My new favorite drama

I came for Zee-NewNew and I stayed for the plot. And the butler. The chemistry between the leads is outrageously good, the butler is hilarious, the story is wonderful. this is not only the best BL series I’ve seen but overall one of the best shows I’ve watched. I spend all week every week waiting for the new episode. I can’t wait to see more as they’re released

Epic start

Great beginning. The beginning episode had the ability to capture my attention. With fight scene of the king testing the royal guard skills to see if he would be appropriate to retrieve the prince to the overall look of the castle. The scene where the character finds out he life was a lie and everything was out of duty….bravo… amazing . I don’t easily cry but that scene actually got me . A lot was put into the making of this series and it shows. Budget is definitely budgeting. The equipment used is something I only saw in western and k dramas. Thai dramas are stepping their game up. Looking forward to see this story unfold.

A compelling love story

Watching The Next Prince felt like stepping into a story I’ve always wanted to see come to life. As someone who adores the “damsel in distress” trope—but with a twist—this BL series gave me everything I hoped for and more. It’s not just a romance; it’s a beautifully woven tale of identity, duty, and love that defies boundaries.

NuNew Chawarin as Prince Khanin is absolutely captivating. His journey from an ordinary life in London to discovering his royal lineage in the fictional kingdom of Emmaly was both touching and empowering. And then there’s Zee Pruk Panich as Charan, the loyal and emotionally complex bodyguard whose quiet strength is impossible to ignore. Their chemistry is magnetic—every glance and moment between them brims with unspoken longing.

What made this series truly special for me is how it embraced the fantasy of royal life while grounding it in real emotions. The fencing scenes, the stunning palace visuals, and the layered court politics created a rich backdrop for a love story that felt genuine and earned. I was swept away by the tension, the softness, and the slow burn that led to something deeply affirming.

The Next Prince didn’t just entertain me—it made me feel seen. It gave me a love story where protection turned into partnership, and where the heart of a prince belonged not to tradition, but to the one who truly understood him.

⚠️ Warning: Fans might not like this. - Episode 1

⚠️ Warning: Fans might not like this.
What follows is a critical assessment of the first episode of The Next Prince. If you're a die-hard fan or expecting praise, consider this your fair notice.
Read on at your own risk.
*Episode 1*
1. It isn't a good idea to start a big series with montages of this type.
2. This really doesn’t help the audience immerse themselves in the story, right? Throwing a bunch of scenes without actually emotionally connecting people to it—no matter if what you're showing makes sense or not—doesn't work.
3. Just throw in faces of overly hormonal girls who are gonna end up with whom, before they realise they are not connected to character A in the first place. Mix gently, do not tilt, or spiders are gonna fall off of it.
4. Action scenes… that are pointless, where the most action comes from the cameraman (kudos to the cameraman, though) and the editor. Not even gonna refer to the boring modern fencing stuff. From a dramatic perspective, it is done badly.
5. Well, for such a long wait and for such an expensive drama, why not mention they did a poor job cutting the filler takes on the compass? The same goes for tension/mystery—they really tried hard, but you can learn to do that correctly only if not every answer you have for everything is a comic relief… (this one is a stab at all Thai series, not only The Next Prince.)
6. Overdramatize. Just close your eyes and stretch it as much as possible. Because that is a solution. Poor audience waiting for years for such a result. The first episode is a failure—maybe because of the obviously big production. Nothing about it is done smartly to make you want to continue watching, sadly. It is still as bland as Mandee Channel gets with their latest projects. So Cutie Pie still stands as their best series of all they’ve made.
7. A bunch of tropes thrown into the same spot—unfortunately in this case all in episode one, in the first half—will not make your series good. On the contrary. (Don’t get me wrong, by the way—without a doubt, there are gonna be many fans who will make sure this series doesn't drown. Unfortunately for all the parties involved—the company, the fans, and the series with these actors.)
8. Doing promo in such an obvious way for the food you sell elsewhere in the first episode is also not the brightest idea. Why not invite Engfa to chew it for you there? Would drag more people to watch it anyway.
9. I can’t say I am impressed with you using the training stick to get your actors to even get close for the first kiss on screen in this series either. I always feel bad seeing it in series. I wonder why you used it here, if it is such a big project.
10. You do not know how to work with a pause. Learn it—then you don’t have to overuse filler (and crap).
11. Even if I omit everything I said—which I won’t—for a first episode it is incredibly stuffed. Too stuffed for it to ever shine.
12. Oh, and in the next lifetime, can you please stop blurring the paintings and backgrounds and be more mindful about angles? You’ve learned how to move the camera—bravo—but don’t make goblins out of humans, thank you.
If it is done for 14-year-old girls, it can still hold some power, I guess. At least for some of them. If we compare it with other Thai BL series, it ranks somewhere around the worse end of the middle in quality.
I sincerely hope I will be able to give praise from now on, but as I doubt it, I guess there are only going to be a few points here and there this story can collect in the 4? months to follow. And as I have it on good authority, even the original work is bad… Well, that’s that. Still, pity the wait.

approx: 3/10

*Episode 2*

Ahhh, finally, I finished watching episode two. 😫

In Episode 1, I honestly didn’t think the series could survive on 3.5 potentially decent minutes—especially when both scenes were copy-pasted from other films. One from underage romance tropes, the other from adult real-life dramas—randomly stitched together.
I doubted the series could make it.
What I didn’t doubt is humanity’s endless need for therapy (and for good taste), but let’s talk about that another time.

Now, in Episode 2… they’ve shown that they might still have the potential to return to the level the company had in 2022. Overall, if you survive the first ~25 minutes (you are a hero), you will finally land somewhere… better. (Namely, the first 4 minutes are just plain horrible—only looking good visually in terms of production. Sadly, they messed up the first segment of the plane scene logically; it could have been good and nice, instead of just… nice. And don’t get me started on the idiotic fight scenes again.)

There’s more to work with here. That said, the main issues remain:

a) Characters are still not emotionally connecting to the audience. Instead of building those bridges, the story just skips ahead without foundation.

b) It’s still bland and boring.

c) It’s still illogical.

d) It is still indigestible—the toxic level of unnecessary overdramatization.

e) Characters do illogical things, and the narrative just pushes them together for the sake of pushing them together—disregarding how human beings actually act in such situations (if the situations ever happened like that).

f) The main narrative between the two leads is unwatchable and unengaging. (Though Jimmy… you managed to mess up his parts too, but we are glad to see him back.)

But: redeeming qualities are back—finally—in the form of the sweet side narrative! Looking for a needle in a haystack, it is, but finally, at least that. We got there. Yay, I guess?

In conclusion:
Unlike Episode 1, Episode 2 actually offered something interesting. And for me, interesting > well-done or beautiful. So yes, I’m improving the rating based on this episode.
And I suggest you pay close attention to what I’m saying.

I didn’t blame the actors for most of the issues in Episode 1—because much of it likely wasn’t their fault. They were either directed to act that way or were working with what they were given.
However, I won’t turn a blind eye to the shortcomings of such an expensive project that took so long to execute. It’s in my best interest for future episodes to at least meet Episode 2’s standard—or go beyond it.

Still, it’s not to my disadvantage if the series continues to decline—because either way, it becomes a learning material for me.
So no—I’m not afraid of giving lower or higher ratings, depending on the quality I see.
Again, I benefit either way.
And I do appreciate the rational, heartfelt feedback some of you have provided.
Thank you for that.

Pain N°1: This is probably going to be considered one of the better or best series of this year.
Why?
A1: Production.
A2: Fanbase.
A3: Lack of better projects.

Does it make this series one of the best? No.
Is it going to be enough? Yes.
In the department of kink and preferences, is it going to stand out (royal topic)? I fear yes, it will—and for quite some time.
Is it going to be trash from hindsight once better projects with this kink/preference/topic come out? I don’t predict so.

approx 7/10

*Episode 3*
In episode three, we repeatedly run into the same problems we've had since episode one.

Pain No. 2: The very degrading CGI everywhere is overwhelmingly annoying. It is indeed starting to become part of the bigger problem of this series. That high production value and choice of actors — that sheen — often mask what is essentially still a cheap, predictable, tropey, hollow political drama that tries to resemble Western royal dramas, without the socio-cultural weight, seriousness, and taste in design (or in drama).
The plot relies too heavily on bits and pieces of fan-service tropes and clichés, calculating drama rather than earning emotional arcs. Attempts at gravitas buckle under the weight of melodramatic scenes. Yet, where the real drama stands and could have a serious adult impact, we conveniently (and probably in tune with attention-lacking and memory-less writers, audience, and readers) skip it.
Shortcuts are our strengths, so mix Khanin’s non-existent royal awakening with a little spicy scene, while making the political intrigue meaningless.

Pain No. 3: Nunew's new colour. I just remembered my disagreement with this choice from before, when I saw him standing beside the ugly yellow curtain. EVERYTHING HERE is ugly yellow-orange. I would change my colour immediately after this scene back to the original.

Pain No. 4: Difference between a flag and a crest, please? Anyways, really? Not even trying to hide the roots of this?

Pain No. 5: Where cheapness again shows its horns is in the editing and camera work. This abundantly expensive project is supposed to be visually striking, and while I can't complain about the camera work in general or the wide shots, it embarrassingly struggles with close-ups and details.

+1* for the scenes and acting this time, -4* for... well, the design.

Side Dish: I must say, I’ve reflected on how people tend to criticize Zee’s performances and perceive him as someone who acts woodenly. On the other hand, NuNew is often admired for his expressive abilities. Well, we’ll discuss that later.

As someone who can recognize these nuances, I can confirm that Zee is often typecast into cold, reserved, unapproachable, aloof, stiff, and “wooden” (adult) roles—especially since working with Domundi. I understand that younger audiences, or those who aren’t particularly interested in acting, might interpret these as signs of stiffness or poor acting in general—whether they think it’s because he can’t act better (which he can) or because he’s being chosen for these roles precisely because the creators know he can’t act anything else better. I have seen him do more, so it’s either intentional or there’s another issue we won’t solve here and now by talking about it. However, I’ve seen some of his performances, and in terms of expression—he is actually very expressive. Personally, I don’t consider him a wooden actor at all. But let’s dissect this:

Facial Expression (Mimicry)
Zee is not stiff in this department. He is very expressive, particularly through his eyes.

Gestures and Physical Expression
Here, I could agree more—Zee can appear stiff. But really, this might just be due to his height. Many tall people who grew quickly tend to be more aware of their surroundings and therefore may not move as smoothly. Another factor that doesn’t help with elegance and smoothness in movement is… well, weightlifting and all the heavy training stuff. Just saying.

Intonation and Voice Work
Monotonous or unconvincing intonation... the delivery sometimes sounds like memorized text without genuine emotion. This is 50/50. I struggle with this issue in almost every actor from Thailand. They tend to be either overly emotional or entirely flat—both extremes are problematic. So yes, you might accuse Zee of that, and I could say the same about NuNew. Just because they’re on opposite ends of the spectrum doesn’t mean it isn’t the same issue. In fact, this applies to every Thai series... every actor. Send me examples of older Thai actors you think are strong in voice expression—I’ll thank you later.

Reacting to Other Actors
Because he appears wooden in other aspects, Zee often comes across as calm, composed, and attentive to others’ performances. So I’d say he reacts well and listens actively—or at least appears to do so. For this specific role, and his type of roles with NuNew in general, that works quite well.

Role Context and Direction
Here lies the greatest sin: poor direction, weak scripts, and characters that lack conflict and depth—roles pushed onto him rather than chosen (all are just possible examples)—are more to blame than any lack of acting skill. If a character isn’t well-developed or is designed only to make others look better, the actor isn’t given much to work with. In short, there might be a problem in the way he is being directed.
For these reasons, I don’t view Zee’s performances as stiff or wooden. But depending on what you focus on when evaluating acting, you might interpret it differently.

On the other hand, the widespread admiration for NuNew—while I understand your appreciation and acknowledge his likable personality in today’s Thai entertainment scene—isn’t, in my opinion, solid proof of high-quality or non-wooden acting. The fact that he’s often cast in feminine, tearful, hysterical, or overly emotional roles (which almost always end in crying as a form of - non+intentional - manipulation) speaks more to the limited imagination of the creators than to his actual range. Again—typecasting. The fact that one actor repeatedly gets a certain type of role and another gets a different type (and yes, these two are complementary together) doesn’t reflect their talent—or lack thereof—but instead reveals the uncreative thinking of creators obsessed with preserving the formula for financial success. It says nothing about what these actors are truly capable of.

That being said, I’m not criticizing NuNew the singer, the person—or even NuNew the performer, not here, not yet. But I do suggest that you stop crying along with him (God knows every Thai model trained for three months to act is a professional weeper—because it works, especially with... well, large audiences), and start to see behind the veil: is all this actually a sign of good acting? Is the crying even necessary? Or is it just something redundant done to cover other shortcomings with loud, hysterical, and over-the-top bouts of petulance/stubbornness?

approx 8/10


*Episode 4: Part One*
OK, side note, and I can't stress this enough. There is not a universe where you can promote this series as not a musical and not make it look incredibly cheap starting an episode like this. You can either promote it as a musical—or a heavily music-influenced movie/series, where you search specifically for those reasons a singer as MML—or you don't do this at all.

⚠️ok, because limits, the rest goes to review for the episode, maybe i will clean this all up after final episode, who knows ⚠️

*Episode 4: Part Two*

Pretty bad! The design and characters are nothing to complain about but the content is nothing groundbreaking, it couldn't keep me even though the first episode they had to do something impressive but no, it didn't live up to my expectations. I continued watching episode 2 but I wasn't as interested as before.

E lá vamos nós de decepção embalado com um laço bonito

Preciso comentar sobre The Next Prince, porque essa série me deixou num estado meio dividido, entre a frustração com algumas escolhas de roteiro e um carinho sincero por tudo que consegue funcionar bem ali, principalmente o casal principal.

A premissa é boa, dá pra ver que tem ambição ali: uma mistura de intriga palaciana, identidade perdida e romance. O problema é que às vezes a execução não acompanha a proposta. O ritmo no começo é bem arrastado, com muitos personagens e regras de corte sendo jogados de uma vez só. Tem momentos em que parece que a série está mais preocupada em parecer grandiosa do que em contar a história de forma fluida. E tem umas soluções de roteiro que soam fáceis demais, tipo a cena do teste de DNA. A revelação do pai biológico vem com um “99,99% de certeza” como se isso bastasse, sem laudo, sem contexto, só jogado mesmo. Faltou cuidado em parece coeso.

Apesar disso, o que realmente segura a série, e pra mim o que vale o investimento, é a relação entre o Khanin e o Charan. Não é aquele romance pronto, forçado pra agradar público. Eles têm atrito, desconfiança, raiva, e aos poucos vão se construindo um no outro. A química entre os dois é visível, mas não do tipo exagerada. O Charan é todo rígido, mas você percebe a mudança dele nos pequenos gestos, nos olhares, no cuidado com que passa a tratar o Khanin. Já o Khanin, mesmo confuso e ferido, vai criando coragem pra se posicionar, inclusive emocionalmente. E a atuação do NuNew aqui ta até que boa apesar de não ter tido tanta evolução aparente desde Cutie Pie.

Visualmente, a produção é bonita. Figurinos bem trabalhados, trilha sonora grandiosa, cenário de palácio que convence. Mas confesso que em alguns momentos parece que o visual quer compensar a falta de substância em certos diálogos ou cenas de transição.

Os personagens secundários, no geral, acabam sendo o ponto fraco da série. Alguns parecem jogados só pra cumprir função de encher trama ou criar conflito forçado. Um exemplo é o príncipe Ramil, que passa boa parte do tempo antagonizando o Khanin sem muita justificativa além de ciúme e ranço genérico. E isso é especialmente frustrante porque o ator é bom, tem presença, e o par romântico dele até funciona muito bem, o problema é que deram um papel raso demais pra alguém que podia entregar muito mais. Parece que ele foi escrito só pra cumprir a cota de rival, o que empobrece o núcleo secundário e desperdiça potencial.

Outro ponto que me incomodou foi a relação do Khanin com o pai biológico. A revelação já é feita de forma apressada, como comentei, mas o mais esquisito é o tom completamente frio com que o pai reage a tudo. É quase robótico. Em nenhum momento parece que ele tem algum vínculo real com o filho. Zero emoção, zero tentativa de aproximação. E ok, ele pode ser um cara duro, mas mesmo dentro desse perfil dava pra transmitir alguma coisa. Do jeito que foi, soou vazio mesmo. Não convenceu.

No fim das contas, o que me prendeu foi o desenvolvimento do vínculo entre os protagonistas. Não é rápido nem fácil, mas é construído com coerência emocional. Eles têm conflitos, não estão sempre na mesma página, e isso deixa um pouco mais interessante.

E, olha… o torneio de arco e flecha? Eu juro que por um momento achei que a Katniss Everdeen ia sair do meio da floresta. A estética é totalmente Jogos Vorazes, desde o cenário até a música de tensão. Não que seja mal feito, visualmente funciona, mas é tão estilizado que quase perde o propósito dentro da trama. Fica parecendo mais um clipe conceitual do que parte de uma disputa política real. Nessas horas, a série parece querer impressionar mais pelo visual do que pelo conteúdo em si.

E por fim, não tem como deixar de comentar a parte dos protestos e da questão ambiental envolvendo as minas. A série constrói esse conflito como se fosse algo central, com manifestantes, ameaças, chantagens políticas, até cenas de confronto, e realmente parece que aquilo vai ser um dos grandes motores da trama. Aí quando chega perto do final, tudo é resolvido de forma rasa, como se fosse só um obstáculo de roteiro pra mover o príncipe de um lugar ao outro.

É decepcionante porque, até ali, parecia que a série queria levantar discussões maiores: sobre justiça, responsabilidade do Estado, sobre escutar o povo. Mas na hora de concluir, joga uma solução qualquer e finge que está tudo bem. As consequências somem, ninguém fala mais sobre os impactos, sobre as mortes ou os abusos de poder. Fica parecendo que usaram o tema só pra dar um verniz de “profundidade” à história, sem se comprometer de verdade. E aí enfraquece não só a mensagem, mas também o próprio arco do Khanin como futuro líder. Faltou coragem pra levar essa parte até o fim com consistência.

Por fim, The Next Prince definitivamente não é uma série perfeita, longe disso. Tem tropeços no roteiro, exageros no tom, muitas partes caricatas, e uma certa hesitação em mergulhar mais fundo nas próprias ideias. Mas quando ela acerta, especialmente nos momentos entre Charan e Khanin, acerta em cheio. Se for assistir esperando só romance, pode estranhar o ritmo lento e a política envolvida. Mas se tiver paciência pra acompanhar a trajetória dos dois, e a tentativa de fazer uma história profunda, acho que vale a pena.

Agora, se não derem continuidade a essa história ou se deixarem o final em aberto, sinceramente, vai ser um desperdício. Porque tem base ali pra algo muito maior do que só mais um BL com cara de realeza. Mas se for pra fazer outra temporada rasa igual a essa, melhor parar por aqui, não precisa estragar ainda mais o que já não ta muito bom.

TEN PASTA PARA HACER UN FANFIC , PERO NO HACER UNA BUENA HISTORIA

Soporifera, han habido muchos momentos que he pensado en dejarla, muchos capitulos que los he visto x2 y que me he saltado escenas (por ejemplo todas las de cama, no me interesaban).
Muchos personajes para centrarme solo en los principales y encima no hacer que evolucionen y crezcan. Es un fanfic para las fans de NuNew y Zee, no hay ninguna historia que contar.
Puedo aceptar muchas cosas en alto y escenas aburridas y todo pero porque me quitas a la Ava si era lo unico que me gustaba. Es muy conveniente para el ultimo episodio que solo sean dos clanes. Pesimo guión, esperaba mucho mas para el presupuesto que tenian. La historia ''empieza'' en el capitulo 7 antes todo aburrimiento puro y duro.
No merece para nada ganar Khanin , hasta hace poco se la sudaba la competición y se notaba que no ponia empeño. No es que Ramil sea mejor pero prefiero que gane el a Khanin. Mi verdadera ganadora es Ava.
La primera prueba de conocimiento pensaba que era un trivial , no responder esas preguntas cursis que no llevan a ningun sitio.
La manifestación podría tener un poco de sentido y gustarme mas si no ha hubieran convertido en una versión barata de los Miserables.
Primera vez y ultima viendo una serie de NuNew y Zee, aburrida su actuación.
El persona de Khanin no crece ni evoluciona, era mas interesante cuando estaba en Inglaterra.
La parte de politica en la serie es floja y mal traida, no me importa que me traigas politica, es mas me gusta pero si tiene algo que ver y esta bien llevada cosa que aquí no pasa.
Ya era republicana pero es que esta serie ha aumentado mis ganas de derrocar a la monarquía ya sea ficticia o en la realidad en cualquier estado.
Esta serie es un constante 'Todo por el pueblo pero sin el pueblo' y encima los otros siguen dandole una lealtad que es que no tiene sentido. Es como la lealtad de las fans a una serie que no tiene ni pies ni cabeza, se que en Domundi inflan los numeros del hashtag pero tanto cuesta decir por parte de las fans de todas las parejas que estan e esta serie , que la historia es mala, se que duele por haber estado esperando tanto, pero es por eso que hay que demandar mas nivel.

Horrível, desculpem quem gostou... mas odiei

Foi realmente um dos piores BL que já assisti, história ruim de mais. Legítimo 'Prometeu e não entregou nada'.
A única coisa que salvou foi a atuação de alguns atores, mas vou ser sincera, Nunew é cansativo demais, todos os papéis dele é do mesmo jeito, ele não evoluí uma vírgula na atuação, na minha opinião ele e a história ruim, com um rei que mais parecia o vilão da história, foi o que acabaram com esse BL.
Figurino e locais de gravação foram impecável, vale ressaltar isso.
Realmente me desculpo se você é fã e gostou, mas pra mim, deixou demais a desejar.

Tanto presupuesto para nada

No tenía muchas expectativas por bls pasados que había hecho esta empresa, pero como la anunciaban como el mejor bl de la historia con una pedazo de producción alucinante, decidí verla.
Los primeros capítulos me callaron la boca porque se notaba que había dinero y buenos decorados, además de que la historia estaba entretenida y te animaba a verla. No se en que momento se volvió insoportable de ver, hay episodios en los que me ha saltado la mitad porque simplemente era un tostón.
La historia de los protagonistas avanza demasiado rápido, además de ser aburridísima y poco interesante sin evolución. Por otra parte, la pareja secundaria tenía una historia interesante tratando un tema con peso, el cual podrían haber explotado mucho más, pero es pasado por alto sin ninguna explicación de como, por ejemplo, la manera en la que Paytai permite la forma en la que le trata Ramil. De Calvin y Jay, no puedo hablar de su historia porque han sido migajas y pequeñas interacciones. Sinceramente, al guionista le deberían de quitar el título si es que lo tiene, estoy segura de que hay chavalas en wattpad que escriben mejores historias y con más sentido.
En cuanto a la actuación, deberían haber invertido más en una clasecitas y menos en los escenarios y vestuarios. Zee hace del mismo personaje que en Cutie Pie y Nunew hace de sí mismo como siempre; de hecho si me pones Cutie Pie y al lado The Next Prince solo sería capaz de distinguirlas por la ropa. También siento que no se adaptan bien a los roles y que había gente en la empresa a la que le hubiese quedado mejor esos papeles. Jimmy y Ohm para ser su primera serie juntos, se comen a la pareja principal en todos los aspectos. Net sé que es bastante decente actuando por sus antiguas series y JJ no sabría que decir porque ha salido super poco, aunque lo poquito que ha salido lo ha hecho bien; me siento mal por ellos, porque imagina que escenas de nc sean más largas que tu tiempo en un episodio.
En mi opinión, la serie en sí es una completa decepción, la historia no hay por donde cogerla y los episodios son demasiados, además de ser largos. Aunque, aún así no hay suficiente tiempo para desarrollar la historia de los demás personajes. Siento que toda la serie está enfocada en las fans de ZeeNunew y si a ellas le ha gustado, la opinión de los demás no importa.
P.D: Zee debería de cambiar de pareja si de verdad le importa su carrera y quiere seguir avanzando como actor.

queria ter gostado, mas não rolou

era o bl que eu mais aguardava e mais tinha expectativas pra esse ano. e eu não vou mentir: eu amei no início. sempre que chegava um sábado, era motivo de alegria, porque eu iria assistir the next prince. mas, infelizmente, só a primeira metade do bl foi boa e satisfatória pra mim. o restante dos episódios eu fui só empurrando com a barriga porque eu adoro os zeenunew e não queria vir a dropar uma série deles (pela segunda vez, inclusive). eu tive opiniões muito mistas ao decorrer do bl. ele teve seus momentos bons, sim, mas falhou em muita coisa. não dá pra negar que a produção é impecável. é tudo muito bem ambientado, com figurinos lindos, locações lindas, fotografia excelente. dá pra ver claramente que houve muito investimento. só que eu queria muito que o roteiro tivesse acompanhado essa qualidade de produção. são 14 episódios, alguns com mais de uma hora de duração, mas quase tudo é mal desenvolvido. e tempo para desenvolver não faltou. agora falando nos pontos positivos, eu adorei o khanin, acho ele um personagem muito bem resolvido. gosto de como ele é convicto no que quer, e achei o final dele coerente. afinal, nunca foi da vontade dele ser príncipe. também amei que, enquanto ocupou esse papel, ele sempre (ou pelo menos tentou) levantar a voz para causas sociais. a dinâmica do casal principal foi, sem dúvida, a melhor coisa da série. amo o contraste entre as personalidades deles, e a química que só os znn poderiam entregar. as cenas entre eles transbordam amor e delicadeza, e isso segurou muito da minha vontade de continuar assistindo. infelizmente, a mesma qualidade vista na dinâmica do casal principal não se reflete nos outros relacionamentos da série. a dinâmica do ramil e do paytai deixou a desejar. faltou desenvolvimento, e o plot deles é justamente o tipo que precisa disso. mas foi simplesmente jogado na nossa cara. o mesmo vale pra calvin e jay, que foram completamente esquecidos no churrasco. e isso é ainda mais frustrante quando se lembra que a série teve tempo pra desenvolver esses casais. os personagens, no geral, também são mal aproveitados, e o plot de fundo sofre do mesmo problema. a segunda metade do drama foi, na minha opinião, chatíssima. muito arrastada, com uma encheção de linguiça que cansava. o plot da mina foi introduzido de maneira abrupta, assim como toda a parte do suspense, que falhou em ser desenvolvido. pareceu que os roteiristas perderam totalmente o rumo, a série simplesmente mudou de tom. teria sido bem melhor se tivessem introduzido esse novo arco aos poucos, intercalando com o desenvolvimento dos personagens e dos casais. mas não: optaram por um ritmo desequilibrado e um enredo desconexo, que só afundou cada vez mais. e a ava... eu amava ela. ela passou a série inteira lutando por igualdade de gênero, exigindo o direito das mulheres de competir pelo trono, e aí, no penúltimo episódio, ela desiste quando só faltava uma prova? foi completamente incoerente com tudo que a personagem representava até ali. uma pena mesmo, eu odiei essa escolha do roteiro. a disputa pelo trono, que era a grande promessa desde o início, também não me envolveu tanto. no fim, pra mim foi uma decepção. teve momentos que eu gostei, mas não deu pra ignorar toda a bagunça no roteiro. gastaram tanto tempo investindo na produção e esqueceram do desenvolvimento da história e dos personagens. tinha tanto potencial, mas não entregaram tudo isso.
