I’m a sucker for fake contractual marriages AND I love IU so I just HAD TO watch this. And as the title suggests, I loved the romance so much! It was so good, it had me giggling and kicking my feet. And so episodes 1-8 were great. But the political story was honestly pretty bad, making the last four episodes a let down. I wished the political side of the story was more thoroughly developed. Instead, it felt like we were just being told it is what it is without really understanding WHYY it was what it was. And I truly didn’t understand most of what was happening and I don’t think it was supposed to be hard to understand. I just found myself asking why and had no choice but to accept it for what it was.

But other than that, acting-wise, of course I loved IU. She shines as she usually does and her outfits were (mostly) amazing. And I’m not sure why Byeon Woo Seok got so much criticism? I don’t think he was stiff or emotional-less at all, he was playing the character as he should be played and showed emotions when he needed to.

Overall, I enjoyed it, especially because I really don’t watch many Kdramas anymore after so many have been such a let disappointment. But I can feel that urge to watch kdramas reawakening after this one. But we’ll have to see if others live up to the hype.
Til next time!
