Absurd Royal Comedy That Starts Strong and Falls Flat
I have such mixed feelings about this one. It started off stylistically offbeat, with absurd content and raw execution—but somehow, it worked. It was enough to keep me watching, sometimes laughing wryly, even as I wondered how I was still watching it at all.
The dynamic between the king and queen—between the queen and everyone—was genuinely funny. The ongoing punchline was that she was “ugly,” and the antics that followed were silly but still amusing in their own ridiculous way. However, around the halfway mark, the focus shifted. What began as intriguingly obscure became repetitive and slow. I grew to expect the same rhythm between conflict and resolution—and that’s where the drama lost me. That said, the ending was interesting. The final scene sets up a transition into Season 2, which has already been released.
