Absolutely loved this show in the early episodes, and guessed it was on track to be a full 10 for me. The chemistry was fire with them, but sadly after getting together romance takes a back seat and the office drama takes over. I love shows that don’t forget the fire that brought them together, and this didn’t do that. Its still a solid 8 for me but I’m frustrated they let that drop. I lovr a good rom com but this became more com than rom. Its a fine balance.
Grateful we didn’t hit too many irritating tropes, and that the annoying seconds dropped off the radar eventually. Decent show.
Started out so strong with a nice premise sadly got lost in the weeds of dragged out momentum - typical of that many episodes - it started to feel like they would never open their mouths…. and again tedious when FL who STARTED THE WHOLE DENIAL thing at the beginning acts holier than thou that ML is not being honest. OK sis but you aren’t either.
Thankfully it eventually resolves and you have enough episodes to enjoy a bit of lovey dovey.
Fabulous wrap on a surprising show. Hardly making any lists out there on socials - not sure why, its far better than Sold Out On You for a start. Yawn fest that one.
Great cast, hilarious plot and sweet ending just right.
Why this drama is so underrated? Views are very low, what's goin' on?
I don’t know how many people bother with Prime for kdrama? Its like on no ones lists of what they’re watching I have to mention it in comments every time
I initially dropped this when it first came out, and currently had nothing to watch and the 9.5 viki rating pushed me to give it another go. Its not spectacular and certainly not worth that kind of rating- MDLs seems much more realistic, however it had its cute and funny moments and some weird dark ones. Theres plenty left unexplained and you may feel confused at times bit overall it was a good historical piece with surprising intimacy scenes between the leads.
Not sure how I’m feeling about this drama at this point. Started out fun and fresh and now it’s feeling a bit heavy and weird. ML behaving strange, out of character. 2FL annoying as all get out. Like ugh.
steve got his big break this year, later starring acorss kim hee ae. though wish they do not pigeon hole him into…
Just go watch Soundtrack #2 if you’re worried about him being pigeonholed. He was an amazing ML in that, He didn’t suddenly get a big break this year, but for sure his IG suddenly got a boost no doubt.
WOW what a wonderful finale. It could have easily been written into a 16 episode BUT, it’s fine wrapping the way it did. This drama was so well cast and was visually stunning. The set was purposefully built and it was amazing having the historical elements of the monarchy with the gorgeous costumes-all set in a modernized yet still keeping the old elements of the Korean palace. Ignore the idiots throwing stones at this, just go watch sit back and revel in a stunning production. Character development everywhere was so good. I was so put off by Huiju at the start too, but hang in there. Are there tropes? yes, are there plot holes? plenty. But its a masterpiece and one I look forward to rewatching with family and friends. Beautiful drama, nice job production crew, cast and everyone that worked hard on it. And PM Min……. 😝
Could it be that I An is saying he will abdicate to flesh out the evil PM and then the sweet baby Catholic Jesus…
singing the end credits in ep 10 but it popped up again partway thru ep 11. they are calling it Parallel but Spotify pulled it as Fate Line. which is why I couldn’t find it earlier.

Besties relationship was cute too.
