In-depth Analysis
The Empire stylizes that outrageously wealthy and influential elite society who can afford a lifestyle that the rest of the society can’t. Wealth was presented in a feudal manner, but it seemed a bit pietistic. The conservative elite feigns progressiveness by throwing snippets of English. It seemed artificial but not convincing. Friends to lovers story is one sub-genre that cannot be easily understood. Yeo Reum is a successful woman and has a career in drama-making. Now, she is pessimistic about her chance of getting the right partner. Yeo Reum’s close friend, Jae Hoon, has a sad backstory. How he feels for Reum is not revealed fully.

The leads did well, and they portrayed their roles nicely, but at times, it felt that Choi Si had a difficult time showing deep emotions. The characters appearing to be holy have something deep driving them.
