Princess, Make Way (2023)

Senza infamia e senza lode, pieno dei soliti cliché, per un elenco non esaustivo che parte dalla protagonista forte, ma che improvvisamente deve comunque essere salvata, passando per le false identità, gli avvelenamenti, le famiglie sterminate e... sissignori, l'amnesia!
Chiaramente un progetto a basso costo, ma che si difende comunque bene, sia pure con le poche ambientazioni e costumi, che rimangono tuttavia più che decenti.
Non molto chiari i limiti temporali delle abilità di mascheramento della protagonista, che dovrebbero limitarsi a 6 ore, ma paiono perdurare anche dopo una notte di sonno. Vabbeh.
Recitazione decisamente sopra il minimo edittale, un drama tutto sommato piacevole, buono per passare qualche ora in relax senza impegnare il cervello.
Ad onta di chi si lamenta del finale aperto, a me è parso chiusissimo, con un lieto fine.

Not the ending again...

I really wanted to add this drama to my favorite short dramas but it didn't make the cut...

The cast are all good-looking with decent enough acting. The leads have good chemistry which increases by the second half of the drama.
The costumes look good enough to me, specially the ML's.

It is filled with cliche but it didn't drag on so it was nice. Fl wasn't dumb so it was also nice.

Here is what we have here :
-hidden identity (which doesn't last much long!)
-enemy to lovers
-good chemistry
-jealousy over misunderstandings (it wasn't annoying!)
-amnesia (doesn't occupy whole drama)
-break up
-possible reunion
-secondary couple
-good support characters for both ML & FL.
-very little screen time for villains

The comedy becomes stupid sometimes but it wasn't bad either.

I enjoyed watching this drama more than I expected! It was meh at the start but it got better as I continued watching, the plot was simple yet interesting. There aren't too important plot holes either in my opinion.
It got ruined for me with the ending.
I'm just not a fan of open endings. you could interpret it as happy or sad.. I was prepared to give it an 8 until I reached the ending. I'll give it a 7 cause overall it was entertaining.

So what to do? watch or not watch?
*if you like light romance with little tiny bit of palace shenanigans and don't mind open endings, go for it.
**if you like obvious happy endings, move on, it's not for you.
