Zee: OMG, I have an idea for a royal series I wanna do with Nunew. Very princey, very royal.
Aof(director): Ohhh sounds good, I'd commission a writer and have a novel written.
Writer: Here you go, your novel.
Me: *read it, enjoyed the story and got super excited for the drama.*
*Drama starts at a billion years: huge budget, great cast, awesome costumes and sets, over top production. I'm in my disney feels. It was worth the wait.*
*3 episodes later...*
Director: You know what, how about we throw that novel away and do something else.
Me: But you had a novel... that was the whole...huh?
Director: Alright, quiet on set, on my count, we just gonna do our own thing... action!
ME: Dishonor on your ancestors goat, forehead, dishonor!

So yeah, literally what was the point of the novel if Aof and his forehead was going to throw the whole thing away and do whatever the hell he wanted? The script was meh, and the execution more so. somewhere after episode 7 it felt like a chore trying to get through it, the secondary character felt like an after thought, hated how they ruin Ramil's story with that unnecessary nonsense, poor dude lost his crown , and the friendship between him and Khanin and for what? I did like Jay and Calvin though, but please don't get me started on how bad they did Charan, dude was so one dimensional it was painful.

My fav scene would forever be the moment Khanin was introduced as the prince and he was in that royal outfit and walking down the stairs and you could see how nervous he was, so beautiful, Nunew did such a good job. I actually also liked the finale, but it's such a shame they waited until the last minute to give us depth to any of the secondary characters. Calvin was a disposable prince, Paypai was from a political family, Charan family took an oath to serve since forever... interesting give me more of that, instead we got the evil king who had no repercussion whatsoever die knowing his bloodline still reigns, give over.

This one had such a huge potential to be a great series, unfortunately even with the big budget, great sets, costumes and cast, it still came out of Domundi, so we got what we got. I have a lot of things to say, but imma keep quiet and go sit my somehow. One thing though, some of the music that came out of this was great, so if not for anything we had that.

Anywho, looking forward to the casts' next work.

Here was my review after the first 3 episodes. I started my rating at 8 stars.

"In every age, power remains with those who win." Which means, the competition for the throne of Emmaly is about to be deadly. Three heirs, one throne. Ahhh, I'm so seated for this plot. Also, LMAO I don't trust anyone in Emmaly. Everyone is so shifty and suspicious like... that one prince in blue, the moment I saw his moustache I knew he was guilty of something. Khanin honey, imma need you to raid that closet and run back to England. Let me explain.

So, someone is trying to off Khanin and we don't know who, but after episode 3 I have narrowed it down to, well, everyone. Basically, the whole kingdom. Like, everyone on this show looks suspicious as eff,

My Reasons Why Everyone In Emmaly Is A Suspect
#1: The King: This man was playing chest by himself, and checkmate himself, that alone makes him suspicious.
#2: Green Prince: Dude entered the drama like we owed him money, angry and asking too many questions.
#3: Blue Prince: His moustache. Like, I don't know what he's guilty of, but it's not nothing. He did something, he looks super shifty.
#4: Pink Prince: Dude don't speak much, hiding something are we?
#5: Gold Prince: This man found out his son he believed was dead for 20 years is still alive, and so far all he's done is look sad for a bit and smiled all so sneering and... suspicious.

then we have the heirs:
#1: Princess Eva: Too pretty, wearing all them fancy gowns I don't have. Suspicious and guilty.
#2: Prince Ramil: This child speaks like basmati rice, slow and one at a time, but every word out of his mouth makes you wanna boo him. It's not looking good for him and his dad.
#3: Prince Khanin: Obviously he didn't attack himself but that child is Sassy. Bossy. Naughty. I feel he about to turn everything upside down, good luck Emmaly. Oh and Charan, poor dude was the first victim with the, I command you to be my guard stunt he pulled.

Others:
Charan: He said: "Power doesn't matter to me, but you do Your Highness." --> Royal guard too in love, he's a liability.
Calvin: 3 episodes in and all we got from him was a glance. Dude's hiding ,he did something.
Jay: Saw him for a second and he looked so pretty while singing... it's suspicious.
Paytai: He's close with Ramil and his father, so he must be guilty of something too.

So yeah, everyone is guilty, cuz this this drama is like a cross between Game of Thrones, Princess Diaries and Gossip Girl, you know, but make it gayer. No, but those three princes' had me rolling. These dudes gossip over tea. They had their fancy tea cups and everything out. lmao.

Anyway, so far, we 3 episodes in and I am super impressed by how grand everything feels. The scale, quality, and budget, everything feels so massive and well over my expectations. I was drooling over the wardrobe in episode 3 and Nunew Chawarin is one beautiful boy cuz he was born to play this role, he embodied being a prince with such ease and grace. And when he walked down those stairs to introduce himself? I stood up and bowed too, cuz... Your Highness!

My Impression after 3 episodes:
I am enjoying the drama so far, and impressed with the acting of the leads as well. Seeing Zee and Nunew bring their characters to life made me emotional. Overall, I am stunned with the drama in general, Everything from the outfits, locations, set designs, music to the cast is so beautifully done and detailed to perfection. The grand-ness-ness is majestic as hell.

After episode 3, it's clear the plot would focus on the fencing competition for the throne. It's a different plot from the many high school bls we mostly get, so already it's a win in my book. Not gonna lie, I have no idea what fencing is about, but from the little we saw it seems you just poke your pointy stick thingy at the other's head and then they poke back, and some dude shuts something in french, so yeah, sports and stuff. Either way, I can't wait for the competition to start.

What I'm looking forward to:
- Who is after Khanin and why.
- How Khanin and Charan goes from royal guard and prince to lovers. It's probably gonna hurt, but that's what tissues are for.
- The competition for the throne! Can't watch for the royal intrigue and backstabbing, it's gonna be amazing. I'll make popcorn and wine while watching.
- The beautiful aesthetics of the sets. I am ready to immerse myself in this royal aura.
- Fully meeting the other cast members and seeing what they bring to the table. From the trailer they are all about to give us drama, and I am seated for the ride.
- How Khanin adjusts to being a prince, living in the castle and coming to Emmaly. It's gonna be interesting seeing how he adjust to the change in status and meeting his new family after losing his current one.
- And of course who would win the throne in the end.

Also, lastly, Khanin, child, why is you saying no to being a prince? If someone told me I was a prince in this economy, I'd have been like: 'A prince prince? With my whole castle and everything prince? Dude, say less, I'm in.' No, really, they don't even have tell me the name of the country or nothing. Matter fact, just point me in the direction of where it is, and I'll walk there myself. This child was out there sobbing and wailing and angry. Understandable giving everything, but like, the title came with a hunky handsome royal guard. Nah fam, if he don't want it, I volunteer as tribute. This child playing with his blessings.

Anywho, I can't wait for the rest of the episodes, once every week is gonna be torture.

Enjoy the show royal subjects of Emmaly.
