How is this and why is this not compared to "Goblin"?
This drama is basically the Goblin of 2022. Now, this isn't about popularity but because of the setting, it is given.
Even though both dramas have huge gaps in the plot, the essence is the same. A rom-com, fantasy thriller with heart-wrenching scenes to cry.
We got killer leads (literally), magic that fulfills, romance to die for, MLs who are imperfectly perfect, awesome FLs with brains, and endings with pain.
Just how did we forget?

In both dramas the main couple is willing to sacrifice themselves for each other. In both dramas a close family member of the fl is killed and she wants revenge. In both darmas the ml is the son of a king. In both dramas the romance is developing not that slowly but not that quickly as well.
