The story was very strong in the 1st half and was a classic rom-com well done but I felt the last 2-4 eps were a bit rushed. I have no complaints on the romance and chemistry with Byeon Wooseok and IU as well as their characters themselves. IU was no damsel in distress and fights back as the FL which is refreshing and Ian shows his vulnerability and is not just the hero who is invincible and saves the day always. The PM being a villain and his reason was really disappointing seeing how he was such an upright person at the start. He became such a loser and bitter person when he was actually cool in the beginning like he really fell off. The queen mother though was a pleasant surprise because I really felt for her as a woman who had to give up a lot of things just to please her family. Her comeback arc was something I was totally not mad about as Ian's nephew would really be heartbroken if he lost his mother too. Yi An and his nephew's relationship was really cute so I'm glad it didn't get ruined by the end because of this. One thing, I would have liked to see though is Ian and Huiju having a kid of their own or getting married again properly but I'm just glad it's a ending where Byeon Wooseok's character doesn't die and IU's is finally happy lol (iykyk) 😜

After watching this, I have realized too what Perfect Crown means. Yi An embodies this title as he is the only royal who thinks about the people of the nation and gave them the right to vote and make the choice for their country which is to abolish the monarchy. He knows firsthand that having a constitutional monarchy is a problem with how it is being abused by nobles who think they are above the law. Loosely based on history instead of Korea having monarchy be abolished due to Japan, Yi An is the one who gave the power back to the people by basically making the country have a parliamentary democracy (no president shown so I guess they only replaced the prime minister instead of having a president).

Overall, a 9.5 for the acting, chemistry, locations and OST were all so good 💯
