This drama started out as a rom-com but ended up being more of a procedural drama. As a procedural drama, think CSI set in ancient China, it had great pacing and interesting subplots that connect to the bigger plot.

What I didn’t like was that the title of the drama and the promos are misleading as I was expecting to see more of the romance between the leads than the crime solving part. Here’s the breakdown of the drama:

90% solving crime/main plot
5% trying to save lead girl
5% romance.

The 2nd lead prince had more romantic scenes than the main lead but you are still lead to believe that the girl likes the male lead.
