Frustrating plot full of holes
I saw an advertisement for this show on YouTube and it had an interesting premise—a Joseon era prince going to the modern era to solve a mystery around his murdered princess. But aside from that, this show was a whole nothing burger for me. There were so many cringy filler scenes that didn’t move the plot along, if you removed them the real content is like 10 episodes but they padded it up to 20. I can’t sit through minutes of people walking around sadly with melodramatic music playing in the background, or running around looking for each other when you can just make a call.
The main cast’s acting is pretty good, and they have good chemistry. The villains are well played, very easily detestable. Some of the side characters are really cringy, but I guess that’s for comedic purposes.
One of the most frustrating thing for me is how the protagonists make really stupid decisions and have 0 sense of self-protection. At the beginning they are naive, OK that makes sense. But as the plot progresses, they know what they’re up against and they still make foolish naive choices. And the lack of communication between the protagonists omg. It’s an insult to the viewer’s intelligence.
