My first HK drama left me very satisfied. The main story has a good pacing and is nicely intertwined with subplots, and as soon as one problem is solved another crops up keeping me interested. I especially enjoyed that the lead kept up her disguise through the whole drama (with some lovely makeover scenes sprinkled through). Also the main male lead didn't figure out she was a female until well halfway (yet still didn't know who she really was, so trusting the sweet thing.) As a bonus he felt a bit conflicted about his feelings for "him" for a short while, which really suprized and delighted me.
The three main actors were all very good. In fact I enjoyed the whole ensemble. I find it lovely the way they moved, fought and talked. Good directing and choreography. Great backdrops, costumes and props. Very beautiful and immersive.
It reminded me a bit of My Bratty Princess, however, I actually enjoyed this one more. This might not be the best drama EVER, pretty stingy on skinship (didn't expect anything raunchy from HK to be fair), the dubbing can drive me insane (until I get used to it) and so on with the same problems as Chinese dramas. But if you are looking for something feel good, funny and a genderbender you might enjoy this.
Also: YAY for a strong independent female lead who can kick arse!
