First Impression: I'm the Most Beautiful Count
Overall: Interested to see how well they balance humor with more serious topics. This is based on a webtoon that I haven't read and I am reviewing the series on its own merits. 13 episodes about 50 minutes each. Airing on iQIYI https://www.iq.com/play/i-m-the-most-beautiful-count-episode-1-1hwby7xm14c?lang=en_us and YouTube (not in North, Central or South America, the Caribbean, U.K, Japan, Korea, Southeast Asia or Australia) https://youtu.be/JW3Sni7GJK0?si=Rn-vf6SAfAvJ1lRe
Content Warnings: (several, I'm keeping this spoiler free for now)
What I Liked
- a lead who wears stilettos, has long nails and is sassy
- historical setting
- chuckled a few times
Room For Improvement
- comedy sound effects didn't make things funny
- love triangle set up
- (neutral) trans female/effeminate male stereotypes are exaggerated expressiveness and boy crazy, wish they could have slightly modified one or both of these to break out of stereotypes
