Don't get me wrong, this was one of the best costume dramas I'd seen since TROTR. The chemistry was off the charts, the kissing scenes were so natural, and the plot was really nice.

I felt like something was missing though, which is why it didn't get a 10/10. It felt like a drama stuck between trying to be dark and mysterious but was failing at it.

Besides that, I loved the plot. Not a trope or misunderstanding in sight, and it was well rounded overall. The ML and FL were dedicated to each other, and none of the typical attempted break-ups happened. I really liked it for that.
