The beginning dozen episodes were excellent. The story was a good pace and each character development seems to be on point. There’s a very strong and smart FL and she worked well with the ML. Although there is the usually jealous female it did not take over the screen and affect the mains that much.

Then….
It’s as if the previous screenwriter and director were changed to another person.. the main characters somehow became so insecure and jealous. Then more jealous females and males were added to the screen time. It was basically 90% of jealousy and scheming from them. Then the leads had a personality change and became dumb and super insecure. The character development literally dropped down hill.

It def did have a rebirth of all the characters. In some of the dramas even with the evil char the story still moves and the mains get their screen time. Nope not this. I had to drop it after cringing in every episode at all the unnecessary drama. They even skipped important scenes just to be jealous rivals in. I mean when did the emporer even get married??

So if you’re into watching jealous ppl plot and ruin others lives this one’s for you.
