I am of the opinion that many of us watch dramas out of what we can expect from them; that comfort in knowing how they'll make you feel, in as much as the novelty of the stories themselves. In that regard, Maiden Holmes may not have been the most original. In fact, it is downright predictable. But in the execution of all that we've come to love about historical rom-coms, it delivers a hundred percent.

From the very first scene, from the very first episode, I was hooked because the show doesn't make you wait around for all the good stuff to happen. The plot moves at a swift pace and just keeps the goodies coming along the way. There are conflicts to keep things interesting, but never anything too serious or frustrating, and all has satisfying resolutions. The cast is young and likable. And, of course, the romance is especially cute, and surprisingly passionate. The leads' interactions feel natural; I attribute that to good directing and acting. Also, I must confess, the male lead is so eye-catching. I'm almost always staring at his face whenever he's on screen! Seriously, he is so fine. I should also mention that he portrays an amazing character. Cold, arrogant male lead is a given these days but he totally proves being a nice guy from the beginning can be just as attractive. He is nurturing; always ready to support his love, as well as be kind to his subordinates and friends.

Hence, if you want to watch a historical drama that isn't too heavy on intricate plot or angst, and you want a high quality fluffy drama to enjoy and pass the time, then this one's for you.
