100 Days My Prince

This was so good I binge-watched from start to finish. I especially love the chemistry between the two, great characterization and personality! And it somehow reminded me of The Prince Who Turned Into a Frog, also my ultimate favourite Taiwanese drama. So this was overall a plus, brought out the same feels haha.

Spoiler alert.
I would have given it a 10, had it not been for the cruel script that decided that her brother had to die and leave his heavily pregnant tragic love. Why can't they just make a happy ending, this was so unnecessary seriously. Sorry I can get very into the dramas.

I started watching this drama because of the male lead but few episodes in I found myself enjoying the story-line and falling for the female lead character as well. The story line was interesting and easy to follow, the actors did a great job of portraying the characters really well. The villains in this drama were the most hateful villains i know and that made me dislike them more than anything. I was hoping for a better ending for ending for Yi Seo's brother but we can't always get what we want right. With comedy to lighten the mood in every episode, there was no boring episode, a definite must watch .

I had seen few historical Korean dramas all were good but all had one part sad like in this drama lead actress brother died ,he did wrong but he should get punishment in other way or director should shows that her brother's love and she live happily together they should bring ending like this but . Among all historical Korean drama ,I had seen till know Grand prince is my favorite because that drama had a happy and satisfied ending.
Know about this drama ,starting was nice started with that two kids story and how their fate connected when they grows up but last few episode get loose the connectivity ,sone scenes get bored and sone scenes were too slow that I had to skip some parts.
All I can say too not too good or not too bad .So can give one try to it.
One more thing how the pregnant lady went up that direction should shows sone justification.

Really fun watch

I’m actually not a k-pop fan so I didn’t know who Kyungsoo was until I watched 100 days my prince and researched more

The best part about this k-drama is definitely the comedy, I found it similar to Prison Playbook’s as in the ML is dumb, maybe arrogant, but sly, while the FL and the surrounding cast are often much smarter and hardworking , especially the contrast of rich vs poor customs, or the over the top characters like the magistrate, the constant yelling at each other or ridiculous ideas, I found it extremely funny it’s a very chill show

The weak point of this k-drama is definitely the story, it progresses very little besides the first and last episodes, so most of it is filler, but I think its a funny show that’s great for winding down rather than something you would watch for it’s story, I think a highlight for me is that its set in a rural village far from Hanyang, and how the different classes interact

I really enjoyed details like FL decorating her house as well
And the secondary/background actors deserve more recognition too, I think the best word to describe this show is: Lively

This drama was once on my list and for some reason, I had dropped it. Big mistake! I finally did watch it and completed watching it last night. Everything about this drama was great. I can't express enough how cute EXO Kpop Idol Doh Kyung So was in this drama. This is a rewatch for me! Kim Jae Young, wow, his acting abilities, to play the type of character that he did in this drama was phenomenal. Good Lord, I'm scared of him in a good way! Nam Ji Hyun, another strong female lead, I loved her acting, she was very believable. The producers and screenwriter had me all the way to the last episode with me talking to myself, pulling petals off a daisy, "are they" or "are they not"? lmao, This is a good watch people. It does have some suspense, amnesia, and martial arts, but overall I really enjoyed it. Thank you to the team!

Despite its colorful poster the story itself was quite... sorrowful. Of course, the middle part that regards the "100 days" was a lot of fun and served many laughs. But those moments were always spiced with the right amount and with a sober sub-flavor. Nothing over the top, always in the right context.

Plus, acting was entertaining and praiseworthy as well. Esp. Do Kyung Soo who won over my heart with his performance. Kinda reminded me of Kim Soo Hyun and his portrayal of the Crown Prince/King in The Moon Embracing the Sun. But not as an imitation, he created his very own Crown Prince here. Without him the story would have been a lot less impressive and not as resonating. His character was the mainstray. (This might give me an idea for an article... )

That ending almost ruined the 9 that I intended to give since a while ago... Why? Because first of all they overdid the very thing I praised throughtout the whole drama: The comedy. And there were some characters left untouched as if they had been saints all along. Secondly, I just can't stand the excuse of an "ill-fated past" that keeps the protagonists apart. Like, are you writers serious? I wouldn't mind if it had been explained well. But here it felt like a lame and shallow try to prolong the inevitable, and was so NOT needed. So, 30 min of the drama were definitely a breach of style. Those few points made that heaviness they had built up during the whole story almost crumble.

TOP 5

I don't get why others are saying this show wasn't that good and giving it anything less than a 9. Seriously one of my top five and i don't rate 10/10 often, but I've literally finished this show TWICE and with 20 eps, also add in the fact that i literally can't even finish shows with 12-14 eps let alone 16-20 eps. I don't get it but maybe bc it's just my cup of tea.

I loved the actors of this show and Kyung-Soo has become an actor that i wait for them to make new shows so i can look forward to seeing his shows. It's honestly a perfect 10/10 and i totally recommend to others to watch NOWWW>

Decent comedy historical drama

The plot is simple, and fell flat towards the ending
However the actors did a good job and leverage the drama.
Despite his appearance which I consider not suitable enough to be a crown prince, Do Kyungsoo' expressions and sageuk tone really melt my heart, he is really talented for sure
As for Nam Jihyun, I don't quite fancy her voice , her acting is witty and make viewers feel comfortable unlike the others
Kim Seonho has become so big nowadays but he was really charming in this one
Han Sohee. I prefer her portrayed modern dramas, she doesn't fit sageuk but her acting was decent
The music was okay and the ending seems rush and intolerateable
But still this worth 1 rewatch from me

Hope Falters

The premise is admirable, but the plot fails it.

What started as something intriguing and engaging seemed to undercut by the bad pacing of the plot and the lack of any real sense of competition, leaving the antagonist/villain First Vice-Premier with nobody even close to his level to compete against. These types of royal court dramas are always best when we can see someone match wits. 100 Days My Prince offers a buffet of incompetence by each mainline character. The Crown Prince suffers from a prolonged memory crisis and zero sense of danger; Hong Sim basically has to be beat over the head and told that the man she marries is the Crown Prince; Jung Jae Yun as the capital bureau suffers from face blindness so remembers people from their idiosyncrasies yet repeatedly stands right in front of the Crown Prince without identifying him. The King is a feeble and inept person who was a puppet well before he became King. The Queen? Sadly, she couldn't hide her emotions if it killed her. Just a mess of character development.

We were told the Crown Princess was pregnant without any backstory or buildup. This all left me with a central question as the viewer: Why should I care about any of them? To not have an answer to that two-thirds of the way through is a travesty.

Very good, some parts are an exception

Something I really disliked was that Won deuk was so….like idk what’s the word but he expected Hongshim to comply with all his requests and he was so hard-headed and not in a good way. I love that Hongshim really didn’t let him walk all over her though but those moments were he tried I was so furious:p I guess that’s probably how society was back in that era so… idk anyway I also didn’t like that Hongshim’s adoptive dad had this weird voice and it wasn’t pleasant to hear every time he talked I was so annoyed, anyone else?? At the beginning it really seemed like Hongshim and Wondeum would never fall in love it just seemed so impossible since he despised everyone and even her I just never expected them to get as close as they did I mean I new it was bound to happen bcz they’re literally on the cover but it just seemed impossible at the beginning. I didn’t like that fact that Han seo hee was in this kdrama I just can’t stand her! I only liked in My Name and that was ok but in other kdramas she just acts like such a victim and so quiet and submissive and idk I just don’t like a lot of the roles she has. Anyway, it was all right, not as good as my favorite kdrama of all time: the king’s affection !! <33333

One of my favourite dramas now

I didn't have high expectations going in to this drama, but BOY did I fall in love!!

First up, the story might be cliche, but I have yet to watch a drama with a similar story line. During the whole drama, there was a main plot that was maintained in all seriousness, without taking away from the comedic parts of the drama. The drama was both funny and serious at the same time. In the first episode alone, I found myself awing, crying, and gasping because of the story and the acting.

THE ACTING!!! First of all, the kid actors looked SO much alike to the adult ones it was fairly easy to tell who was who. Second of all, the children actors were absolutely amazing!! From their interactions to facial expressions to how well they acted out their characters, I was really shocked (and it was adorable) during the first episode. Kyung Soo, Ji Hyun and Seon Ho were brilliant, I loved them so much!! They had amazing chemistry (Won Deuk and Hong Shim) and their marriage was extremely realistic based on the circumstances.

I also really enjoyed the music, I wouldn't say it was particularly memorable like Kill Me, Heal Me's OST, but it definitely fit the drama. One of the songs got me crying every time it was played and it just fit so well with the time period and the drama/story itself.

I thoroughly enjoyed the drama from beginning to end. It wasn't boring at all during the 100 days away from the palace and there were touching, sad, serious, AND funny moments. It's more of a funny drama with a good plot so if you're looking for some serious historical and shocking dramas I suggest Kingdom instead. I also really liked how they ended the drama with everyone becoming so happy and relaxed, instead of being tense and plotting something. I really loved the drama and I highly suggest watching it!!!

OH-HO! ALL HAIL PRINCE D.O.!

If you don’t mind the historical period dramas then you’ll like this one, too. Overall, it has the usual good storyline, the romantic or not so romantic connection between the two leads and enough comedy to get you laughing throughout. It’s the typical royalty storyline with lots of plots, deceit and conspiracy to gain status or get closer to the throne, etc. but what makes it good is when the writers can make it interesting enough to catch the viewer. I don’t know what it is, but for me I am always a big fan of dramas that add in the younger actors to portray a past connection of the main characters. I guess I like how they show more of flashbacks to explain the past, gives it more depth in storytelling IMO. There’s a pretty sizable and recognizable cast of actors that all did a good job, the costumes always make the characters plus a good OST usually gets me humming even after watching an episode. I first put this on my watch list because of actress Nam Ji Hyun (Suspicious Partner) now after watching this, I’ve definitely become new fan of the lead actor Do Kyung Soo aka D.O. (and EXO). Many times I come across a good drama I tend to steer and watch the other works of the actors, and I find myself loving them more and more. There’s just something this kid D.O.’s look, he came across so well as the prince, it’s gotta be those big eyes and pouty lips lol —he’s so handsome! Well, hope you enjoy the show, too!
