Blew my mind

This is the oldest drama i’ve watched yet. This is also my first review as well, however I thought that I should write one for this.

At first I wasn’t expecting much because of the fact it was filmed in 2012, however I was wrong. The acting was good when it came to the Koreans. Seungi never fails to disappoint me with his acting. And since this was filmed in 2012, I understand that his acting obviously isn’t as good as it is today.

What kind of threw me off was the acting from the international actors, however I think that has always been the case with me when it comes to international actors in Kdramas. However in this particular one, the acting looked more forced and just didn’t really fit well with me and threw me off at times. Especially the girl in CLUB M. It gave off cosplaying acting rather than professional acting, other than that the acting was great overall.

I definitely felt that some scenes were taking too long, or didn’t really get to the point which made me skip them. Such as the WOC first round for example. It dragged out in some parts which made it boring for me. I also kind of wished they showed at least some clips on how they won the other rounds, however that’s that.

The storyline was honestly pretty good. I’ve watched a few other royal modern day kdramas and south and north korea dramas as well such as The King: Eternal Monarch, Crash Landing on You and The Last Empress (which I have yet to finished.) now obviously the storylines were different, however this definitely was one of the best out of them all.

One of my personal favorite dramas

Now, i’m not gonna lie and say this drama was amazing in all aspects, because it definitely wasn’t. However, it did exceed my expectations in some parts.

The acting was amazing. The side characters, the supporting characters, the main characters, everyone did amazing. It felt like they were real people and did just actors playing a role.

The storyline is where I get kind of ehhh. They were married for 100 days; why haven’t they consummated? I just feel like if Hongshim were to be impregnated, it would add so much to the plot. I also feel like the ending felt a little bit… Mysterious?? I personally don’t like endings that just happen if you get what I mean. But I also understand that there’s a season 2 coming up; so it would make sense to have that sort of ending in the first season.

The plot did drag out in some parts. Especially with the antagonists, and the way that i-seo and yul “left” each other again, and reunited again at the end of the last ep, i just felt that it was so unnecessary???

Overall, this drama was amazing and enjoyable in my personal opinion, and definitely does have a rewatch value. If i’m ever bored, maybe i’ll rewatch it again. :)
