Very philosophical take on a story
First impressions: The transitions are fire. Also, I feel like there's going to be a lot of 4th wall breaking. Comedy is strong. The sound design is genius ngl. Seems very promising.
TLDR; This show is extremely funny, whether it's from the comedic timing to the meta four-wall breaking. It's the result of if the characters from a fictional setting suddenly had awareness and started become sentient, which sounds scifi, but I promise it's not. Even though they basically tell you what happens in the story, it's not boring to watch the character interactions and story leading up to the main events. Acting is amazing, even with the side characters. Music is quite unique and fun to listen to. Rewatch value is a one-and-done for me.
Story: They really pulled all the stops of the historical romance tropes lool. What makes it funny is the way the track stops right when it swells to its climax, and the fl's dripping sarcasm of the fl, and the melodramatics of the 18th prince (yes, you read that right). The mood can change so fast and not clash with each other it's kinda insane. There's also character development. I will say, it seems really abrupt though, esp when it comes to the emperor. I also feel like there are some plot loopholes like the rule that the ml can’t physically harm fl even though it’s stated in the script that he kills her in the end.
Acting/Cast: I love the cadence of the 18th prince's acting it's so over-the-top. His laugh and mannerisms are so comical I can't.
Music: The music is so unserious and probably has the most variety of genres. There's like rap w/ traditional instruments in the same song and then also covers of classical pieces but w/ traditional instruments. Not to mention opera as well.
Rewatch value: It’s not particularly special enough for a rewatch imo, but I could rewatch for the comedy.
