Something about the FL stiff face, acting doesn't feel too natural either. ML is ok here but storyline is average.…
Agreed! Some of the acting was very wooden, from both actors (when she had to cry and he had to act crazy) and the FL in the next drama he's in (Dusk Love) seems even worse! 😞 The law of diminishing returns for his Republican dramas, methinks.
A 🔥 red flag we all like to read about and watch in dramas as completely morally good guys are usually boring…
When you state dramas, I do think internationally instead of just C-dramas. And sometimes there IS scenes similar to Hollywood films and TV in C-dramas (and vice-versa), so while they're from different countries, they can be an overlap of themes.
To be honest, most male characters in historical C-dramas that I've seen have been screwed up to some degree but that isn't to say they couldn't be written to be less toxic and still be passionate kissers🤷♀️
Unsurprised by this, as I had an inkling this would happen. Japan tends to be more loyal to the source material, so this has potential! They just need to ignore what occurs in episode 12 onwards, really.
Agreed about the actress, though.

Ep1 part 1 is muted, though.
This Korean version went off the rails by episode twelve so I'd like to see it done better.

I'll add Different Princess to my watchlist!
