Bonkers
I very much like the two leads in this drama, but in places the plot got so bizarre it took me right out of the story. In some places, the over-the-top silliness just broke my brain. Of course not everything has to be high art, but at some point I could no longer suspend my disbelief.
There’s one scene in particular on a plane where our whack–a--doodle FL passes herself off as a doctor and volunteers to heal a rando patient who turns out to be... sorry, not going to spill the beans here.
And that’s just the tip of the bonkers berg. I couldn’t really get what he saw in someone who was obviously a mental case (at least, so it appeared)–or what she saw in him, a man who alternated between concern and contempt.
This drama makes me suspect that we women are trading the exercise of our intelligence for romantic fantasies and mindless blather. Is that always a bad thing? Naw. Not if you keep part of your brain in the real world.
I always like a series where an arrogant, supercilious chaebol gets kicked around by a feisty female. If that appeals to you, you’ll like MY ROYAL NEMESIS.
Mostly I DID like it.
