From Checkmate to Bounced Check
If Kill Me, Love Me was an awkward misstep that made you laugh for the wrong reasons, this one at least finds its groove. The writing’s tighter, more consistent, and it actually flows from start to finish. Sure, it still has those classic filler episodes—because, let’s be real, no C-drama escapes that curse—but it doesn’t tank the experience. When things slowed down, I’d just watch one episode a day; when it kicked into high gear and the plot hit like a domino effect, I easily binged three or more in one sitting. Totally normal.
The villains? Hands down the most compelling part. Their grudges and ambitions didn’t just pop out of thin air—they’re rooted in their past, their upbringing, the messed-up lives they’ve led. But here’s the thing: with a title like this, you expect the princess to be a sharp, ruthless player all the way through. Instead, by the final stretch, she’s making clueless, naïve, downright dumb choices. And that’s when the frustration really sets in, like she forgot the rules of her own game.
