I tried. I tried so hard.
Like others, I wanted to like this so much. I did. But I couldn’t. It was cute in bits and pieces but Jackie Li legitimately carried this show on her back, with an assist from the gentleman who played her parents. They were the only ones aware this was a comedy.
The story was okay, but I kept thinking I’d missed something and rewinding to find out no, I hadn’t, just some major plot point had not appeared in the show. Like suddenly the emperor is near dead but who knows how? Somehow she’s his ride or die but I missed why? Whatever.
There were some major unresolved plot points by the end. By that point I was glad it was over, though.
One other thing - the emperor - the entire time no one could do his hair? The emperor looks like a ninth grader? No.
