A lot better than the first season, glad that it had a happy ending, nothing beats a wholesome finale after 30 episodes of drama. The synergy of the main characters was something to behold, the FMC in the second season was better than the FMC in the first season, the role fitted her better. The pace of the show was better here, without extra fluff just for the episode meter to go up. It had a lot more action, Jang Uk had a tremendous upgrade, the grumpy, sad, but still a kind heart was a menace to his enemies. Naksu with her amnesic phase was a sweet girl that wasn't yet a vengeance/killing machine. Overall a great series, glad that I picked it up.
A lot of bad reviews, but I found this really enjoyable, yeah it has some bad parts, the story has some ups and downs and it drags sometimes, even so it was a fun ride. The actors gave life to the characters, it felt like they were having fun filming this, maybe it's just me, who knows? The main leads needed some more time together, them falling in love just because one is a good cook and one knows what good food isn't really a good reason for them loving each other, yes they had some moments, but to far between each other. The cooking part was another thing that I enjoyed watching, it gave me Shokugeki no Souma vibes when they were competing with the Ming guys. Lastly I wished they showed how the king got to the future and how he managed to get by until he met her again, plus some if we are on the wishing part, some of the plot points were not really explained well, as to why his mother needed to die, why didn't his uncle take the throne, what happened to the inventor in the future, so on and so forth. All in all, it was a nice ride.
It's often the same way how the evil guys are punished in these type of shows. It's this or exile and after a while they are found dead by poison or assassination.
The rating for this is a bit lower than I would give it, it was an enjoyable show, the main leads were amazing, needed some more screentime together, but it was what it was, the rest of the cast played really well the roles that they were given. Story wise it has its hiccups, but, I overall really enjoyed it. Loved the fact the the FML was a clever girl it complimented the ML really well.
They mashed 60 plus episodes in just 5 episodes and they got away with it, the story was coherent and they didn't fumble it. Even so, it could've been better, because the show was so short the characters were paper thin and I couldn't really care about them that much which is a shame, because the parent story was amazing on this regard. Overall a decent show, candy to the eyes, the visual and ost were amazing, the acting was ok, the only thing that I really wanted was for show to be a tad longer.
I found the 2nd movie better overall, but this had its charm especially since it paved the way towards the 4th one and it will be a blast, if it will follow the source material.
I finished it!! It took me some time to be honest, about a month or so, I didn't think it would take me so much because I eat these zombie shows on bread for breakfast, but this was one was hard to chew and swallow. I suspected that this will be another ' sweet home' and I wasn't to far with my guess. All in all, the only thing that this got right was the acting and the OST. The story was subpar, the chemistry was there, but it didn't feel right most of the times, the direction of the action scenes were mostly stupid. Here ends my ranting, I just had to say my piece.
completely agree with you! I read your comment before starting to watch this drama! but even though thought to…
High rated shows are just traps that await their victims, and as usual people like you and me fall for them all the time. It's to bad that we waste our precious time with them, and time is a resource that we can't find anywhere.
And this is how you make a good adaptation, not the famous DBZ, looking at you as well Bleach, even if it was mildly acceptable, of course let's not forget about attack on titan, and I know that Witcher isn't an adaptation of an anime/manga, but if those bird brains of a producers watched this show, take some lessons, this is how you do it, make new people who don't know jack about the world and people who already love this series, myself included here, enjoy your work, with dedication and respect for the source material. Of course this wasn't perfect by any means, but it was perfect for me and I loved every minute of it. This, Kenshin and Alice in Borderland , are the best adaptations of an anime/manga so far.
I dont agree with no chemistry. They are grown up woman and Doom after all. They cant have fluffy romcom romance.…
Everyone is entitled to an opinion, mine was the one I wrote above, with that being said, I respect yours. This is another opinion of mine, we, most of us anyway, watch this types of shows for the fluffy things, not for the reality of it, at least that's why I am watching them.
If someone were to ask me how I would describe this show I would probably use the words ' a boring waste of time'. The acting was ok, not the best, there were instances where I had to skip because of the annoying crying of her kid brother. The story wasn't anything to write home about if there was any to begin with. The main leads had no chemistry with each other.
I haven't finished it yet but damn - there is no chemistry between the main leads. I'm actually more excited so…
I feel this comment! These were my thoughts exactly, there isn't any spark between them, it feels forced. The 2nd couple makes this show still compelling for me.

Anyway it could've been a lot better than this :) .
