First half of this show was awesome, there was a lot of guessing around who was the actual male lead of the show ( even the poster was miss leading which is very refreshing)
Humor was a big part of it and i love the dynamics and arguments and joking around between the characters, specially the very surprising and well layered character of the Watchman.
So It was a 9 rating the whole first half but dropped 2 points of the rating just because the amount of guilt tripping the Watchman had to endure from everyone the second half of the series. I mean his job is literally being the bodyguard of the late crown prince son and he just needs to DEFEND HIM because everyone is always constantly is trying to kill him, so basically he has the SAME job than the royal guards and the Chief Administrator (AND that's why his son died as one of the 6 swords). How is it that they keep bullying him saying he is a murder when they do the exact thing?? That rhetoric was dragged for too long and was very frustrating, specially because even the sister of the female lead would insult him for that....
It also became a bit gloomier and predictable. No trace of humor, funny or lighthearted scenes, not even romantic ones....
Chemistry was okay but had the never ending and overused love triangle cliché, which wasn't too draggy here but still a bit cringe.
Overall entertaining and enjoyable but ended up speeding up the last few episodes. It could have had the usual 16 episodes and it would have been better.
