Nothing logically makes sense in this universe. The other clans have superpowers but are victim of human clan which has no power. The snow king could have killed the dowager while sipping a tea......like seriously, the man had great powers as showcased in the show itself , he could literally kill many people with just 1 ice thingy (ep 24). WHY is he trapped ???
Even after giving him a benefit of doubt , like the military could have kidnapped children or people with no power of their clan as hostage and then threatened him to surrender . Even after then he could have pretended to surrender and other people of the clan could go kill the army and dowager. Just because he doesn't have the PLOT ARMOUR (like the leads) doesn't mean he can't use his brain .
The leads have the most generic a** strategy , like you all CANNOT convince me that the villainess is powerful and cunning , that blind woman falls for every single(Note: they almost use the same trick time and again) bad trick . The plot armour for them is heavy. The last few episodes really falter in the story telling aspect , it drags on for too long ,like I could predict what will happen next .
The ending was good ,hinting at s2 . I hope she leaves the palace and rebuilds her clan .
The acting wasn't phenomenal but good enough. The ML needs to have more experience. The FL has good enough acting skills .

MY FINAL THOUGHTS:
It is a good one time watch , if u watch it in 2x like I did, u could finish it in 2.5 hrs. It isn't an exhilarating watch but you can tune it while having your meals and not think too much of it and who knows you just might like it.
