TBH, it was okay-ish for like seven episodes and then it veered off course.
The biggest issue is that both male leads are largely absent and are not being developed concurrently with the FLs. The amount of screentime for the first ML amounts to maybe 40 mins or less. He's more like a prop instead of a fully fleshed character.
I'd never even heard of him before last week but I'm watching Pinnochio now and his performance is mesmerizing. I can't wait to delve into his other dramas
I love how they loved Lee Rang's character so much that they actually went for a prequel like this.
As far as I'm concerned, Lee Rang's character was the MAIN attraction of "Tale of the Nine Tailed". Kim Bum brought so much humanity to the series and made a character who we could have easily disliked so lovable.
In the same way SK copied China's Scarlett Heart, there are many Chinese shows that have been based on Sk dramas; however, that doesn't mean the writers plagiarized. Do you even have any proof to substantiate this claim? Moreover, anyone who's watched Jewel in the Palace can immediately see that the only similarity is the profession of the female lead. Should we then accuse the makers of "Royal Feast" of plagiarism since it also is a palace drama with a female chef who falls for the Crown Prince?
Same question I asked. Why did he hold on to the guy's leg if he wasn't going to do anything? Made no sense.
