A Solid Joseon Drama
This was a gem of a drama in a season of (in my opinion) some duds this spring. “The Secret Romantic Guesthouse” wins up to its hype. This cast was absolutely stellar. It was one of the best overall cast ensembles I’ve seen in any drama. You fell in love with all of them. I was almost more committed to the second romance pairing than the first! That’s how invested you get in their stories.
A plot filled with intrigue, lots of mystery, romance, and the importance of loyalty and hope—this drama delivers excellence in its writing and acting. Not to mention, Dan Oh may be one of my favorite female leads ever. Seriously. She’s brilliantly written and acted, and her sweet moments with the ML were to die for.
Here’s two cons for only really nit picky reasons.
One, the chemistry between the leads felt off at the beginning, like the actors couldn’t get off the launching pad. However, this was not the case forever. We ended up getting some AMAZING moments and sweet kiss scenes. My only other nitpick was, in all the intrigue and subplots, sometimes it nearly felt dragging (but not bad at all). Again, that’s if I’m being super picky because this was a wonderful watch.
