Entertaining but Lacked Depth
Maybe I've been too spoiled by the quality of IU's other dramas/movies in recent years, but I was disappointed by this one.What I enjoyed: The casting was great, good acting, and I liked many of the side characters. My favourite character was the Queen Mother because she was the most complex which made me root for her the most. The instrumental music was quite good.
What I didn't enjoy: Most of the characters were cute at best. I found the female lead character to be incredibly entitled and unlikable. Partway through I actually wished she would become a true bad guy to give her more depth. I also felt the main love line was very shallow. I found a lot of the key plot points were half-baked without a compelling rationale for the characters' decisions. The title/opening song also annoyed me but that wasn't a huge deal.
Overall, it wasn't terrible and I at least finished it. 12 episodes is pretty short but for this drama, it was just the right length since the plot was so simple.
