    ROMANCE: 

    • Dec 12, 2021: episode 1/22
      • Cute cat. Cute girl. Terrible CGI cat lol
    • Same date: episode 11/22
      • Okay, thankfully the CGI cat is not around lots (hallelujah). FL is just as cute as a button. I like her. Normally I'm not into physically weaker FLs but she's somehow charmed me with her positivity and straightforwardness (me and every guy in the drama).  She's not the sharpest tool in the shed, but honestly, no one really is in this drama. The plot is very simple. Everything is extra fluffy, so I'm not really mad the plot for the non-romance stuff seems to be pretty relaxed and simple to follow.  MLs are fun to look at, I personally thing the 2nd ML is just an absolute doll. But I never stray from the main ML normally, even if they show literally no emotion (I root for the characters that obviously want to be together. I can't root for someone who's feelings are one sided). Hoping it keeps up the same energy and doesn't all of the sudden get super dark and complicated (fingers crossed).  
    • Oct 27, 2022: finished
      • I totally started it over like two days ago and... scratch everything but for the FL being adorable and the plot being relatively fluffy and simple and the HORRIBLE CGI cat (seriously that cat looks terrible). I really liked the FL despite her flaws, but the acting was pretty atrocious from everyone else at times, and man, did I want to sleep through it after episode 16. But I got through it, and it was meh overall. I definitely have a huge crush on the FL actress, she's gorgeous so at least there is that.  All and all, it did keep the same energy mostly; just sometimes got a bit boring or lack luster with some of the plot wrap ups. I give it a 6/10 (maybe even a 6.5 solely for the FL).

    HISTORICAL:

    • 1-3 ep (Nov12)
      pretty cute, I'm really enjoying the 2nd ML.
    • Nov 13: finished
      This is so good, but the ML is so angsty and secretive. I love 2nd ML so much oml. But I don't dislike the ML either, i just wish he would be honest so they could all figure out a solution together. Hell, even 2ndML would prefer that. I LOVED the crime part about it, i think their take on solving the puzzle of crime is really unique in a way. And i really loved the three leads friendship, totally endearing. The few negatives i think are (1) FL's emotions after a death feels like is lacking. Wait, i think thats basically it. It's lower budget but idc, i really loved it. The characters are all so sweet and lovely, and the way the stories all intertwine is so well thought out.

    MYSTERY:

    • Dec 29th-Jan 2: (6/16 episodes) It's so good. It's not without it's issues (imo), but it's very enjoyable. I personally get a little bored from the business home buying stuff, but the ghost stuff is great! I'm excited to find out more about our leads' pasts!
    • Dec 29 2022 - Jan 3 2023 (finished): The crying scenes and the overall emotional scenes are an entire ten out of ten. The acting was phenomenal in those parts. And the writing was so touching, heartbreaking, and hopeful all at the same time. But where the score fell for me was how it occasionally dragged and the boring business side of house selling lol. But it was seriously so good AND we accidentally got some asexual representation going on. Anyways, I'm crying, that was heartbreaking (but in a hope filled way). I gotta give it a 9/10 for those amazing emotional scenes, woooo, they got me crying my eyes out.
    • I want to add that I normally only watch dramas for the romance, and even though it wasn't like other dramas, romance and falling in love is STILL in this drama. But it's not with skin contact or typical romantic scenes... it's how they learn each other and depend and think of one another in everything that they do. They love each other completely and respect one another just as much. There IS romance, it's just not a normative one and imo it was really wholesome and refreshing and I'm crying because it's so cute.

    • Nov. 23rd, 2021, episode 23/48: 
      • FL is AGGRAVATING. Expected some kickass lead, instead got a lost, flightless baby bird. BUT aesthetics are beautiful! And I have a m a j o r crush on ML. Plot is a bit floundery, but the chemistry between the characters is very convincing and natural. (FL just pisses me off. Act like a soldier and also stop cold-shouldering my boy. He's trying so hard.)

    ACTION: The faults make me want to give in a 8.5, but the amazing parts honestly are so good I'd give it a total of 9.5. Absolutely worth the watch. Action was perfect.

    • Nov. 29, 2021: 6/16
      • Okay, I really like this drama. Unlike other cross-dressing dramas, this one actually seems to do a really good job at being gender defying. By that, I mean both men and women are strong characters with equally as important roles and each with their weaknesses. No one is really a heroin or hero... rather, they are both, taking turns. More older important male characters, but with it being historical that makes sense lol. Really enjoying this and hope it keeps it up. 
    • Nov. 30, 2021: 9/16 (yes i binged)
      • I have no words. Okay, I have a few: what an amazing drama. Holy macaroni I am at the edge of my seat. This went from an 8.5 to an absolute 10 for me. While the romance had me at the beginning, I am now fully absorbed in the political plots and action. My god, it's amazing. I don't think I've ever been this so intrigued by the non-romantic part of a drama. The PLOT TWISTS. I am going to have SEVERE trust issues. Literally every character in this dang drama has made my head spin at least twice. Phenomenal. I'm so hoping it keeps it up.
    • ^Completed
      • The only complaints are (1) after the 1st half, there wasn't as many women making dents in the plot (besides messing it up)  (2) the FL could have been way more dimensional. They seemed to really know complex when it came to males... females, not so much. (3) The build was outstanding, but the ending was a bit lackluster. It's like they were rushing. I feel unsatisfied by a few relationships I had become so invested in.  Also, some weird out-of-character choices by normally diabolical characters just to keep the plot going. That being said, the ending didn't make me regret watching it.

      • I remember binging this, but then I ran out of episodes and lost interest. That being said, I think it's probably still amazing--I just don't like waiting. I remember it was very cute. Some healthier relationships. And I liked the 2nd couple just as much as the first.

    • 1-3 ep (nov 11)  Finished (Nov 11)

      this is so good what the heck. Why did I wait so long to watch this? I'm already obsessed. So fun!

      I love love loved this so much. Maybe it's because I'm a writer myself, but the idea of a plot hole coming back to haunt me that much is genuinely hilarious and entertaining. Amazing.

      I was hooked from beginning to end. The idea of a plot hole coming back to haunt an author this much is genuinely hilarious and entertaining to me. And also, the chemistry between the leads was so very tangible. How don't people like it?! I'm so shook at the comments. I rarely rate things very high, but this is 10/10 for me (even if FL did occasionally get me irritated from how SLOW she was in her reactions lol). But idk, I feel like before you listen to all the negativity you should try it out for yourself. This was adorable and so fun and emotional all in one.
