Crazy about Asian dramas

Disappointment

The drama starts off strong, with a prince unjustly separated from his mother due to false accusations. Only the princess, who believes in his honesty, loyalty, kindness, and trustworthiness, stands by him. Everyone, including the princess, believes he has perished. From a young age, she diligently cultivates magic in hopes of bringing him back. Meanwhile, the prince tirelessly cultivates himself to reclaim what he has lost. Their journey is fraught with hardships and trials.

While I enjoyed the subplot involving the other prince's love story and their chemistry, the main storyline falls short in the end. The conclusion leaves me unsatisfied, unsure if the prince truly returns or if it's merely the princess's illusion. I wish the drama had a more definitive and fulfilling ending.

Boring

The drama explores the intricacies of relationships, focusing on how individuals set priorities and manage their personal and professional lives. It emphasizes the importance of balance, mutual understanding, and communication in a relationship, whether it's a new one, a just-married couple, or a long-term marriage.

It highlights the struggles faced by each stage of a relationship, demonstrating that breakup isn't the only solution; rather, it's about overcoming challenges together.

The portrayal of the female lead's mother was particularly impressive; she truly captured the essence of her role.

Additionally, the drama shed light on the challenges faced by those working in weather forecasting, something I hadn't considered before.

However, the chemistry between the main leads was lacking, which was a flaw in an otherwise engaging drama.

Indeed ,Blossom in adversity

The drama began by introducing two main characters: a female lead who lived with her family and the heir to the kingdom. The heir had promised the king that he would never seek the throne, allowing his cousins to inherit it instead.

However, following the king's orders, the heir exiled all the male members of the female lead's family, including children older than 10 years.

Although the king was selfish, the heir always obeyed him, even though he sometimes questioned the king's decisions.

As the story progressed, the female lead and the heir fell in love. Despite initially being unaware of his true identity, she eventually learned the truth. However, she continued to stand by him because she believed in his righteousness and trusted that he wouldn't harm her family.

While the drama had its moments of dullness and boredom, the chemistry between the lead characters remained strong throughout.

Rookie crops , indeed

The drama touched on several important themes. Firstly, it emphasized the importance of not enduring harsh punishments for minor mistakes; it encouraged speaking out against unjust treatment. Secondly, it highlighted the value of trust in friendship. Thirdly, it underscored the significance of fighting for the truth, even if it puts loved ones in danger due to their involvement in past wrongdoing. Fourthly, it advised against making hasty decisions, especially when the original purpose for a chosen path has faded. Instead, it suggested taking time to reevaluate before deciding whether to continue or change course.

I particularly enjoyed the development of the rookie cops' characters. One storyline that saddened me was the character who died before he could confess his love.

Although the drama occasionally became repetitive due to its case-solving format, each case ultimately interconnected with a past unresolved case, implicating the family members of two rookie cops. As the cases were solved, numerous revelations unfolded.

The chemistry between the lead characters was compelling, and I appreciated the inclusion of parallel love stories.

Can be better

While the storyline of the drama was promising, it lacked significant improvisation. By the 10th to 12th episodes, many parts of the plot became predictable, leaving much to the viewer's imagination. Additionally, pivotal scenes, such as the confrontation between the prince and the general, were merely hinted at, forcing viewers to speculate about the details. Despite portraying the crown prince as helpless and deeply in love with his wife, his actions contradicted his supposed affection, raising questions about his true intentions. Furthermore, inconsistencies arose regarding the prince's pursuit of his wife after she escaped and changed her appearance. Ultimately, while the storyline held potential, the lack of exposition on key elements left much to be desired.

Obsession

I don't understand why the drama was made. What was the purpose of creating such a storyline? It revolves around three boys, with the beginning showing one fleeing from a place where he grew up due to rumors about his master's sexual preferences. The master, another boy, becomes obsessed with him and refuses to let him go. Seeking refuge, the boy disguises himself as a woman and begins living with the third boy as his wife. However, as time passes, secrets unravel. The ending was unsatisfactory; it should have been as impactful as "The Untamed" drama's conclusion.
Only like acting of all three boys .

Different Reaction

If I analyze this situation logically, in real life, it would be unforgivable for someone in the main lead's position to fall in love with his sister-in-law. While there may not be anything inherently wrong with developing feelings, he should exercise self-control and avoid any inappropriate actions. However, when he takes advantage of a vulnerable moment by asking her to sleep with him, promising to forget everything the next day and start anew, it becomes difficult to sympathize with such a character. On the other hand, if I disregard logic and immerse myself in the story, this character garners significant sympathy throughout, appearing almost flawless in every aspect.

Ending is unclear

The leads were my favorite, which is why I decided to watch the drama. However, since I watched it in 2024, I found it a bit dull. Nonetheless, the story was intriguing. It revolved around a girl who wholeheartedly trusted a boy, and he reciprocated that trust. She considered him her everything, but he also prioritized his friends and interests, causing a rift in their relationship and leading to their breakup. However, the storyline became unclear afterward. It depicted a scene where after two years since their break up he called her to meet , but their meeting scene was brief, with no dialogue exchanged. Instead, it shifted to past scenes, leaving the ending ambiguous. Consequently, I felt like I wasted my time.

Concept unclear

She ventured to New Joseon to safeguard him and unravel the mystery surrounding her husband's death. Upon fulfilling her purpose, she returned to Old Joseon, but her maid didn't go back ? Why , this is unclear matter. However, upon her return, she discovered she was unmarried and embarked on a mission to save her husband, ultimately succeeding. Yet, tragedy struck as he met his demise shortly after, leaving her efforts in vain. Disheartened, she returned to New Joseon and at last she came back to her love. However, the rationale behind her journey to the future and back to her present solely to uncover her husband's death secret seems questionable. Surely, she could have investigated the matter in her own time with the aid of the mystical lady. While I appreciated the storyline and commendable performances from the cast, the underlying concept of the story left much to be desired.
