Episode 1

Funny and humorous at times, the cinematography is great. The acting is good but unnecessarily comedic, and a lot of IU's acting felt like Manwol from Hotel de Luna. The episode felt like it was for dragging for time and more context could have been added for a pilot episode, and the ending was not intriguing enough.

Honestly is Babe trying to be the stupidest person in this series or WHAT????? If he truly is so curious about Willy then he should break up with Charlie not do shitty stuff like he just did. He is such a dumb person. Babe you just fked up!I cannot with Petes's blindness, all of them. How could anyone believe that Charlie is some random person that by such huge accident loks like identical twin of Way, MORE, how could all of them trust him so blindly with such important thing? It's beyond my understanding.Kenta and Kim are getting interesting, can't wait to see more of them.

DAMN THE GORY I LOVE IT

We start the story two years ago when sergeant jang recruits gicheol to manage his nightclubs since before he was DJ and struggling with money, and he also asked gicheol to get his friends involved to join him since they were native to gangnam. After a year, gicheol still hasn’t become the owner of the nightclub like sergeant jang had promised and sergeant jang’s minions had started mocking him, which led to gicheol asking sergeant jang if he could fund a drug trafficking operation to get some more money but sergeant jang refuses stating that he wouldn’t stoop so low and slaps gicheol with a tub since he was at a sauna. This pisses of gicheol and since gicheol and his friends had enough of being mistreated AND GICHEOL FELT BAD TO SEE HOW HIS FRIENDS WERE GETING TREATED so they planned to get revenge by hiring a knife wielder and tricking sergeant jang and his men to come for a “team outing” to a hotel on the mountains, where gicheol and his men start attacking sergeant jang’s men and they win, but AFTER sergeant jang STABS AND KILLS GICHEOL’S BEST FRIEND. Eventually gicheol goes to sergeant jang’s boss and asks him to invest in his drug trafficking plan, since gicheul frames sergeant jang that he was already planning to betray his boss anyway, to which sergeant jang’s boss, song dong hyuk, agrees as long as he got 50 million won monthly from this plan. Eventually it goes to the ears of the Korean prosecution that Korean gang members are supplying the Japanese with drugs, so now junmo, a low ranked detective has agreed to go undercover as long as he get a two rank promotion. Now he’s undercover as gicheul’s best friend’s fake cousin and he went to the restaurant gicheul owns, demanding he meets the owner. Gicheul comes, and he notices that junmo is wearing the exact watch that his best friend wore when he died (his best friend stole it off sergeant jang). DAMN HEATED EPISODEEE ITS GIVING GORY AND BLOOD AND POLICE AND PROSECUTION. A DAMN GREAT THRILLER IS COMMING I KNOW ITTT.

great cinematography. The cast looks great…

great cinematography. The cast looks great but story is not good now. The first episode definitely failed. I did not get what they want to portray. Everything is all over the place. hopefully the next episodes gets good.

SO GOOD BUT I HATE AKIRA’S TUTOR

So now kanata’s seen akira’s tutor and akira planned to tell kanata everything but his tutor, yoichi, tries to convince him not to since it’ll hurt both of them, when actually he doesn’t want anyone else to know that he groomed akira. So kanata is at school just thinking over how he saw akira with yoichi the other day, and he goes up to akira on the rooftop since Jun convinced him to invite him to makki’s villa to help them revise for finals, so kanata asks to which akira says yes and they spend time at the villa, and eventually get sidetracked into just having fun AND AKIRA AND KANATA SEEMED TO HAVE SUCH A GREAT TIME OMDS WHY CANT THE JUST FIX UP AND GET TOGETHER AND FLIPPING GET YOICHI OUT THE WAY. During the night, Kanata wakes up because he couldn’t sleep and sees Akira awake as well, and akira explains everything and how he’s has his “friends with benefits” relationship with yoichi, but akira’s trying to explain to kanata that he’s stopped it with yoichi and now their little thing is no more. After akira just walks out since he couldn’t handle it all. LIKE I WAS AT LEAST EXPECTING A HUG PERHAPS NO? oh well. BUT I HATE THE TUTOR BECAUSE YOICHI LITERALLY HAD A CRUSH ON AKIRA’S BROTHER BUT BACK THEN AKIRA’S BROTHER HAD A GIRLFRIEND AND AKIRA WAS GOING THROUGH A DILEMMA WHERE HIS CRUSH CLOCKED ON THAT AKIRA HAD A CRUSH ON HIM AND STARTED DISTANCING FROM HIM AND FINDING HIM A NUISANCE, SO AKIRA FELT INFERIOR TO HIS BROTHER, WHO HAD POPULARITY AND GRADES, WHILST ALSO GETTING CAUGHT ON BY HIS CRUSH, IT WAS TOO MUCH SO HE TOLD YOICHI WHO THEN TOOK ADVANTAGE OF HIM AND STARTED DOING ALL THAT CALLING IT A “BALANCE” SINCE BOTH AKIRA AND YOICHI WAS EXPERIENCING UNREQUITED LOVE SO THEY NEEDED A RELEASE LIKE BRO SHUTUP WITH YOUR WAFFLE, HE LITERALLY JUST TOOK ADVANTAGE OF AKIRA UGHGHGHGH.

Crowned By Chemistry But Ruled By The Tension

Perfect Crown already feels like one of those dramas people will either obsess over or complain about every week, but still never stop watching. The whole modern monarchy and chaebol marriage contract plot sounds dramatic in the best way possible and honestly, IU and Byeon Woo Seok already look too good together for this drama to fail completely.IU looks perfect as Seong Hui Ju because she has that cold but emotional vibe that makes you want to understand her more. She feels like someone who has everything except the one thing she really wants. Byeon Woo Seok as Prince I-an looks soft, lonely and kind of trapped in his own life, which is exactly the type of character he does best. Their chemistry already feels strong from the teasers alone and the tension between them looks like it will carry the whole drama.The story itself gives old-school royal romance vibes, kind of like modern royalty dramas mixed with chaebol family fights, power struggles and contract marriage chaos. It feels like the type of drama that will have pretty visuals, emotional scenes, jealous second leads and those moments where you know they are in love before they admit it.I feel like Perfect Crown could become one of the biggest romance dramas of this year if the writing stays strong. Even people who were unsure after the trailer are still curious because the cast and storyline are too interesting to ignore. It already has that “everyone will be talking about it after every episode” energy. �

OKAY WHAT.

So we start off with kanata overthinking about how close Akira’s face was at the festival BEACUSE THEY DIDNT KISS AT THE SCENE BECAUSE FIREWORKS WENT OFF IN THE BACKGROUND but after we see kanata hard at work locking in because he’s now on the football team for his school. Then he visits akira on the rooftop, and he was sleeping so kanata gets real close to his face and akira wakes up, pulls kanata close by pulling his tie, and asks if kanata was about to kiss him as “jokes”. After they start talking about if they’ve kissed anyone before to which they both say yes, since kanata wanted to spend his time on something when he wasn’t spending it in football, so in all technicality, kanata is pretty much a manslut. But then we find out that even akira’s kissed someone before, and kanata’s asking who it was but akira doesn’t say. After we get a flashback on how akira’s tutor was his brother’s friend, and how he was recalling close to him when he tutored akira before his tutor groomed him, which is honestly nasty imo, AND AKIRA AND HIS TUTOR ARE STILL GOING LIKE BRO WDYM. And after kanata and akira are on the school rooftop again, and kanata confronts akira about how close he was to his face during the festival and how akira was about to kiss him, and kanata KNEW since he wasn’t asleep, so akira’s like “pretend ur asleep now” and akira KISSES HIM. but then the bell rings, LIKE BRO, and then kanata hurriedly asks akira if he wants to go with him and mizuki and Jun to watch a late night movie but akira says no since he was going to meet his elder brother, BUT WHILST KANATA AND MIZUKI WERE WAITING FOR JUN TO COME WATCH THE MOVIE HE SEES AKIRA WITH SOMEONE ELSE (HIS TUTOR) AND MIZUKI BEFOREHAND SAID THAT AKIRA COULDN’T HAVE BEENT MEETING UP WITH HIS BROTHER SINCE HIS BROTHER WENT TO A UNIVERSITY IN KYOTO, BUT THEN SHE TRIED TO COVER IT UP BY SAYING MAYBE HIS BROTHER CAME BACK ON HOLIDAY. NO BECAUSE IM PISSED AT AKIRA BECAUSE WHY WOULD U KISS KANATA AND THEN GO OFF AND DO THAT STUFF WITH YOUR TUTOR LIKE BRO.

I LOVED THIS EPISODE

im going to do this review/recap in bullet points because why not:- IT STARTS WITH AKIRA AND HIS FORMER TUTOR and they have like a little thing going on I think, but it’s not specified but I think it’s something like friends with benefits, but after akira’s former tutor hears about how akira’s starting to crush on kanata, his former tutor breaks their little thing off. Akira said no but I think they stopped their little thing now, and I think deep down akira would’ve wanted to break it off too.- now that Kanata’s joining the football team, mizuki, jun and makki plan to go watch him play at the game, and mizuki invites akira to go watch him as well, to which akira says yes. - akira was walking around the school, only to see jun and mizuki hiding behind the corner, and akira asks mizuki what’s happening, only to see a girl confessing to kanata, and kanata says no. This is the scene where jun is introduced to akira, since Jun didn’t know kanata had such a smart friend.- Akira and kanata are at the rooftop and akira asks kanata why he doesn’t date anyone, and kanata replies that he wants to date somebody that he could relax with. And during this scene kanata asks akira if they wanna hang out outside of school, but then akira reminds him that he needs to revise for finals since he won’t be able to juggle it all now since he’ll join the soccer club as well. So after they meet up, akira is tutoring him, and kanata looks up at akira whilst he’s explaining it and KANATA IS JUST STARING AT AKIRA AND LIKE ANALYISNG HIS BEAUTIFUL FACE CARD BECAUSE WHO WOULDNT AND IT WAS SO CUTE BECAUSE AKIRA DIDNT NOTICE. after akira tutoring kanata, they sit down and have a break, and kanata sees a poster for a community festival for that same day, so kanata persuades akira to go AND THEY HAVE THE TIME OF THEIR LIVES, AND KANATA FEEDS AKIRA EKEKEKKE AND AFTER AKIRA BUYS THEM MATCHING BRACELETS AND ITS SO CUTE. After kanata is resting on akira’s thigh (idk how to explain it like kanata’s head was lying in akira’s thigh) and kanata was sleeping i think, and akira starts brushing kanata’s hair with hand ONLY TO GO DOWN AND AKIRA WAS ABOUT TO KISS HIM BUT THE EPISODE ENDEDDDD UGHGHH.- At home kanata and his younger brother are eating and his brother tells him he found out about him joining the football club, and his brother says that now he could finally talk to his brother about football again, probably because it was awkward to talk about it to him since he experienced his injury before LIKE POOR YUITO (kanata’s brother’s name).

Joseon in the 21st century

I enjoyed watching this episode. The story is building on a promising premise. The characters were introduced properly setting the tone for their roles in the upcoming episodes. I enjoyed the acting of Gong Seung Yeon, the King's mother, her eyes were so captivating. As the drama is based on a fictional world, an overlap between Joseon and Korea, the setting reflects this. They tried to blend the surroundings with this theme, however, it fell short in my eyes. The tea sets in particular, could have been more closer to ancient sets, as drinking tea is an old tradition, however in the drama they used British like tea cups.

feel really sad for Chu San, cause his heart…

feel really sad for Chu San, cause his heart broken when he realized Liu Yi was avoiding him & wasn't really busy. but i am happy that Liu Yi felt that kiss & now is consumed with thoughts about the why of it all... better than him just regarding Chu San as a brother or a buddy. he never saw him as anything but a close platonic friend & given how he reacts to women - i wonder if he is A-sexual (or developed an A-sexual attitude given everything he went through as a child). we know he loves Chu San very much, so the kiss will make him reevaluate his feelings, might even awaken dormant feelings. either way in-spite of the pain of one & the confusion of the other this was a great ep - they got closer cause of Chu San's father's sickness, the kiss will push them further & closer - i hope.

I dont understand why the ML is now seemingly…

I dont understand why the ML is now seemingly also competing for FL s favour in this marriage proposal game. I mean i understand, but as of now isnt he just a servant. And how could he be like a substitute shield for her cousin. In that Tea Party it made sense, but acting lovey dovey in the garden… like what is he then in this moment? A substitute? But you cant like act romantic as a place holder, nobody think she is in love now with Cousin Wen. So that kinda dosent make sense or i just dont understand.But so far i continue to stick with this drama, is weirdly still entertaining.
