Finally a romcom that's super satisfying

Perfect Crown took me out of kdrama drought and finally let me re-live those classic romcoms from past years. I am so glad I started this and did not hesitate. It was worth the watch.

I went into watching this drama having low expectation because I didn't even know that it would be airing this year, randomly saw a clip on socmed, then here I am. The first episode is my anchoring point, it was really exciting and good, then it got even better 3-4 eps. From then on, I become glued to this drama.

It perfectly delivered on the romcom aspect. I was giggling and kicking my feet like a teenager. It is just that good. Was this Cliche? yes BUT ITS SO ADDICTINGLY GOOD. I didn't cringe at all, but instead felt like I was transported back to my teenager self who used to enjoy such type of dramas so much. It's nostalgic in a way.

The development of the romance between the main leads were balanced and paced well. It was sort of a slow burn so it hits alot more differently when they finally got together which I had loved that they didn't rush. Each episode of this drama contained so many iconic scenes, I can't even easily pick a favorite scene because each scene between the main leads are so memorable it's hard to pick just one. Apart from romance aspect, the chemistry between iu and byeon wooseok set the bar so high. I think they had the strongest chem compared to their previous drama partners. It's funny how they used to play ex-lovers back in scarlet heart. I can't accurately describe it but their chemistry is just DIFFERENT. Like, they have the strongest magnetic pull.

IU and Byeon wooseok act amazingly in this drama. They portrayed their character well. Special mention to their crying and emotional scenes because their performance there deserves recognition. Their potrayal was so convincing, that's how good they are. Apart from the good story, their immersive acting in this drama made me want to look forward to their next projects. I can never see anyone else but them playing their respective roles for Perfect Crown.

The ending of this drama was so satisfying. I love how they really gave us more romance of the mainleads rather than focusing too much on palace politics. I also love how everything was resolve quickly because it gave more room for precious moments between the leads. It's overall a light watch with very satisfying romance. I also really liked the healthy communication the lead had and how we never got a really long separation arc instead they were always together.

I enjoyed almost everything about perfect crown and badly wish there was season 2 or the episodes were longer. I hope IU and BWS can collaborate in another project again one day, even if it sounds impossible. This will definitely go to my rewatch and fav kdrama list.

Seong Huiju and Iwan may you be happy forever!
