The Feel-Good Part

The plots and storylines got creatively portrayed in the show. The acting is suitable for slapstick and ridiculous plotlines provided in this show. It has over-the-top scenes, which are hilarious yet entertaining to watch. It also contains consistently well-delivered comedy and is well-paced. It has a fierce portrayal of the female lead as well. The romantic aspects were sweet and warm as they got beautifully carried out. The fake marriage trope got perfectly carried out in this show. The antics of the male lead are fun and wacky with his unpredictable plans, which will serve as an enjoyable time for audiences. The satisfying ending feels like a reward to watch as well.

The Disappointing Factor

The characters needed more depth and details to connect fully with the audience. The show takes some questionable turns sometimes. The action might seem too loud and annoying at times. The plot was all over the place in some parts, and they brought in too many characters that were unimportant to the main storyline. Some visuals could have been much better than they got executed. The sets and costumes are also a letdown for historical genre fans.
