It is such a shame that with this amazing cast and as a sequel to Kill Boksoon, this was so poorly executed. Just all over the place with genre, every plot and character underdeveloped.
Watching it for ML and SML and side characters because the FL is the absolute worst, her face and body expressions are meant to be what exactly - autistic, mentally deformed? Then the SFL is a stalker who forces herself on "hubby" and acts deranged. Whoever wrote the women for this drama seems to hate women and see them as very stereotypical (all the catty office ladies) and one sided.
Song Zu Er is so beautiful, she stole every scene with her range of expressions. The story is great until the last few episodes when it goes on super speed, the pacing there was off. If it wasn't a historical drama, I would be so upset at how often she has to manage his emotions and his toxicity (and I was still upset at how oftne she had to carry the relationship and teach him things). Side characters other than Liang and Tao were pretty underdeveloped and could have used more screen time. Villains were just laughably messy with little development or motivations that make sense. Overall the FL really elevates this otherwise I would have probably dropped it.
Good for him but I think it's Yoona who carried the drama and many side actors who carried this drama over him. He is a decent actor and has looks but he got lucky here. I hate how they always highlight the ML as they did in Lovely Runner as well (but there I feel like both leads Kim Hye Yoon and Byeon Woo Seok were really good just she didn't get as much attention).
Love how beautiful Sabrina Chen looks in both looks as princess and as Xi (the costuming and styling and makeup are elite) and also this ML is absolutely gorgeous, hope he gets more ML roles. A very angtsy short drama but I'm loving it.
The drama is actually watchable but very predictable. The main glaring issues is that so many transmigration into games story and this one doesn't do anything new, then the FL seem to barely have much of a role, then the side actor (Liu Siufeng) are more charming and attractive then ML. Then, the blonde version of {spoiler} is hilariously funny and miscast/miscostumed. Guardians of Dafeng was a similar one but the ML and his family were so much more funny and charming. Here a little too generic. I am watching it because this year was particularly bad for dramas.
Excited for all the cast except the snake cheating b&stard, hope he is not invited and never have to see or hear him again while Hyeri's career skyrockets.
