haha this is my first miniserie -- Honestly, what keeps me here isnāt the erotic stuff, but youāll laughāwhat really grabs me is the plot. Itās refreshing and even deserves a full series. I like the overall idea; itās much better than the latest releases that are about nothing... and great chemistry yes
Both lead actors are well presented here opposite an experienced actress, and this either opens or confirms their path toward future leading roles. SML ā I would really like to see him in a main role; he has all the potential. (Not some crappy thing like Crusology.) ML alredy done
This is not a historical interpretation: there are numerous inaccuracies, particularly due to the complete āmodernizationā of the work, including the use of linguistic terms that simply did not exist at the time. That said, what I find truly successful here are the characters ā all four of them are compelling in their own way.
The prince is genuinely charming: a man far more mature than one might have initially imagined. For most of his life, he was occupied with doing nothing and disturbing no one, and one might assume he would now devote himself to the very same āoccupationā for this girl as well. Yet he chooses otherwise ā and one can only say yes to that choice.
The heroine is strong, determined, and remarkably altruistic (and it is precisely this that the prince seems to love, even more so than her beauty ā especially since the second girl is objectively far more beautiful).
The second young man is also a fascinating character: very charismatic, not a stereotypical villain, but a far subtler figure. I can clearly sense the tragic outline of his destiny; if the story moves toward redemption, he will likely sacrifice his life ā I feel it coming.
However, I do not see a romantic storyline between him SML and the second girl. Do you? The second girl remains a candid, naive, and kind child at heart, though also rather docile
One thing about him, he knows how to pick a good script šš¾šš¾
agreee !!!!!! I actually think that talent is also about this. As an artist, reading a script and understanding it, grasping the universe, deciding whether to accept it or not, seeing what it can bring to the project or notāthat also requires talent. Thatās why actors like him can be trusted, because his projects are surely interesting. Like in Korea, for example, Park Bo Gum represents this in the younger generation....etc
Ahh, dramasā¦ we all know how this will end:Her father will suddenly come back,realize she was married by mistake,then…
"Iām looking for possible niches for the plot..... The only possibility is that she isnāt the real daughter of this woman but was adopted for political or other reasonsā¦ or else, on the boyās side, renunciation of his status
this is a mess. clearly their romantic entanglements with others are getting out of hand where at some point after…
Ahh, dramasā¦ we all know how this will end: Her father will suddenly come back, realize she was married by mistake, then reveal that sheās actually not poor at all but from a noble family ā a secret, hidden daughter, of course. Then theyāll cancel the marriage over some serious fault, followed by a dramatic accusation, a condemnation
21. Praise the heavens šššš For the first time, itās the girl playing the piano to impress the guy ā not the other way around. I was already expecting him, as usual, to strut around like a peacock in front of yet another dazzled girl. Thank you, thank you
No words, in lovee with this drama ā a "feel-good" drama in the style the Chinese do, but FOR ONCE , in this genre, itās exceptionally well done! Nothing to add or complain about
itās really unfair. The rare times when the SML is so well-developed, and ml Too . and their story ( with SML) is genuinely complete togetherāwhich really deserved its own rom-com without a love triangle (oh, how I hate those triangles)āand the chemistry is excellent, itās really destabilizing to have both at the same time, as if you were watching two excellent love stories in parallel.
yeah overly melancholy of Ho-Jin, and his overthinking behavior really annoyed me.But like you said, first part…
Thank you for your very precise analysis as well, you are completely right. I enjoy nuanced readingsā¦ I noted exactly the same sentence from this writer Kim myself.

I think the series explores deeper themes. She has a direct character, while he is indecisive and calculates all the possible consequences (also because of his own traumas and personality). Above all, it shows that even though he understands seven languages, he doesnāt understand (at least until episode 8) the language of this girl ā what she is really trying to say. Meanwhile, the interaction with the Japanese character is shown, where, without understanding the language, they ultimately understand each other much better emotionally. That is actually the meaning of the series, and I love this idea.

I know heāll probably end up with the other one, but it completely kills the charm.
