This drama falling into formulaic patterns
The Princess Royal" (2024) c-drama seems to delve into themes of royal intrigue, power struggles, and personal relationships, typical of many historical Chinese dramas. The premise of a royal princess facing challenges in both politics and personal life could be intriguing, especially if it explores the tension between duty and desire, a common but compelling dynamic.
I’m on episode 23 and I’m thinking, 'Oh wow, I still have so much left to watch...' Yet, I’m speeding through all the storylines :) At first, it was pretty good, interesting even, but after 20 ep till the end it’s getting long, there’s not much left to say. Why so many episodes in these series? The ML is trying to create chemistry. Good acting... As for the FL, she’s sometimes annoying, even though I try to understand her coldness because of her character and as a princess. However, her performance feels stiff. And this indecision and the endless love triangles are ruining everything. I can’t take it anymore with these series..
The SML has a bland face, lacking charisma, which adds nothing to this drama (his performance is the same as usual for an SML in dramas; without overshadowing the ML). Without him, the couple's relationships would have been more interesting, I think, . I find the plot it childish overall. The positive point is the ML, the general idea, and a few episodes from the beginning. And the idea of a second chance in a relationship and the wrong intentions we can have due to the lack of communication
