Historical family drama sprinkled with royal court politics
The story had promise and would have been a genuinely great drama had it not morph into a hagiography of the female lead.
With her incredibly astute managerial and investment skills, she might be traipsing or feel a bit hesitant but never fear whatever she decides is proven correct in the end. Don't even bother going up against her because whatever she puts her mind into, the drama universe will make it reality.
From her all encompassing compassion for the lowest dregs of society to her pugnacious and confident attitude in front of the emperor. The FL can do it all with her signature wit and million dollar smile.
Set against the backdrop of a ruined noble family the story proceeds into an almost merry go round of the FL starting and successfully growing one business to another while managing the household, repairing or ending family relationships and getting some romantic moments with the ML who could be mistaken for a supporting character here.
Speaking of ghosting supporting characters who hardly shows up. The 2nd ML is hardly seen here , he shows up for the occasional shouting matching with his father but seeing this already halfway even the family butler has had more scenes than him. The 2nd FL is hardly better, she spends her time playing patty cake with 2nd ML younger brother while being completely oblivious to the world around her including the deaths of her father and stepmother. Seriously not even a little acknowledgedment of these major life events.
It's all so silly and superficial taken as a whole. A very unrealistic and flawed story where every successful endeavor or idea solely emanates from the picture perfect FL.
It was an enjoyable drama but hardly the type that induces deep thoughts or illucidates the mind.
