A Perfect, Well Paced Show
This review will be short, I just wanted to talk about how perfect it was. While The Red Sleeve still remains as my favorite sageuk, this one was just as good.
My favorite thing was the pacing. I do think it is sad kdramas now mostly have less than 16 episodes, but I think I've made peace with it considering the fact that nowadays they love adding useless issues into the plot to fill up those extra episodes. This show being a 12 episode show, left no time for that nonsense. The plot was good. All loose ends were tied. The pacing was perfect.
Romance was sprinkled here and there and I don't have any issue with the amount of romance. However if you want ALOT of romance this might not be for you. I watched this for Lee Ha Nee's Undercover hijinks and it gave what it was supposed to give.
The side characters were lovely and no episode was wasted with useless plotlines. I am mentioning this over and over because that's how grateful I am.
I recently watched The Matchmakers which has a similar setup to this show. A widow that has another life. But I loved this show much better, pacing and storywise.
perfect story. good for anyone who wants a chill sageuk that's not too intense.
