Perfect Crown is build like a Wattpad story, and I'm going to need everyone to hear me out when I say this. It's like the director/screenwriter had very specific scenes that they wanted to show in their head, but they didn't have a proper framework for a drama, so it feels like they just pieced the plot together around those specific scenes. Very reminiscent to how most Wattpad stories are written, and unfortunately... I ate it up.

Yes there are a lot of plot holes and unanswered questions, but the plot was interesting enough for me to continue. I was watching this drama during peak finals season and desperately needed something that could shut my brain off and was entertaining. And that is exactly what this drama did for me, because you best believe I was waiting for the weekend to come rolling just so I could watch this drama.

The idea of South Korea still living under a monarchy was extremely captivating for me, the aesthetics are absolutely gorgeous especially the outfits the Byun Wooseok wore throughout the entire show. And I've always been a fan of mixing traditional and modern elements visually. And the OSTs are some of the best I've ever heard in a while, thank you to the person that gave us the master piece that "Already Free" is. And lets not forget that Byun Wooseok and IU are the main leads in this drama, they both just look so pretty and I loved their chemistry.

Like I said not everyone is going to have the same feelings as me about this drama, and there definitely are a lot of flaws. But this drama kept me entertained so give it a try if you're interested.
