Great start, dropped the ball midway
When The First Night With The Duke started, it was one of my favourite dramas airing. Then somewhere in between it started to get boring.
I think when the drama became serious and cliched is when it lost my interest. The very typical crazy king, another faction trying to manipulate and capture the throne, helpless female lead, etc. The last one is what put me off the most since everything revolves around her. Capturing her was the worst plot move. I wanted her to keep driving the plot forward and not just from the background.
Other factors were: The FL in the modern world didn't look happy at all. The baby propaganda was over the top. Having 12 kids when healthcare for women was the worst sounds more like a nightmare than a dream.
The breaking the 4th wall ending was a bit too cheesy for me. Maybe if the lines were better I would have liked it.
But for the great first half and lovely opening, good negative female cast members, I'm giving this a 7.5.
