Two problems I had with this story.  1- I didn't like the relationship dynamic of the main couple. The girl is all innocent and navie and the Duke is always taking advantage of this to harass her. It's cliché and crigy. Also super unrealistic I don't even understand why it's so popular.  2- The ML is a man whore and while I'm sure he will change his ways for the FL as the story goes on, I couldn't trust it. Men like him are the type that cheat on their wives with their sister or something in real life and I thought the girl deserved better.

Telling the story of a cross-dressing spy who falls in love with her target, The story started out interesting and for the first season remains strong both in terms of narrative and art. It's the second season where things go downhill. The art changes, the storytelling gets sloppy and a lot of characters seem to pick on more generic and sometimes trope-y character traits. We are coaxed with a promise of a strong FL in all of season 1 but I feel season 2 puts all that effort into a dumpster and sets it on fire. it started out fun and I ended on a note feeling disappointed to the point that I though the second season's mediocrity made me feel like I wasted my time. Despite that if you want something light and are running low on strong FL romance in historical setting options (like I was, since I am basically a sucker for this type of thing and have read or am reading most of the manhwa in this department), read until season 1 and as soon as season 2 gets annoying drop it. Tethered are better ways to spend the time you would otherwise spend on the last 40 or so chapters.

I liked the story but the art style shifted creators throughtout the story like in chapter 63-65 the chapters eemed different. I also im kinda frustaed the the main guy keeps playing with the girl's feelings with tking in considreation her emotions when he slapped her in the ball party in order to look 'cool' in front of everyone.
