Rookie Historian Goo Hae Ryung Episode 13

6.0/10 - Very cute, but no depth.

Rookie Historian Goo Hae Ryung is visually stunning, and adorable. It throws in dashes of serious topics and intrigue, but lacks any depth.

The slow pace and basic trope is not where I thought the first 8 episodes were taking us (first 4 episodes if you're lumping them in hours like I think Netflix does) . Which is beyond disappointing. I thought this drama was gonna bring in some serious conversations about IMPORTANT topics. And give us a female lead we the viewers deserve. Yet again she's watered down to make her . . . the same. Just enough "what a woman shouldn't be" flavored by drama writing that takes it all away so she's . . . subservient . . . or at least cowed and put in her place when she needs her proper reminders.

This episode does well better to show that she understands what the men in her life expect of her. Though she's clueless about the Prince's feelings. Who knew we'd get some beach frolicking and hand holding. Still bored though.
