I wanted a fun buffer drama that was quick before diving into a more serious drama and this one did the job. With 20 episodes, that were 30 minutes each, this went by really fast. Did I enjoy it? Eh. Sure. After reading a few really nice reviews before starting this, I kind of feel bad for writing this review, but compared to the last few dramas I have watched, this did not compare. But I gave it a .5 star rating increase.
For me personally, this drama came off like a Saturday morning kids drama you would watch with your kids. It was silly and light but had a lot of mature jokes and content (such as one of the first scenes we see when Song Soo Jung goes back to the past and is in line with 3 other men awaiting punishment getting different appendages cut off.) Maybe it is because I recently saw Gong Seung Yeon in My Introverted Boss and disliked her character and transferred those feelings over to this drama OR maybe it was because I looked up Lee Jong Hyun after watching the first episode and knowing what had happened in 2019, that I just didn't vibe with these characters whatsoever. But I did enjoy On Dal's character and his relationship with Soo Jung. It was just a very quirky drama that I feel like you either will love or hate. Out of all the characters though, I feel like the Princess was the one who went through the most, but hey...she wanted that storybook romance.
The first half of the drama was a little painful to get through, but once the mains start to understand their feelings for one another and act on them, the story picks up, especially the last few episodes. I think the last few episodes def made me give this a higher score.
I believe my favorite character would be a tie between Mu Myung and Go Il Yong. Maybe Prince Ko, eldest brother of the Ko family (Go Yong) a little more. What can I say, I love a good villain even though...the king was a bigger villain to the mains. I liked Mu Myung because she was this badass warrior who only had loyalty to the princess, but was annoying because he believed he was worthless. I'm down with that. I loved Prince Ko because while every character jumped around between being silly and serious, not knowing what kind of drama this was, Prince Ko was always flamboyantly self-centered who thought he was the most badass general but was actually all bark and no bite. I loved his wild laugh that fit the mood of the drama perfectly, and strangely, loved his interactions with Soo Jung. Without him, this drama would be trash. Sorry, not sorry. Even when he had the upper hand, no one was really worried.
As for the ending - I got it...but felt like there could have been more explanation. The last few episodes were good, that I felt a little disappointed with how they did the ending. The ending was good and sweet, but I feel like they didn't have to give it to us in the last 2 minutes of the final episode with zero explanation or how. But I guess if it a quirky Saturday morning kids dramas, it isn't neccesary.
