It was pleasant to watch and quite short since it's only 12 episodes. The acting was fine (IU performed much better in when life gives you tangerines), nothing extraordinary, the chemistry ok, the visuals great and the music quite good. The story however was average and with many plot holes, which could have been resolved with more character development. While I was watching the show I was wondering about many things that maybe I got wrong or maybe they didn't explain so well. Like why was the SML so obsessed with the FL when he never expressed his feelings towards her (and probably didn't want to earlier since she was an illegitimate daughter and probably wanted someone with more credentials). Why was the father so unloving towards the FL but still gave her the position of CEO? Shouldn't he have a more straightforward attitude? Why did the former king want to quit? I get that he was oppressed but we don't get to know him well enough to understand it. And I don't understand the main villain at all, his efforts seemed rushed and over the top. Oh and I really dislike the fact that after the marriage the FL that seems to be very powerful and determined, suddenly seems scared, weak and in need of a savior... As I said it was a good show, but that's about it. I know it's longer and older, but in that "modern day kingdom" and "fake marriage" categories I prefer Goong.
