Under the Mom's umbrella!
At first i dropped it after watching the beginning episode but GLAD i had started watching again bcz what a masterpiece i was gonna miss!!The Queen's character is the best Mom character I've ever watched in any kdrama...The ending Credits where grand Prince seongnam hold the umbrella for his mother,the queen..summarizes the drama in all aspects...all the Prince characters were well written and the character developments were EPIC ... very little fight scenes unlike other historical dramas, & comedy elements and light scenes are well proportionated besides serious emotional scenes.
Really had a wonderful watch throughout 16 episodes in emotional rollercoaster! Gonna miss my fav characters Yi Kang aka gp seongnam and yoon cheong Ha...! Goodbye Under the queen's umbrella!

Not SOOO Disappointing,Not SOO BAD.
First of all,i'm just seeing Very low rated reviews so i thought i should say something about this drama in a review.I'm actually rating it more than average but i know exactly why everyone is so disappointed at this show,i realized you have to shut off your brain and be in a particular state of mind to like this Drama! I also started watching it while ongoing and dropped after ep 7/8 and skipped many scenes later and just focused on Ryu Shi Oh (byeon woo seok was always my favourite) and finished it...That time i was actually very busy with my life and couldn’t afford to relate with the silly comedy scenes.But what happened later was,in 2024 i mean in this year i was jobless and in a very Depressive state in early months so i thought i would just shut off my brain and watch something not-so-serious and started Re-watching Strong girl nam soon..& very surprisingly i quite loved it,the story was tight,but how It's shown has It's questions, they wanted to keep the show ''lighter'' but ended up being silly..but indulged in depression these silly comedies helped me to feel good actually ..The grandmother's love part was the only thing i couldn’t bear myself to watch but the rest of the cast actually did very very well..Ryu shi Oh's character, how It's written, how It's portrayed is SO good and sooo intriguing..(I miss this kind of well written villains' character in kdramas all the time).. Also, the ML & FL did well (FL has certain type of characteristics that people here on MDL really find annoying but that's actually how her character was written,naive,talkative,giving cutesy vibes)& she did good portraying that..the side plots were many and interesting too... ML's team members and related comedies were good.
I later searched on naver to see if it was popular in korea and not to my surprise, it was!! The ratings were good and it was well received by korean audiences.If you want to start this drama,start it,it is NOT THAT TERRIBLE, you might start loving it like me or end up falling hard just for the villain,just like everybody else.Happy Watching!

Best melo of 2019
It's a story about terminally ill patients,with heart-warming love story of the protagonists.I see some are dropping this as they can't take the sufferings of those people in the hospice...so if RomCom is your type,don't watch this drama.you are not gonna find your typical cheesy stuffs here."Chocolate" is a drama with which we all can relate bcz we all are part of this planet.We all have unrequitted love,we all have happiness and suffering relating to the ones who left us,And Yeah,do watch it if you're a doctor.Life is not a bed roses,it never was.....Was this review helpful to you?
