unfortunately a BIG miss for me...
So, I had been waiting to find this drama subbed forever... finally on Youtube with the wrong still images titled "Royal Romantic"... warning though the subtitles are not good... not horrendous, but definitely bad. Luckily, I've seen so many of these I know pretty much what was being said despite the subs.The story could have been an interesting one... but it really wasn't. Not the politics, not the romance and not the culture or anything else. The MAIN saving grace of the drama was the MALE LEAD... he was amazing and you could feel all his emotions, his likes and hates... his love... I teared up a few times when he cried!!
Unfortunately, the storyline he was given was crap. No depth of plot and no depth of a female lead.
PLOT: The politics all tied back around to "why he couldn't be with the Han girl"... so it wasn't interesting, it wasn't intriguing, really a waste. Completely and utterly.
The romance... sigh... like I said... could have been GREAT because the ML was willing to risk it ALL for this girl ALL the time, but instead... it drove the plot around and around in circles :(
The Female Lead.... ack. She smiled very slightly and was very pretty... and a good singer. And that's all. Oh she had a few tears streaming down her cheek often.. but YIKES. Talk about wooden and no depth of character. He loved her because she was beautiful and a good singer and.... kind? That's it... past that she suffered from being "TOO". Too everything!! Too nice. Too kind-hearted. Too trusting. Too forgiving. Too understanding. Too... everything and it made her paper-thin as a character. ZERO character development, zero emotion... lots of getting bullied and getting saved (or not) and just saying it was all okay as long as the male lead "didn't suffer" BLECK!!!
and that's the plot... can't be together... no one in harem wants them together (plus all the concubines are uber evil)... all the palace peeps trying to keep her out of the harem... her sacrificing...and round and round we go... and then the ending was NOT worth the 59 episodes of that... be warned #tragedy
BUT... I adored the Male Lead???
