"Miss the Dragon: Stunning Looks, Messy Plot β My Honest Takeβ
I first watched Miss the Dragon around the time it aired, which was also when my C-drama obsession began π
πΊ. Back then, I rated it 9.5/10, but looking back nowβ¦ lmao, my memory of it being βgoodβ feels a bit hilarious π. Even though it holds nostalgia as one of the first dramas I ever watched, revisiting it shows just how messy it really is.
π What Went Wrong
Illogical Plot & Confusing Storytelling π€―
The plot is all over the place. The female lead (FL) starts as a servant, but her clothes, room, and lifestyle are ridiculously luxurious π°π β no explanation is given, which makes zero sense. The storyline is full of cliches and poorly thought-out twists, making it hard to follow whoβs supposed to be the villain or why anything is happening π΅.
Underdeveloped Characters π
The main couple lacks chemistry π, making it difficult to care about their romance. Even the second lead couple, who are somewhat more interesting π±, donβt get enough development to feel fully engaging. Many interactions feel forced, and motivations are inconsistent π€·ββοΈ.
Acting & Dialogue Issues π
The lead actors donβt quite bring their characters to life π¬. Dialogue often feels stiff, and emotional scenes fail to land. The supposed tension or romance between the main couple just doesnβt hit π.
Overused Fantasy Tropes π
Reincarnation, constant misunderstandings, and repeated βdrama triggersβ make the story feel stretched and predictable β³. Thereβs no fresh take on these tropes, and it often drags rather than excites.
π A Few Bright Spots
Visual Appeal & Costumes πβ¨
The drama looks beautiful β the sets, costumes, and cinematography are visually pleasing πΈ. Even if the story fails, your eyes are still entertained π.
Supporting Characters Show Promise π±
Some side characters are more engaging than the leads. With better writing, they could have made the story more enjoyable, but unfortunately, their potential isnβt fully realized π.
π Final Verdict
Miss the Dragon is a classic style over substance drama π¨π. Itβs enjoyable for nostalgia, visuals, or a light fantasy watch ππ , but the plot, characters, and acting leave much to be desired. Perfect if you want a guilty-pleasure watch without expecting much logic or depth π.
