Balanced Rom-com & Strong Female Lead

Overall, really enjoyed binging this show. I was not expecting a comedy to have such a strong plot with layers of villians and challenges. I thought the FL would bend and become weak when she's around the ML, but that is not at all why the ML in this story falls for the FL. I love the underlying message of equality and putting others above self. They even teach the lesson of “害人之心不可有,防人之心不可无” aka one should not have thoughts of harming others, but one should still be wary of others.

Pacing: amazing. Nothing seemed to drag too much. Plot had time to develop the characters. Short enough for me to binge in like 2 days.
Characterization: each character had their distinct personalities and values that stayed consistent through their actions throughout the story. This made all the side characters fun to watch too and not useless.
Fan-service: Lots of spicy kisses between characters and shirtless guys. Much appreciated!
Ending: Doesn't seem rushed, gave closure, and also gave some future material

Female lead - strong even in situations where she's not at an advantage. She doesn't really ever lose her smarts and gut instincts. Her judgement doesn't get clouded. The actress is also able to act naturally funny and not afraid to make stupid faces for the sake of comedy. When she does act serious, she really shines. Even when she's not in the role of power, her character carries herself with a level of confidence and bravery.

Male lead - also able to act stupid for the sake of comedy. My fav was when he also cross-dresses. You can really tell the moments that his character falls for the FL, when she's smart/brave/strong. He's willing to do some stupid things for her because of how much he believes in her.

Villians: Very hate-able. Good acting. Evil schemes actually made sense, even if the FL uses her logic to use their schemes against them. The evil laughs were both hilarious and chilling.

Misc:
Unique use of dreams! Usually when a character has dreams, it's just flashbacks of the same scenes. In this drama, they use it as means to talk to the dead and I think it shows how much the dead mean to the main characters, and how much of an influence they are on their lives and values. It added to the story and gave us of view of their inner thoughts.

Music - not memorable but didn't effect the story much. Opening song definitely sets the comedy vibes.
Rewatch Value - I generally don't rewatch things so this doesn't mean much to me.
