Everything is based on the 12 episode series

Perfect Crown is a show to cater to general audiences with Disney's specialty
now we all know that the art that Disney makes to create happily ever after kind a lost its magic in the past couple of years

Enter Perfect Crown, Episode 1 (in the exact 19:45) Perfect Crown brought its magic back to Disney
Grand Prince I-AN introduction is where the magic happens entering the main hall. this scene alone brought me back to what Disney is capable of doing, last time i felt this emotion was wayback the live action Cinderella transitioning and slipping the glass slippers.

Story is typical Disney with K touch
but what brought the magic the magic to the series are the following scenes
Episode 1 (in the exact 19:45) - Grand Prince Entrance
Episode 2 (in the exact 40:41) - Grand Prince help his nephew (the child king) and stood across the stage signifying the crown
Episode 3 (in the exact 01:04) - Grand Prince and Seong Hijui entered the palace after agreeing on the contract and their biggest challenge is the whole nation because of status (this scene establishes the King and Queen entering the palace)
Episode 6 (in the exact 4:50) - Grand Prince and Seong Hijui entered the stage for the grand dance and proposal
the visual on IU is just perfect for the scene,
Episode 7 (in the exact 1:4:30) - the Grand parade, this reminds me of the celebration of the star wars episode 1 , a high energy scene can put a smile to anyone
Episode 7 (in the exact 1:7:50) - The king and queen enters the palace,
This is the scene of the entire series - It shows the power of the crown, it shows the world that South Korea is still in the top of the game in culture, This signifies to the world South Korea is a power house both traditions and modern world.
The FLASHES honors the history, the King and Queen entering the Council Hall with the FLASHES as the background
The OST brings emotional Magic to the scene, The haze smoke brings nostalgia to Joseon era, the Costume Design, this scene alone is the center of the series when it comes to cinematography, If there is a rating on production i will give the perfect crown the perfect 10.
Episode 10 (in the exact 1:2:05) - Min is entering as the villain of the happy story
kind reminded me of Scar entering the scene for the first time in Lion King

Everyone has their own magic scenes because we can't deny the I-AN, Hijui, Min, Iran, has strong chemistry, specially Iran (the Queen Dowager) she has one of the best portrayal of any supporting female lead, i'm not going to be surprise if she wins the blue dragon award, that how powerful her cast is. another character is Han Dayeong the wife of taeju, her cast is a breath of fresh air and works well with the sript and story.

For OST
just start it with My Pace and end it with Free
what can you ask more, I already bought the 10 OST tracks to support the composer and artists

Everyone has their own magical episode, such the ending of episode where they kiss over the palace wall, but for me
these are the magic scenes that was for me as a cinematographer

I gave it 8.5 because all of these magic scenes, the series still have challenges
the aides were gone (i don't know what happened)
they did not make use of the other maiden that was supposed to be set up to I-AN
Seong Hijui as a CEO was not given a background how powerful her position is as CEO of Castle Beauty
When there is a Council Meeting, the topic is always about I-AN not about the crown or people

so there are some but the bottom line

the Crown gave Disney a little bit of Magic
