And the drama of the summer is served?
It's been a bit slow in k-drama land (at least for me) Since a handful: Our Seoul, Tastefully Yours, Etc. I switched over to more lively C-Dramas and haven't found myself wanting to watch any kdramas. Why? The synopsis haven't caught me or seemed interesting enough to put my time in. I watch dramas to relax, and didn't want anything too emotionally deep at the moment, wanted and still am going to watch a Winning Try.. but also am in the mood for something centered on romance.
Bon Appetit, Your Majesty serves directly what I want right now. A romantic-comedy, fresh visuals, and a fun synopsis. A modern girl being put into the Joseon Dyanasy with a twist - she's got to serve up dished for the tyrant king - and THAT is fun to watch.
This drama has a good production behind it, and I really liked how they showed her transition to the Joseon Dynasty. It showed me right away this drama is unafraid of its concept and is ready to dive all into the oddities of a modern-day woman being put into this older-era world. It is bizzare, and Yoona plays it up percectly. She is an all-rounder. She has charm to her, and an abundance of talent that I know this role will serve her well.
Later down the line I see this drama has a lot to work with. The leads Lee Chae-Min and Yoona I was skeptical of the chemistry as Chae-min is sort of a rookie to me, but he takes this role and delivers what he needs to. For a first few episodes, the tyrant king is the tyrant king. He has this look to his eyes that is intense, and his delivery is sharp and demaning even besides his youthful visuals. Together the two look amazing, and you'll get that with two good looking people. They've had scenes where I see sparks already, and am excited to see them fall for eachtother based off the premise and where they both ocme from.
Speaking of which.. I wonder if this will turn melodramatic? Just a thought...
For what we have now. This drama is worth watching weekly, worth watching in general. Almost would say it's a can't miss of the summer. A historical period drama with fun and charm, not too stressful on the politics, and a good entertaining watch with stunning visuals and scores to back it up. The writing is quick-paced, but in a way that it's not just characters talking and talking and talking. Everything says is put towards the story, and to develop characters as fun, menacing, etc. I'm happy with this drama so far and am also so happy that a high-budget drama is actually good if that makes sense? Like it isn't just flashy with the visuals or using its leads to rope in viewers by the neck. If anything watch to learn recipes, there's really something for anyone here.
