A bit creepy
I really wanted to like The Beauty Inside, but it just didn’t work for me. For some reason, the core premise felt more creepy than romantic. Watching the female lead constantly transform into completely different people—including older individuals, men, and even very young children—made me feel genuinely uncomfortable.Because of this, I couldn't connect with the main couple and found myself fast-forwarding through most of their episodes. On the bright side, I absolutely loved the second leads! Their storyline was compelling, and they were the only reason I kept watching.

Cute
I absolutely loved the premise of the male lead arriving in the present day from 500 years ago. His fish-out-of-water moments were incredibly funny! The chemistry between the main leads was a highlight for me, especially when he first arrived from the palace as a "young master." It was also refreshing to have a story without genuinely evil villains to ruin the mood, and I thought their wedding vows were adorable.However, I have to be honest: I was very disappointed by the ending. The fact that it felt like their love story never actually happened ruined the experience for me. That ending is the only reason I’m not giving this a full 10 stars.

Ordinary
In my opinion, King the Land was a very ordinary drama. While many loved the main couple, they just didn't click for me, and I found the female lead’s role felt a bit too much like a 'maid for the rich.' However, the supporting cast saved it! I actually preferred the second lead characters—the friends were hilarious, and the assistant provided some of the best laughs. I also really enjoyed the romance between the flight attendants. Watch it for the side characters, but the main story felt a bit underwhelmingWas this review helpful to you?

Dropped it
The Female Lead: Her acting stressed me out with all the screaming and weird faces. Plus, her character logic made no sense. Why did she take better care of her hair and appearance as a young girl than she did as a messy adult?The Male Leads: The main lead was entirely too cruel and rude. The second male lead deserved so much better—he was incredibly funny, sweet, and caring.
The "Best Friend": Hated her. What she did behind the female lead's back was completely inexcusable.Overall, a very disappointing and frustrating drama.

Finished because of male lead
I ended up fast-forwarding through the vast majority of this drama. The only reason I actually pushed through to the final episode was my appreciation for the male lead's performance and charm.Overall, the storyline felt incredibly boring and struggled to hold my attention.
The Main Romance: A major letdown for me was the lack of connection between the two main characters. The leads just didn't have the necessary chemistry to make the romance believable or engaging.
While the main plot fell flat, the saving grace of the show came from the supporting cast. I actually really enjoyed:
The Detective
The Male Lead's Female Friend
Their scenes brought some much-needed energy to an otherwise dull watch.

So so
I preferred the first part of the drama when the FL was pretending to be a man—it was very funny, and she was so sweet and likable. However, the show took a bad turn for me later on. I really hated it when she hid her pregnancy and left him. In my opinion, keeping a secret like that and just walking away is completely inexcusable and unforgivable. She acted so selfishly in that part of the show, which ruined her character for me. I just couldn't understand or justify her choices at all.🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐏🦊💦🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵💚💚💚💚💛💛💛💛💛💛Was this review helpful to you?
Silly moment
The drama started out well, but I just couldn't warm up to the female lead—there was absolutely no chemistry between the main characters. Honestly, the only reason I even finished the show is because I love the male lead. The plot had too many childish moments, and I really didn't like the way Louis ate. Plus, he depended way too much on others, both during his amnesia and after he was cured; he just wasn't independent at all. Because of this, I found myself fast-forwarding through a lot of it.Was this review helpful to you?

Nice Ost
I’m officially done with this drama. I love a good fantasy, but I have zero patience for the trope where the ending reveals it was all just a writer’s imagination. It’s such a lazy way to wrap up a story, and it leaves me feeling cheated. You invest so much time into the plot and the relationships, only to find out they were never ‘real’ even by the show's own standards. It’s hard not to see the series as a complete waste of time when the final payoff is essentially telling the audience that none of it matteredWas this review helpful to you?
Weird
The drama Be My Princess was a bit strange. The age gap between the leads felt massive, making their dynamic hard to buy into. Furthermore, the plot lacked logic—it’s difficult to imagine why anyone would want to marry a man suffering from amnesia, especially when he was so mentally disturbed that he believed he was a historical figure from ancient times.Because the story felt so nonsensical, I ended up fast-forwarding through a significant portion of it. To make matters worse, the final two episodes were a complete waste of time, as they consisted almost entirely of flashbacks from the rest of the series.

Nice
My favorite part of the drama was when she first arrived in "New Joseon." I found it confusing that the male lead had a double with the exact same appearance and last name back in "Old Joseon." While the second lead couple was funny and cute—making them my favorite pair—there were overall too many evil people for my taste. The number of villains made it harder to focus on the parts I enjoyed.🌻🌻🌼🌻🌼🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸💮🌸🌼💮🌼💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸🌸💮💮🌸💮🌸🌸💮🌸🌸🌸💮🌸🌸💐🌻🌻🌺🌺🌺🥀🥀🥀🌺Was this review helpful to you?
Depressing
I found this drama to be a major disappointment. While many coming-of-age stories find beauty in growth, this one was unnecessarily depressing. The finale was particularly frustrating; seeing the core group of friends disconnect and move on in different directions felt like a betrayal of the audience's emotional investment. Instead of a satisfying conclusion, it offered a cold dose of reality that made the hours spent watching it feel like a total waste. If you are looking for a show that celebrates friendship, I would suggest skipping this one."🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🤭🥲🤭🤭🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🤭🥲🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭Was this review helpful to you?
Bad Pacing
The cousin was the highlight for me, despite his limited screen time. The ML was actually a decent CEO for once, and the FL was childish but okay. I did have to fast-forward the last 10 episodes, though, as the story lost its momentum..😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺Was this review helpful to you?
Top 5
I’ll admit it: I was actively avoiding this drama because I’m usually not a fan of noona romances, but I am so glad I gave it a chance! It officially crashed my Top 5 list. The chemistry between the leads was just precious—they were perfectly paired and beyond adorable. But the absolute highlight? The 'Black Dragon' karaoke scene. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time! If you’re on the fence like I was, just watch it. Beyond the romance, the side characters and the humor are what make this so special.Was this review helpful to you?
Beautiful ?
🌹🐅🌹🐅🌹🐅🌹🐅🌹🐅🌹🐅🌹🐅🌹🐅🌹🐅🌹🐅🌹🐅🌹🐅🌹🐅🌹🐅🌹🐅🌹🐅 This was my first period costume drama. I usually prefer modern dramas because I dislike war, blood, and violent scenes, but I really loved this one! The main leads were perfectly paired and their acting was excellent. The Female Lead (FL) was funny and adorable, and I also really enjoyed the chemistry between the Male Lead (ML) and the FL's servants. While the last two episodes were mostly sad, I was happy that it ultimately had a positive endingWas this review helpful to you?
Unique
Love Crossed masterfully balances virtual dreams with real-world stakes. It explores the loneliness of our modern digital age and the courage it takes to be imperfect in a world that constantly demands a filtered, curated version of reality. I was surprised by the sheer depth of the writing; it isn't just a simple romance, but a thoughtful story about the value of tangible, real-life connections. If you are looking for a drama that is unique, visually striking, and emotionally resonant, this is a must-watch. It’s a rare gem that respects its characters' growth and leaves the audience reflecting on their own relationship with the digital world.Was this review helpful to you?
