Oh, please leave the ratings. No one knows how many of those ratings were bought and how many, like me, were disappointed by the ending.
Up until episode 10, it was perfect. The acting, the atmosphere, the exchanges, even the weak detective storyline (Koreans are always bad at that), and even the tepid intrigues. It was all overlooked because the main idea was about healing and winning your place.
And then the hero just gave up on everything.
WTF?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The worst ending in the last 5-9 years for sure. -10 stars

Power corrupts. Let the politicians give up power and there will be anarchy?
Money corrupts. Let's take the money from the chaebols and build communism?
Fame creates pressure. Should we cancel all K-pop idols?
That's idiotic.
The example of the prince and his wife showed exactly what happens when the right person gets into the right place.
When she suddenly started suffering from the attention—that was stupid. A woman who enjoyed it suddenly started suffering. WTF?!!!

Yes, I understand. The culture of hating actors is disgusting. As if they are the final authority for complaints.

The most annoying thing is that, judging by how everything was done, I was sure that we were in for a delightful, romantic fairytale ending, like they lived happily ever after and ruled the whole country for the good. That would have been perfect in this story. But no, they had to slap on some idiotic equality (yeah, in a country where the Chabols are outlawed!!!) I'm terribly upset.

I'm telling you, the screenwriter doesn't understand how politics works. How exactly did they remove barriers? Did Korean society suddenly change with a single decree? What the king is doing is a revolution. And where's the revolution? There was a monarchy—it disappeared without anyone noticing. The prime minister was elected. The government was purely nominal and focused on charitable projects, propping up the very same population that doesn't support capitalism.
How did social stratification suddenly disappear?
They took money from the chaebols and gave it to the poor?

I'm not saying I didn't understand her, I'm saying the reason is idiotic.

I repeat, are you ready to give up your money and your career for something stupid?

The screenwriter doesn't understand monarchies, influence, or politics. He created a fairytale monarchy in the spirit of Korean idols (that's what he knows), and in episodes 11 and 12, the gaps in his logic really poke my eyes out.

I agree with the logic behind the monarchy. The screenwriter doesn't understand how a monarchy works or why it was even necessary in the 21st century.
But the main couple's development and their charm were beautifully written.

OMG! This has such a profound effect on the plot! We're all going to die!!!
What floor did you jump from to lose your brains completely?

yeah, go look at your pathetic verticals.

I recommend learning Korean and reading more.
The romance was perfect. It wasn't tactile. Everything was built on exchanges and hints, sometimes more intimate and serious than the simple "grabbed her and pushed her into the wall" scenario.
Yes, the ending was the height of idiocy. But everything was perfect until episode 10.
Yes, there were some logical holes, and the world wasn't well-thought-out. But overall, everything was filmed in such a way that we didn't notice them. The couple was at the center, and their bonding and healing were at the center.
And then logic left the chat, and the idiocy began.

Give me an example of a drama you consider perfect, and I'll show you how wrong you are.
I advise you to improve your tastes or avoid showing off your incredible lack of understanding of acting and directing.

What nonsense is this?
Why should something trivial like a prop appearing for a few seconds warrant an apology? Why couldn't the crowns and shouts have been similar to Chinese ones? What's the problem? Korea was under Chinese rule for a long time. What's the point of denying history and trying to make a big deal out of it?
In the 21st century, Korea and China have no connection. So why all this stupid, pointless scandal?

Why do you think the crown in this universe wasn't subordinate to China for longer?
Why couldn't Korea keep its crown like China's?
Half of the European monarchs wore the same crown.

Then why didn't she turn down the role?
I like her, but either you're an actress and play the role, or you let another actress play it if you can't do it yourself.

Ideal????
Are you willing to give your house to charity, give up your career, and go somewhere in the mountains to grow cabbage???
What nonsense. Have you ever seen a single chaebol who refused money? How could a king give up everything for... and for what?!
My God, I'm shocked.

Why? Even in a Korean drama, they couldn't stand a monarchy on the throne. And the Chinese will turn it into a complete nightmare.

The first 10 episodes are great. Then the idiocy sets in.
As always with Korean dramas.

They're experts at delivering lame, vague endings to romantic dramas.

Why should the actors and the director have to apologize for some insignificant little details in a fictional parallel world?

They’d better apologize for that idiotic ending.

You know what? Thank God they didn’t drag this stupidity out for another four episodes.

At least they showed us right away that the writer is a clumsy, incompetent idiot.

I’m also the kind of person who needs to vent my rage somewhere, so don’t take this as a personal attack on the actor. Just ignore it.

The last episodes pissed me off so much that I deliberately went into the comments just to spit venom. Not at Woo Seok — he and IU were wonderful. But the ending? The script for that was written by some pathetic, ham-fisted idiot.

If I could, I’d be even more toxic.
