Entertaining enough — just not my kind of silly
The premise actually has something going for it. A modern queer superstar waking up in a past life in a kingdom where same-sex love is forbidden, navigating palace intrigue while trying to uncover the truth about the body they inhabiting — there's a genuinely interesting collision of worlds in there, and the intimate scenes delivered more than I expected.
But the series leaned into a kind of silliness that I personally couldn't get on board with. Not all silliness is created equal — some series wear it well, some tip into something that just doesn't land for me, and this was the latter. The entertainment value is there in flashes, but I kept losing the thread of my own investment.
Nothing about it was offensive or badly intentioned. It just wasn't my frequency. Sometimes that's simply how it goes.
