I believe a lot of content was cutted by the director. I'm pretty sure that IU having so many worls to choose,…
Oh trust me. Even though the story was none, I still was able to get entertained by the series till episode 8. By then, it was a 7 for me. But the disrespect towards the citizens made me cut off all those stars. Lol!
I lost it at episode 9. I tried so many times to continue watching the series, but nope. Maybe because I'm an adult and understand the importance of a good ruler and a leader of a nation, I simply couldn't look past how the regeant and the contract wife showed absolute no remorse or even a thought about how their childish mistakes was questioned rightfully by the nation. They kept focusing on the evil queen mom and her evil father, but wow talk about blame shifting.
I would have absolutely been able to watch it further if the couple at least showed remorse, explained themselves irrespective of whether they are forgiven or not. But no.. their priority and focus was on securing the royal position rather than apologizing to the entire nation that they fooled. I lost it at that. Couldn't respect them anymore! Dropping this joke of a series!
Wasn't the eye rolling in that scene in part because Huiju saw through the Queen Mother's hypocrisy? QM reached…
Which is why I have specified regarding the evil Queen Mom as well. However, I'm not talking about the intention, but about the facts. I stand by my comment without bias.
An evil character knows about what line not to cross, better than the main character.
And what was more funny? That the supposed regeant and his new contract wife were more concerned about his royal position, than feeling guilt towards the nation whom they treated like a joke! No worries at all about issuing a sincere apology or explanation to the public, after causing such a scandal.
How the hell did this drama even receive so much popularity is beyond me!!
All it has is visual elements! No plot, nothing! The entire cast is good, but wasted potentials. Ha! If the drama is an global success and the cast got paid a lot, then will they even care whether it was a drama worth adding to their portfolio?
For the first time in 9 episodes, at the council of royal relatives, the lead couple became villains in my eyes and the Queen Mother got my respect.
Lead pair couple acting like spoiled brats over their marriage contract, pretending to be victimes, while treating the whole nation as a joke, is truly infuriating. They should at least be embarrassed about themselves. If they didn't agree with the royal tradition, then leave, why stay? You want power and you want to do whatever you want while treating the country like a joke, is pure greed and immaturity. There is no excuse. If everyone of us in this world acted however we wanted because we believe its not really a bad thing, then where will this world go?? With more power comes more responsibilities. You want power, status, rank, wealth and also want to defy tradition?? How greedy!
Being a lead couple in a story doesn't mean everything they say or do is right. This is one of those lessons.
I put off watching this series exactly because of this. I knew from the posters and hype that it would be more of visuals than a good plot. And wow oh wow was I right! Not surprising.
I'm still watching episode 9 and one of the scenes didn't agree with me, so finally I came to post my comment~
It's the three year marriage contract issue. I couldn't agree with IU character's reaction. She basically made a fool out of the nation by chasing after the Royal Highness and signed the three year contract. And she has the audacity to roll her eyes because the Queen Mother called the council of royal relatives.
Well. I don't support the evil Queen Mom but in this very scene, I really want to slap some sense into the IU character for rolling her eyes. That shows how little regard she has for the nation and the people. She thinks everything is fun and games. Rolling her eyes for being called out on deceiving the people of the nation, is not cool.
Again. I'm not saying the royal tradition is great or contract marriages are great. It's more about being a little respectful whether it is agreeable or not, especially coming from a family of no-royal history and having a bad bitchy attitude on top of that. SMH!
I suspected Hyun Jae Hyeon because he was on the phone a lot (esp. because he seemed to know she'd turned herself…
Hmm interesting.. tbh I too only ever suspected him.. idk towards the end we knew that someone seemed to be managing her brand cos it was doing well without her, and he switched teams and even mentioned 'fun' as the reason. However, it could be because of his background - politician father, no need to worry about money, young and maybe just wants to take it easy. So, it's a bit vague.
Woah I wanted to punch Sarah Kim in the face many times right from the moment she voluntarily came forth for invetigation. This means Shin Hae Sun delivered a stellar performance right? 😂😂
Anyway, honestly what I understood is that Sarah Kin or Mi Jeong whoever she was, she used all the loopholes in the law perfectly 😯😯
The drama itself was captivating. Story telling was amazing. Cinematography was top notch!! I'd easily rate it a 8/10 at the least.
I couldn't understand various plots but I allowed myself to enjoy the story as presented!! Ending was open ended, but for a drama script as unique as this, remaining mysterious feels as right.
[Oh and doing so much within 48 hours is absolutely impossible, unless you have super powers, can teleport and can communicate with your team and everyone needed telepathically].
Loved loved loveeeed the performances of Shin Hae Sun and Lee Jun Hyuk!! So captivating!!
Another amazing delivery from Shin Hae Sun!! Her talent knows no bounds!! 🥰🥰
So my observation is there are types of people like Mina sue, Yes there are!! But there is definitely a limit.…
Yepp! Talking about good behaviours (being polite, considerate, empathetical), some behaviours are present in our nature , while some behaviours need to be learned and adapted - thinking before speaking/ acting. She seems to lack a lot in both aspects, which is why she is projecting a lot of bad qualities than her goodness.
The way Mina Sue flips so much, is making me doubt myself!! Wow this girl is no joke!! She won't get therapy but instead will send me to one!! Scary lol!

Honestly, if she picks Su Been, will it still work? Don't get me wrong. She will eventually go back home to U.S.
My ship is not based on distance though. I just felt they had an instant connection, romantically or not.
