Story good. Characters to be desired
I watched the entire drama because it was funny, the story itself i thought was interesting and i liked that they added modern references to what is supposedly a historical fantasy drama. But throughout the entire thing, i just found the characters to be lacking and infuriating. There was no development of the villan’s character or the king’s brother’s character. Even by episode 23 you still dont know what is motivating the hate and/or desire. You can assume that its power, but nothing in the show indicates that or why they want that.The one thing that is the cause for this low rating is the character of the princess. The actress did a wonderful job in portraying the character, I believe, but the character was just a contradiction. She’s supposed to be lovable, charming, and a free thinker, but all I got was narcissistic, selfish, and superficial. She never even tried to give the king a chance and was always just chasing after her own agenda. This character may not affect everyone, but for me, it was just infuriating to watch. I did not like her at all.

Worth the watch
I truly wanted to rate this higher. I really loved the concept and actually thought to myself, this show is amazing and I'm already sucked in within the first 1/2 hour. I was sure this was going to be a solid 10. But as the I watched more episodes, unfortunately, I found the main female character to be so weak and it kinda ruined it for me a little bit. Aside from that, I would still definitely recommend this drama and it is worth the time.Was this review helpful to you?
