I saw a lot of people talking about how good The Haunted Palace was so I went ahead and gave it a try since I’m a fan of the ML actor, plus it’s about a haunted palace. I’m a sucker for anything haunted. When it started, the narrator was talking about how a dragon was supposed to ascend after 1,000 years, but unfortunately fell from the sky while a war was raging at the time. I have a soft spot for any dramas that have dragon characters, so I was like yeah I’m going to stick with this. I didn’t realize the dragon character’s spirit took over the royal scribe’s body. It was interesting to watch. I love the ML’s playful personality. He hated humans but grew to like them along the way after experiencing life inside a human body. It was funny and sad at the same time since one of the topics here was about the loss of loved ones and how we forgive and let go of our grudges. The ML started following the FL who was only 13 years old at the time. She thought he was an evil spirit. The FL actress was a little bland. I’m not sure. Maybe it’s just her character for being that way? I don’t like dead fish kisses. Their lips barely even touched, and it just makes me laugh whenever I see them kiss like that. Anyway, I liked the ending. I’m glad they didn’t follow the usual trend of ending dramas on a sad note where one of the leads die. Especially with fantasy dramas. That irks me so much when they do that. It starts off so well and then… kaput. It’s a decent drama for me. I watched it without expectations and it did not disappoint.
