You disguise yourself as a boy to save your brother from a poisoner's death, then walk straight into a castle where the warlord decides you're the only person he'll trust. The show knows this setup is absurd, leans into it completely, and somehow makes you believe that love could actually be the most dangerous weapon in a room full of swords. Four episodes is barely enough time to watch it happen, but that's exactly why it works.

Constant warfare engulfs 15th century Japan as rival lords fight to rule the land. Your father died in battle, and since then you have worked at the restaurant he left behind for your mother and younger brother. Then a cruel magistrate orders your brother taken away to become a poison taster. Hoping to keep him alive, you pose as a boy and take his place at the castle, only to find far more waiting for you there. Set in the Sengoku era, this short romantic drama treats love as the riskiest fight anyone can wage.
