Review
Despite the intriguing setup focusing on the lives of servants, the drama missed the mark when it came to delivering a good dynamic storytelling between maids and nobles. It felt like a jigsaw puzzle scattered all over the place with no clear picture, just random bits and pieces all jumbled up from the typical lens of servants and maids back then. I don't think they did a good job with their portrayal that servants/maids are equal as people. Honestly, I was left hanging, craving some real depth and a solid story from what could've been something different and unique.
