The start was pretty interesting, when they introduced the characters etc etc. But the middle part just got so draggy and boring. And the ‘interesting’ scenarios were all too typical. I feel like there was no storyline for the middle 5 episodes at all ... the storyline in general isn’t the best but the setting was good, like the idea of the matchmaking agency etc and the kings story etc but the small milestones were all so insignificant and boring. Personally, I really hated the 2 lead roles, I just didn’t like the fact that she fell in love w the matchmaker and I was shipping her w the king all along, it actually took me pretty long to realise he wasn’t the male lead zzz
The actors in this are all fantastic on their own, I don’t dislike any of them but together, I felt like the 2 leads were very awkward (not their acting but compatability in general) I just didn’t enjoy watching them at all and many lines felt very cringy and forced to me, even as a melo kdrama fanatic. However, this drama really drew me towards seo jihoon, i feel like he shone the most to me. His crying scenes made me want to cry too and when he looked at gaettong w those eyes, my heart melted istg. I felt like he really outshone Kim Minjae in this, which is strange since I actually really enjoy Minjae’s Acting normally. Gong Seungyeon did average too, she was great sometimes but there were some scenes that were just so awkward.
I feel like it has potential to do so much better, if they made a few tweaks to the plot and did some recasting. I feel like Kim Minjae wasn’t the most suitable for this role, he really didn’t manage to stand out. Seungyeon, however, despite her not fantastic acting skills honestly fit the character pretty well in my opinion. But they need to cut down the number of crying scenes istg theres at least 2 people crying every episode.
The couple that felt more natural and I actually enjoyed watching were the 2nd Leads. I felt much more chemistry watching them than the main leads. And the way the guy looked at the girl omg my heart beat so fast,, they cast him pretty well in my opinion, he had that seductive vibe LOL.
The music was fairly good, no complaints. Overall, this drama was meh. It could’ve been much better but wasn’t terrible. And I can see why so many people dropped it and why others like it so much. It’s a mix of typical cringe + a interesting setting so it’s worth a try if you think you’ll like it, I guess.

Now I know why this drama annoyed many and had low rate Although the story was a great fertile soil for romance, the romance between main leads was really cold and lukewarm
Because the writer didn't know how to express the feeling between main leads
Hesitating between keeping it platonic pure romance or normal one
And the result was definitely this Cold romance
The end was deliquescent and something weird in it
I loved a lot that women in this drama were having strong personalities
inspite of the 2nd FL were extremely Bi*** with dead face expression
And Do Joon was too good for that Bi*** 🤬
And I didn't feel sympathy at all with Young soo
I dislike his character a lot
He is so coward in spite he had a lot of people around to help him , he chose to betray them
and the end was too rush as if the writer remembered suddenly he reached ep 16 and he should end it anyway
In spite of all its flaws I really enjoyed and liked,
and i didn't feel bored
it succeeded to keep me going on watching
HOPE the 1st ML improve himself more and to see him in more main roles
He is really good
Kim min jae (FIGHTING)

A well-written story with well-written characters
I absolutely loved this one! I'm really not sure where all the criticism is coming from for this one. I thought the story was amazingly written and that the actors did amazingly well to bring it life. It's largely character focused and there's a lot of character work done, but it still doesn't skimp on storyline. Personally, I really enjoyed it and it's definitely made its way on my list of favorites.Was this review helpful to you?

For the cast, they've good chemistry even I watching their Behind-the-scenes. The ost so far they show us 3 songs but 2 has been released. It looks like gaeddong will end up with mahoon cause the story is about matchmaker live. But I'm scared that lee soo will become evil king if he didn't end up with his 1st love. Doojoon and that noble lady are one of my fav couple for this drama. You can see how they met and interaction so far so cute but it'll be more complex bcz of her father. And youngsoo is my favorite character in this drama, his reaction more like drama but at the same time it's looks like he has many secrets. So far I know thet he hiding some information from his friends, because he always saying kim soo name with lee soo(it's look like he already know from the start), he even know mahoon past, and he had more than 100 bottles of perfumes because his hobby is mix and match scene.

What was that? ?
超级难看别浪费自己的时间I was recommended this because I liked Mr Queen. It’s nothing close to that “masterpiece”.
Maybe it’s not for me.
But the first few minutes of the first episode were quite painful to watch.
The way they introduced the so called match makers. They made them seem cool but I just couldn’t see that for myself.
Didn’t like anyone
Didn’t like the female lead
I felt like everyone’s acting didn’t come off natural.
I’ve never acted in my life so this is no direct criticism on the actors themselves. I’m sure they tried their best. Anyhow , I’ll pass on this one.
I couldn’t get past the first episode. But some have rated it 10 so don’t take my word for it. See for yourself .

storia inconsistente ... noiosa
Questa serie è un copia-incolla di altri k-drama storici, la storia è inconsistente e si dilunga in modo eccessivo ... mi stavo annoiando ... gli attori sono bravi, ma non basta ... ho guardato un paio di episodi e la fine e poi ho lasciato perdere. Ho dato 7 come giudizio per chi non ha mai visto serie storiche, è tutto sommato piacevole, gli attori sono bravi e anche la fotografia non è maleWas this review helpful to you?
