I have not wrote many reviews. When i am done watching a drama (even ones people hate the ending to) i typically have some sort feeling. I hit episode 58 and watch the end then realized it was over and that almost perfectly mirrors my experience watching this show. A lack of attachment or feeling in general. Literally, a waste of time, which is sad becuase i like the world that was set up.

Lots of crazy stuff happens but i never really felt connected to any of it. I just don't get why its rated above a 7 at most. There are no blaring issues with this Drama its just not a very enthralling story. In short, its boring and the characters are unlikable and unrelatable. There is no one to cheer for. The show doesn't give us a reason to care for the main character, she is almost unlikable for most of the Drama. Her love interests, are bland and more than stoic. They are stoic and at the same time super irrational (its dumb). Heck, even her child you cannot care about because clearly she doesn't. The child shows up and disappears like its some sort of toy. Oh don't worry mommy got her memory back but doesn't really give a shit about you baby, WTF.
The only character the MC shows any kind of decent connection to is her Master and he is asleep 90% of the show.

I think a 6 maybe high, but i do understand that i am rather harsh on shows.

TLDR - Watch it.

I didn't go into watching this with many expectations as im generally not a fan of role reversal. But they used a BAD trope in a very original an likeable way making it better and more real than most all other dramas.

Comedy - I almost rarely find Eastern 'humor' in these shows or novels funny. This has its funny moments. Like the ML in that 'tea house' (or whatever it was ); simply Outrageous. I think i kept saying why is this happening but was chuckling the entire time.

It even has some angst, and political fare. Its really good.

Its main drawback is that it never takes itself overly serious, but that is also its strength. As such it avoids really dumb plots we see associated with trying too hard to make the audience feel bad. So if something bad happens, you can expect a resolution at some point... not a 50 episode slog to see that maybe the character was okay. And right after the resolution to an issue it doesn't have to be the next powerful lady/man who steps up to be the bad guy (the entire show is a great mix of story).

Its just better than 99% of the other shows out there. How it has a 8.0 is a quandary to me. No pretty enough people, not enough fan service? Isn't self hating or depressing? I don't know the reason, i do know its great.
