LIGHT COMEDY IN A SAEGUK DRAMA

I watched this drama because of Kim Hye Yoon and not only that, I continued watching because this is the first time I’ve seen Ok Taec Yeon in a Hanbok and it looks so good on him! THE VISUALS! OMG!

STORY (8/10): As a fan of historical dramas, this is the first time I’ve watched a light comedy theme set up in a Saeguk drama. This may not be everybody’s cup of tea but I think it is refreshing and is fun to watch. The drama focuses also on resolving different problems as inspector on each episodes. Ok Taek Yeon, the now secret royal inspector is joined by Kim Hye Yoon together with the other supporting characters.

I just wished that the build-up of romance between the ML and FL was focused on to increase the chemistry between them. Due to lack of these, whenever they are onscreen and does the romantic scenes, it comes off awkward, at least, for me.

ACTING/CAST (10/10): I think Ok Taec Yeon and Kim Hye Yoon did a great job on the characters. They are known to be good actors based on their previous work. Comparing with Let’s Fight Ghost, again, Ok Taek Yeon is joined by 2 friends/sidekicks. I hope they stop doing this T_T

As I’ve said, I wished the love line had a proper build up. Here I am also hoping they’d pair up again in a romance genre. LOL.

Overall, this is an 8/10 for me because I am all for romance and these are my biases. However, if I was ask to recommend this one to a KDrama newbie, this won’t be on my list. HUHU
