PURE EXCELLENCE
I binged this show in three days that should tell you how good it is.
One thing I will say before writing the rest of my review, I love how this drama showed one big middle finger the the love triangle trope from jump they never took it seriously and established from the being where all the character's feelings truly lied all the "love triangles" were one sided and sorted out in a way that made sense to me the narrative never felt like it was trying to make me choose the choice was always clear.
The plot of the drama is so refreshing I haven't been watching dramas for all that long but this drama handled the premise of a man being body swapped into a women's body just amazingly, each choice the characters made felt in line to the type of people they are, the bad guys were written really well and overall the drama never dropped in pace for me.
The chemistry between our two leads?!?!?! Lord I'm going to thinking about that episode 9 kiss for a VERY long time jesus christ but besides that the two leads had such a sweet and intense dynamic like off rip they were just entertaining to watch bounce off each other and I was rooting for the to have their happy ending, just a amazing couple and very well written they were each other's pillars and I wish we got more of them.
[ side note : I LOVE that the drama decided to not make her dad a bad guy I've been loving it when drama's allow the father figure who originally seemed to not care about our female lead to then have it revealed that they did care and then for the rest of the drama they support them in everything that they do THANK YOU ]
Court Lady Choi..... This diva, THIS QUEEN deserves her own section, I was always aware of her character as I saw clips of the drama floating around but my God I wasn't ready for how much she stole my heart, every time she was on screen I was dying laughing or crying my tears out, I love all the characters in this drama but she has a special place in my heart, and yes her relationship with the Royal Chef was GOALS.
I read through some reviews that people weren't happy with the ending but I have to disagree everything felt right including her coming back to her body like I didn't watch this expecting that Bong Hwan was going to stay in her body like let's be for real now my girl got her happy ending with the man she loves and that's all I needed.
[ side note : I'm absolutely rooting for Hwa Jin and Prince Yeongpyeong to get their happy ending that was WAY too much angst for my liking ]
This is a amazing drama that is worth the watch.
