Came expecting nothing, or even to be bored here and there, and this drama delivers so much more than I could expect, the first 6 episodes got me excited for what is to come!
IU will be so well loved for a long time with her immense generosity.
Bae Suzy may be the Nation's First Love. Park Bo Young may be the Nation's Sister. IU will be the Nation's Daughter because she looks after her own, who are poor and financially strapped.
Just finished the finale, it definitely felt rushed but also quite a bit of filler scenes which didn't imo add any substance. It's sort of disappointing cause I wasn't hooked on it after each ep anticipating the next. Both leads didn't do much for me either despite their visuals. I found IU character such a narcissist (her acting is ok) and BWS feels sort of wooden here. The whole point almost felt like this rich lady chased status, got it but didn't like it and went back to status quo and don't get me started with the grand prince's ending. The storyline didn't help either, it felt almost pretentious and wonder what was the whole purpose of this show. This show definitely has a entertainment factor of grandiose with little to no substance, and also not much re-watch value. Idk, that's just my two cents.

didnt pm getting arrested make the cabinet agree to ian's wish of letting the public vote to abolishing the monarchy…
queen mother gave pm min the copy and as to how she got it im assuming someone made a copy of it when it was not in the safe yet! you need to watch ep 12 bc it took them about 3 years to abolish it
this was an avg drama. 2nd half felt really boring i skipped many scenes. I love iu's works but this felt off. but it was an okay watch if you are looking for something predictable cute chemistry definitely give it a try.

The first half was genuinely amazing, easily a 10/10 for me. But the second half turned into peak makjang chaos with illogical character development and villains that felt completely one dimensional. Personally, I think they fumbled the story pretty badly in the end. But well... at least some people still enjoyed it. I genuinely loved the drama at the beginning, maybe that's why I'm extra salty lol
But acting and cast was phenomenal! The leads and support cast were great! Sad that they wasted them for this kind of bad writing in the second half. Maybe the writer should stick to romcom and keep their hands off politics and melodrama ;D
it was fine and easy watch. i was really bored by the story by the end but i can understand if people like it overall. i'm just left with the feeling it's one of those that had so much potential to be an iconic romcom. modern monarchy + IU + BWS just sounded too good. anyway all the actors did so well. the writing really let them down.

What the heck was that, felt like blown up balloon let out air all of a sudden and fell flat on the ground Felt like wasted so much time it started off ok but anways kdramas arent the same anymore 8 out of 10 dramas are a disappointment recent years
In another life Hui Ju’s brother should be a celebrity because his love for the camera is out of this world 😂😂ðŸ˜ðŸ« (l will be his number one fan)
I liked the plot but they didnt have to abolish monarchy and move to real world plot. Like in korea even without noble title there is difference in the people status due to wealth and other factors.
