind of wonky, it was as if they were trying to fit in so much content but they weren't allowed the time? I'm not so sure. And the ending? I think it was too hurried, overthrowing the government is hard for sure, so it feels weird that they tried to cram it in the last 20 minutes of the last episode. And the last scene where we see Madam Kwan finding out Son, Day, their son, and Son's father? It's a bit ominous but tells us nothing.
The show was really fun overall, I wish they executed it better and I wish we had a more coherent ending.
