I gave this a six because I still have fond memories of the lead actor from the "Hospital Playlist" series. I have seen the FL before. She always looks like it would kill her to actually smile. The plot was good, cohesive and well played. Even though it was well written it was a little boring. The ML depended on intent looks too frequently instead of actually acting in his role. The romance was barely there. I missed having the traditional second couple romance. The secondary characters were all good in their roles. I dropped off points due to the vague unlikely ending. Yes, I want a happy ending too. But how? He can't marry her or make her a concubine as she is the daughter of a supposed traitor and everyone in the palace saw her when she was pretending to be a man. That is an act of treason. They would not recognize her in a dress?? Too many people know that she is a she. All in all...immediately. Forgettable.
