Even though KYJ is very good at acting but something is still missing. And I realize she cannot express the feeling of love toward the crown prince naturally. Maybe she is too young for love role.
In case of Park Bo Gum, whenever he acts with KYJ, his acting is very natural but when he acts with older actors, he is sometimes stiff or overacted.
Moreover, PBG and KYJ is only cute without sexual chemistry. The second leads are not too good at acting too.
The story is a little boring. Even though I tried my best but I am not eager to see the new episode as the first two weeks. This drama is very slow. Some scene in ep 7 and ep 8 is worth remembering but whenever I finished watching this, I forgot all scene and dialogues so I think that it is not special to remember
The only thing is getting better is the music if compared with the first few episodes.

Everything is nearly perfect, especially the main cast. Doo Joon is born with the King's face. I did not know about BEAST and did not know he is idol before watching this drama. So surprise that he can convey all these emotions. He can express many faces of the king and a man. I think this role suits him better than the role in Let's eat. I did not pay attention on Kim Seul Gi in Surplus Princess, but I start to like her in Oh my Ghost but she is not outstanding enough in OMG. Now, I am totally impressed by her in Splash Splash love. Her acting is very good and natural. She looks so younger in SSL than her other dramas. The chemistry between the two main leads is both intense and cute at the same time.
The combination of story, direction and music are great that I had to search the writer and PD immediately. The writer is new and I also saw the old tv drama of this writer. In that drama, Kim Seul Gi is also the main lead. It is also interesting even though it is cannot be good as SSL. Her next tv drama is Universe's star. I am looking forward her next TV drama. Now the writer of SSL in my writer's list. I love the way the writer/director Kim Ji Hyun created the characters and how the characters developed.
Both the main leads's story developed in their own and together. The second leads's acting is ok even though they are not perfect but due to the lack of time, I am still satisfied with them. The main leads is 10/10 acting while second lead cannot achieve 10/10 so I just give 9.5 despite the fact that I want to give 10/10 in all section.
This story has some small flaws but the most I felt sad is that in the end, he still does not know her real name. He loved her, right? At least he should know that even though I understand why the writer did that. So 9.5!
In conclusion, this TV drama is the best Korean drama I have seen recently. The story is better than both Moon lovers and Moonlight. I have to say so. This drama makes me want to see short drama. Before watching SSL, I always liked watching long Korean drama.
