So the start of the drama was so good it sucked me in immediately. Why? Well, first the child actress did so well, like she seriously made this really good she cobveyed the right feelings everytime and just did an outstanding job. Second, the storyline in itself was pretty interesting, it is certainly something new. You may say it is not a new concept since there are many other dramas in which a girl or a boy disguises as the other gender. Yes i agree, however never have i seen it with ancient times dramas. So i thought oh wow pretty interesting. And it really sucks you in. In the start you start wondering hiw everything will play out. Like lets be honest how the hell will you hide the real gender of a king? They are expected to marry and have children at a young age and how would no one notice. OK, now lets go to the problem. Well don't get me wrong but honestly not many of them knew how to act like, some of their acting was sloppy they did not make me feel like i am living with the characters, like i feel what they feel, that was very very lacking. This, could be because of two reasons or they really didnt know how to act, or the script was written poorly. Honestly, I believe it was both. And that brings me to the fact that the storyline just became uninteresting, just so unclever, and unrealistic. Like, why the hell is the grandpa so fixated in making him king, he has no legitimate reason and when he gets asked why and you expect this elaborate answer he just answers with its my desire like bro wtf. also the amount of times they bring flashback scenes is just not it like bro i know already you have showed the same flashback like a million times, this made the acting feel so poor like legit it downgraded the whole thing. Also, why the hell did everyone start becoming so helpless. Like legit they drag the crown prince away and the dude be seeing how people be fighting for him/her and he/she just stands there like bro you also know how to fight pick up a damned sword and fight with him. Just everything makes no sense the story is just a bunch of cliches badly excecuted like dont get me wrong oh how i love a good cliche. Again GOOD cliché. This was just poor writting and editing like i am also dissapointed about the osts. The songs are legitimately good, its just they play them overand over again to make scenes more dramatic but it doesnt because they overplay them so it just makes the scenes less captivating. And ma man you cant tell me you broke a leg and was fine and then you legit get a scratch on your arm from an arrow and you almost be dying. Also that part is really a mess they be looking for you and then wait a whole day to start looking again and then miraculously start finding blood traces like no no no . And after that you carelesly go to the market and enjoy the day then the crown prince is left alone and gets kidnapped they didnt even show how the hell they found his whereabouts just out of nowhere they know where everyone is hidding and bruh i really am about to drop this show. The only thing stopping me from dropping this show is because i want to see how they bring down the grandpa. Also i mean you can watch the show it just isnt that great. Watch it for the repeating love scenes. Which get boring after some time and the good visuals. They all pretty faces.
