Prisoner of Beauty: A Subtle Period Drama with Meaningful Love
I liked Prisoner of Beauty, though I wouldn’t say I loved it. The chemistry between the main leads was enjoyable, and surprisingly, I also liked the bond between the female lead’s cousin and her husband—it added depth. I read that the drama is based on a novel, but the adaptation felt more subtle and viewer-friendly compared to the source material.
What stood out most to me was how love was portrayed—not driven by lust but built on trust, which felt refreshing for a period drama. The political and war elements were just “okay” in my opinion, but they didn’t drag the story down. Overall, the production quality was strong, and I never felt bored while watching.
