Just a dumb show

I started this drama because I was craving a rom-com with a love triangle, and while it is one, it's poorly done.

Story: Now I know in historical Cdramas you have to suspend reality a bit with all the flying, lack of injuries etc but this show has too many moments that are ridiculous. At one point the ML and FL fall off a cliff and yet they are perfectly fine. Or another time the ML was injured and she treated his wound on his clothes rather than remove it and then put the medicine. It's moments like this that makes me not take the drama seriously. Yet, it seems like the drama did want you to take it seriously with all the politics and dramatic music in the background. Also, the FL sister tries to disguise herself as the FL to marry the prince and we are just suppose to assume that no one will figure it out. Like c'mon this could so easily be exposed and then it puts the family at risk.

Acting: I came into the show knowing that the FL is supposed to be around 15 so I was prepared to tolerate her behavior. However, maybe to the acting, it just came across flat and cringy. The ML was okay but the 2nd ML seemed to be the most experienced.

Music: Now the music on the other hand is great. I love the opening and ending theme. I started this drama because I came across the opening theme and fell in love with it.

Rewatch value: Since I dropped the series I won't be rewatching it. Instead I'm going to continue with "Oh! My Sweet Liar!" A much better rom-com in my opinion
