Consistenly good till the end
I tried to watch a lot of period dramas and every time i get bored or disappointed with either the story or the lack of character depth or sheer unbelievablility of the way characters are with respect to those times.
Pros :
1. ML and FL - their character arc, their chemistry and the way they complement each other is one of the best. Both have their strengths and weaknesses and each try to work it out knowing that very well.
2. Good character arc for almost every character in the story surrounding FL and ML. Everyone are contributing to the story not just there for the sake of glorifying ML or FL. The way they act has valid reasons be it FL's uncle who just wants his family fortune to change, or even the useless Marquis husband of FL's sister. They are so believable. And everyone sort of meets a beffiting end in the story. I love so many characters in this show. Even a small scene between Crown Prince and his wife is so wholesome. So i did not find any scenes unncessary.
3. A real smart and brave FL without overglorification. The biggest gripe I have with period C dramas is that they say that women have little to know rights but then somehow in most of the shows FL is overglorified and she somehow gets away with anything and everything she does( ** cough Kuning cough** ). Strength of an FL can be shown even during those times befitting the period it is shown with but in many shows FL are simply overglorified with everyone being a fan of her. But in this case FL Is smart but she is also vulnerable when she needs to be. That makes it more believable. Best scene for me is she shooting the prince. She uses the gun during the bandit attack but fails to target and succeeds only the second time. Not like out of nowhere she take sthe gun and hits . Every female character are different but they all have their own strengths and weaknesses.
4. I like that till the end ML is sticking to the revenge plan and outright not forget about it as soon as he meets FL. At the end its the story where FL has to rewrite her fate and along with hers even MLs which she succeeds but it is also a revenge story for ML. His older life was driven by revenge which he took on wrong people but this life time he succeeds. So the story sticks to both FL's goal and ML's goal without deviating. And every character that was shown at the end of their first life contributes positively or negatively towards their goal in the second.
4. Pacing - You don't feel bored at any time.
Cons:
1. There are some scenes which i still feel is overly done. For ex: Everyone somehow coming to FL's rescue when she is punished to copy a book or the time when ML gets her mother's bangles for FL on the wedding day. These are small things which can still be explained so not a big problem for the feel of the show . It is really over the top scene which was not required. He could have gone and met his mother before she died instead of follwing the FL. It was too cheesy for my liking!
2. i do still see some modern values being juxtaposed to the olden times .
Overall a very good CDrama of 2024. Loved it !
