Moon River

One of the best of 2025 (for me)

Everything in the story has its purpose, even if it doesn't seem like it at first.

The OST superb.

It has a great balance of comedy and seriousness, the story itself is very dense so the comedy is very much appreciated, and it never falls into cringe territory.

The main couple's chemistry is amazing, they share so many little moments it's impossible not to root for them, you can truly feel they are bounded by fate.

Overall amazing drama, the only fault is some casting choices (at first, it's jarring, towards the end the actress improves so much, I'm happy for her)

Round and round we go ...

we kept going in circles and repeating same events for 9 or 10 episodes , it started strong then became weird and confusing with the body swapping then dragged till we got a great ending

I know this one has fantasy in it but the body swapping at first made no sense, couldn't get how it served the plot yet as we go on , we get to see that made it was for living in each other shoes for once she saw how helpless he and his father we against kim han cheol, and he saw how it was difficult for her to stay by his side yet she chose to .

so here what went wrong : when you keep building plot in one direction which is to find the bird and prove the late queen was poisoned and killed and the owner of the bird was the killer , you just kill the bird in the stupidest way yet crown prince wasn't mad or anything , he forget about his revenge for a second there

it made no sense that he loved park dal and starting forgetting about his late wife even though we saw how her death tormented him yet he seemed to forget about it all when he fell in love with dal.

kim han cheol was willing to go very far for his revenge we get he hated the royal family for causing the death of his love yet he was a coward who left her for the king , I know of course he couldn't say no to the king or confront him yet he could have taken her and run away , trying to kill park dal when she was crown princess was just like what the royal family did to him , if he hated it so much why let other go through the same thing although they did nothing wrong .

kim han cheol didn't even had a clear goal , he wanted his daughter to marry the cp and one day become the empress for what , he was already controlling the king and crown prince . let's talk about making a strong villain with no clear goal .
