Well, I dont know where to start. This is my first 24 episode drama, and I know they’re often regarded as a breeding ground for rookie actors, low-budget productions, and second-tier actors.
For the first three episodes, I kept wondering why I was putting myself through this. The throne alone in the first episode shows just how cheap this drama looks. The wallpaper on the throne is badly pasted on, and you can even see the assembly joints. So I almost dropped the drama.But the story made me want to keep watching for a little longer, and in the end, I found myself starting to enjoy the two main characters, especially the FL.
Let’s not lie to ourselves, though: this is still a drama with quite a few rookie actors and some pretty bad ones. The drama is clearly going for a very comedic tone, and in some ways, it works at times, but the direction is pretty poor. I’m not used to this kind of drama, so maybe that’s exactly what people who watch these dramas are looking for.
I think the main positive takeaway for me will be the FL, who, with a bit more experience and better opportunities, deserves to be in a bigger production.
