She could be much more than that - and she was, but it derailed.WHAT'S IT WORTH WATCHING FOR:Hm.208 Ruler–Master of the Mask: Episodes 1-2 by javabeans I suspect reasons for that are not exposing her trait as much as having her in one place with the second male lead and under his power, and giving the first male lead an opportunity for a dramatic run through a city stopped on crossed halberds. I'm not saying asking for permission, but communicating with a person she supposedly loves that much. I wish writers had a better idea of showing Ga Eun's independence than making her going blindly her way, without consulting people around her and making informative choices. The show takes itself very seriously, but comes off silly and pompous despite some original concepts thrown at the beginning. Fill the empty spaces with speeches on the common people suffering under Evil Corp, the legitimacy of power, qualities of a good leader and apologies towards villain who was clearly forced by a circumstances and badly run country to turn evil, poor thing. The second leads meddle into it, but they never had a chance and weren't even looking for a different options, so there's no thrill. So double the cliffhanger / wet blanket combo and add general lack of fluidity here and there. Right, they needed to make an antidote too, but that just happened last minute.To make matters worse, due to the episode getting split in half it wasn't 20 eps but 40 shorter ones. There were two quests in total and they were both lying sidelined waiting for a person in charge to get to his or hers grand moment, because everyone else was too busy creating misunderstandings, being a noble idiot or passively looking from behind.
Some matters, like finding a poppy field, could have been resolved around 1/3 of the show and don't even start me on that jar that no-one bothered to come and get until the very end. Or wanted to troll us with a prospect of a tragic ending?)Despite all the plotting, accumulating power and changing teams going on, there's not enough plot to last for 20 hours (and a 5 years long time skip during which 1st female lead regressed and everything interesting apparently just happened to the other three).
