I still have my Royal Nemesis on my "plan to watch" list l after all episodes are out, but the fact that it dropped over 150 spots in ranking this week isn't promising at all.
I adore this show ao much. In fact, it's shaping up to be one of my favorite asian dramas of the year. I'm still trying not to watch all of the available episodes, because I hate waiting. So i've read the novel intead. Such a wonderful healing story. I'll rewatch it in the future for sure.
I'm currently fighting the urge not to watch all of the available episodes. I tried to space it out, but I'm failing big time. This show is truly something special to me.
Perfect Crown is literally the first kdrama I can't move on from. Even though I'm watching Lovely Runner right now I catch myself rewatching my favorite episodes of Perfect Crown.
Miscommunication pretty much doesn' t exist in Hui Ju and Lee Wan's world and I bet that the more time passes, the more I'll appreciate it. I miss them so much.
More from Perfect Crown pop-up in Seoul. All these outfits on display, details and filming sets. It must be a wonderful experience to see it in person. https://vm.tiktok.com/ZNRnQbqNn/
After the third rewach of Perfect Crown I can honestly say that this kdrama cought me be surprise. In fact, even at the beginning of April it wasn't on my radar at all. I just pressed play at episode 1 because I like when something plays in the background. Little did I know...
I’ve been hooked since episode 1, and I rarely watch ongoing kramas. The world building, the soundtrack, the blooming love and communication, His Majesty even the secondary characters kept me engaged every week (Steward Kim has my whole heart <3) never failing to deliver pure entertainment to me.
Ultimately, Perfect Crown to me is all about healing, coming out of your shell and LIVING instead of just existing within the expectations and limitations forced upon someone.
Both Song Hui Ju and The Grand Prince were neglected and overlooked in their childhood. But the results of such treatment in their adult life are very different. In fact, in many ways they are polar opposites. Hui Ju goes through life led by anger, hidden behind high self-esteem. Meanwhile, I-AN settles for quiet restraint and obedience.
When they reconnect (after a decade of not seeing each other), suddenly they are no longer alone. Up until their reunion, they both navigated through life dealing with the tense relationship with their relatives relying mostly on their assistants. But after accepting Hui Ju’s proposal everything has changed. The way they take for each other from the jump need to be studied. To me, there are one of the healthiest couples I’ve came across in kdramas, and imho topping them in my book will be a struggle.
I’m very grateful that international watchers get a change to experience Perfect Crown lore thanks to the help and support of Korean speaking fans. Thanks to them we get the little gems from cast interviews and scripts, BTS and we can read the web novel, which I didn’t even anticipate, to be honest.
It shows me that despite lame haters working 24/7 we build our fandom of Perfect Crown and I hope it’ll be active for a long time. I really enjoy discussing this drama with y’all.
Even though It sucks that we’ve been robbed out off one third of the planned story, I cherish every single one of the 12 episodes. It’s my first kdrama from BWS and IU but certainly won’t be the last. In fact, I plan to finally watch Lovely Runner sometime next month and I’m yet to decide what to watch first from IU’s filmography. Any recs? I’m currently debating between Hotel Del Luna and Moon Lovers.
Perfect Crown becomes just the second kdrama I rewatch on a regular basis. I can’t wait till I get my hands on the box set.
I hope everything works out well for BWS and IU and I hope they’ll have a better experience on the sets of their future projects.
I held off as long as posibble and I'm glad I turnt the last episodes into a mini movie. Both Hui Ju and I Rang carried them in my opinion and delived pure karma to the PM. I've felt for a while shat the former QM will come to I-AN sooner or later. But in the end, she played a bigger role than anticipated.
She not only snitched on her father, but she also warned I-AN against the PM. In the last episode she did even more in episode 12 and utumately led to PM's downfall. As annoying as she's been mof of the show, I'm glad she switched sides. For me, that scene with Lee Wan in front of the music shop is a win. She can have a civil convrsation with him.
The PM underestimated how well Hui Ju knows him. I'm glad that she exposed him during s Council meeting. She delivered the final blow in front of everybody. There's no coming back from that.
I'm actually surprised that I-AN didn't really suspect the PM til the very end. I agree with Hui Ju's sentiment on him : You have such a gentle heart, it breaks my heart...
Here's my take after episode 10 pt 1: The person who might unexpectedly side with I-AN is the Queen Mother. Here's…
1) She already knows that It's only a matter of time till I-AN takes the Crown,
2) She already doesn't trust her father after the PM brought evidence that he tried to poison I-AN (He didn't hide it or tried to deny it either),
3) her interaction with her son in ep 10 might change a lot. She finally knows how badly she messed up and she finally saw him as a a child,
4) what I-AN told her might stuck with her. He wants to stand in front of his nephew to protect him, while everyone else seems to see him as a puppet.
5) what the PM said to her might scare her. I can totally see the threads he sent her way in episode 10 backfire on him.
6) I-AN is the only person who gave any sort of assurance that her life won't turn into a complete hell hole after her son is no longer the King. In fact, I AN openly told her that he won't make her pay for her sins (even if his did it for the same for his nephew,
7) ep 10 confirmed that she has romantic feelings for I-AN. Even though it's one sided, she won't be neutral about another attempt on his life,
8 ) I'm positive the QM tried to warn I-AN at the end of episode 10, that's why...
9) she'll bring " the girl she hid" to the palace. In my opinion, it's 99% Aurum, the girl who gave testimony against her father. Aurum went straight to the PM to come clean, but he decided to cover it up instead.
Cdramas:
Nothing But You 2023

I have a very long list of dramas I wanna watch so if MRN doesn't have a strong finish It's no longer one of my priorities.
I'm still trying not to watch all of the available episodes, because I hate waiting.
So i've read the novel intead.
Such a wonderful healing story. I'll rewatch it in the future for sure.
Miscommunication pretty much doesn' t exist in Hui Ju and Lee Wan's world and I bet that the more time passes, the more I'll appreciate it.
I miss them so much.

I'll watch the last two episodes together!
WHY?!
2) She already doesn't trust her father after the PM brought evidence that he tried to poison I-AN (He didn't hide it or tried to deny it either),
3) her interaction with her son in ep 10 might change a lot. She finally knows how badly she messed up and she finally saw him as a a child,
