Extremely refreshing take on gender roles, amazing plot and intriguing characters
Lol I finished this a few days ago but just realized episode reviews were a thing. This is my first time watching an airing drama, as well as my first time watching a historical fantasy, and so far, I’m very impressed. The first episode sets the scene as our FL gets sucked into the story that she wrote. The story is about a society where females take control and males are the ones being treated as lesser. The message is very clear, and it is done very well. I was so pleasantly surprised by how the writers of the drama were willing to address such an important, controversial message, and they did so well.Aside from that, the plot itself is amazing so far. The FL wrote the ML out to be a terrible, manipulative person, a refreshing change from the cliche male leads we usually see. He’s cunning, and he’s looking for ways to manipulate others in getting what he wants. The FL becomes a side character in the story, and she too finds herself forced to manipulate the plot line to ensure that her character does not meet the fate she brutally wrote for her. The concept, in my opinion, was done brilliantly. I’d heard bad things about the FL’s acting before, but i thought she did great in this drama. She brought a lot of light to her character and fit her role seamlessly.I highly recommend watching this show and am excited to see more!
