The Worst Kdrama I've ever watched
East Palace only have 8 episodes, but I still want to travel back in time and tell myself to avoid watching the film and count the tiles on the toilet instead.
The choices of music is bad, it doesn't fit the situation of the scenes nor the setting of the entire film.
The characters are bad, the only character I find great is the tiny gwi-mae who follows them around.
"Justice" doesn't exist in the drama. The evil actions of the characters don't have consequences especially the ultimate villain A.K.A the KING. Everyone in the drama seems to feel the resolution is great even the director, but the ending is the worst conclusion I've ever seen in Kdrama land. The main character died for 3 days while Primordial Gwi-mae gets ahold of him, and he became an evil spirit after destroying another spirit, and despite all those chains tying him down in the afterlife, he still miraculously woke up AFTER DYING FOR 3 DAYS. Yes, he resurrected like the Messiah Jesus Christ.
Death isn't taken seriously in the film because no matter how many times they die, they will still live because they are IMMORTAL.
Dire situations without consequences are boring and predictable.
The East Palace Kdrama is full of plot armor and plot holes.
Don't even bother watching it.
A complete waste of time.
