Car park

I think a lot of people could have written this, it's pretty pedestrian writing. Compare to Royal Nemesis where the convo is actually witty and entertaining. The concept was interesting, but poorly executed. No wonder the leads' acting is getting criticized. They had zip to work with.

Flex cop. Lol.

I agree w you! But imo they way overdid a bag of subway brought to a 5 star hotel. But could be they were trying to be funny idk.

And what was that ridiculous subway ad where she’s actually bringing a bag of subway into a 5 star hotel where they could order room service? They way overdid that PPL

Yeah but RN is only 2 eps a week, so far much better than this bog-standard writing. Yes the leads don’t have much to work with. Makes you appreciate how hard it is to do a good drama. But honestly it begins w the script.

Something I haven't seen addressed, she comes right out and says "I'm marrying for status" and then says "And we'll divorce in 3 years"---WHAT? Isn't the point of royalty to NOT get divorced? To supposedly be a role model for the citizens? They're so worried about status in this drama and then it's OK to have a loveless marriage right from the start (bad enough but frequently in Kdramaland) and then before they even marry talk about the inevitable divorce? lol...and he supposedly is so in love w a shallow woman like this? It's a total turn off for me, this kind of thinking. Not to mention the bad acting (what's w IU rolling her eyes so often, the character's personality is all over the place), and ML looking bored.

She clearly says she wants status but I honestly couldn’t figure out why he was willing to marry her. Especially when she also clearly says right away “and then we can get divorced!” Like royalty isn’t supposed to be providing good role models

She was a good co worker but no chemistry at all.

He’s got the same expression on his face pretty much the whole drama

She’s all over the place. It’s weird.

I’m kinda shocked how bad it is. And it gets such good ratings.

I’m watching this bc there’s literally nothing else good on (I’m waiting for Royal Nemesis this weekend)
I’m really surprised how pedestrian the writing is, esp considering the star power. Let alone no chemistry and weird acting by IU. ML is just pretty much phlegmatic the whole time.
Whenever I see a drama and think “I could have written this,” it’s NOT a good sign.
With an 8.5 rating I thought was going to be good.

I would rate this 9 and SOOY a 5. As gmat says, taste is subjective.

I love it when they scream at each other, like in the flower scene

Weird!

Good point!

I really wish I knew Korean so I could appreciate her accent and Josean language/vocab

PS the scene w the flowers/swords was so hilarious, w all the screaming

Charles walked her down the aisle but was her own refusal to integrate and accept the royal protocol as well as her own nasty behavior that sunk their boat.
