Great potential, disappointing execution, and an ending that simply wasn’t worth the journey.
Royal Betrothal — Final Thoughts
Royal Betrothal was honestly a huge disappointment for me. I stayed until the end because I was invested in the story and especially the side characters, whom I often liked more than the main leads.
Unfortunately, I felt Chen Zheyuan and Wu Jinyan had little to no chemistry, and their pairing didn’t work for me. The main couple kept going in circles, and whenever the story became interesting, the drama would slow down with unnecessary scenes between them—only for the ending to feel extremely underwhelming.
There were also too many plot holes and unresolved storylines. My favourite side couple, Zhili and Di Nian, didn’t get the happy ending they deserved, while Nian’s death was heartbreaking. I also thought Zhishi and Fuzhi had better chemistry than the main couple, but their story became frustrating as they fought over Meng Tinghui.
Overall, the drama had potential, but the execution and ending left me feeling like I wasted my time. I stayed because of the side characters, not the main romance.
