Historical Drama with a Relatable FL and Gender Role Reversal ML

Okay, so there are already a lot of reviews of this drama but I will try to talk about things that others may not have discussed and that were standout moments for me.

The FL from the beginning was super relatable and likable. She does not want to marry. She is older than the rest of the girls and hasn't been married off...this is really frowned upon but she doesn't want her freedoms to be constrained. While I love a romantic novel she hates them because she is a logical person with a curious mind. For someone who enjoys character-driven dramas I feel this drama was really enjoyable to watch because the protagonist is a smart, strong-willed, diligent, funny, and relatable. This was important to me because there are many kdramas where I do not really like the females, as in I feel they're written one-dimensionally or without substance so this was a stand out for me.

I thought the ML's acting was a little off the mark in the beginning but as I continued to watch he made the role his own and I fell in love with him. In fact, both the leads were lovable. You root for them and when they get their happy ending you are filled with such happiness.

I didn't used to like historical dramas but recently I have watched a few that made me change my mind. Historical dramas don't have to be slow-paced and boring. They can be fun to watch!

I didn't give this a full 10/10 because I felt like there were some things in the plot that did not receive proper closure. For instance, I wish the crown prince and prince Dowon had a moment where they reconciled and shared a more profound bonding moment.

Also, I wished the FL could have had more developed female friendships. I wish the FL could have talked with another female about how limiting the social roles were.

They could have also shocked the grandmother by telling her about how prince Dowon and a historian were really in love. I just felt there were some moments that could have been better utilized. Also, the eunuch is often like a father to prince Dowon and they could have had at least one conversation about what he means to prince Dowon who has been neglected by the man he called father.

Okay, regarding the gender role reversal I am referring to how the show hinted that prince Dowon is like Rapunzel. He's trapped in his castle and can't leave. He is the one who often has to depend on the FL to save him and she does so. I found this really charming and made the story feel so light at times.

Overall, this is a wonderful drama that could have been explored more but that is definitely worth watching and warms the heart.
