2016 is back?

As we all know 2016 was the peak of Kdrama and even before or after that there were so many amazing shows that touched our hearts.
But honestly? This year? It feels like I’m back in 2016 again with the kdramas and Perfect crown is one of them hits.

The acting, music, THE STORY. The plot was deep yet the storytelling didn’t disappoint honestly. The romance plot was also done so elegantly fitting for the storyboard, and the ENDING touched my heart.
Disclaimer: For this review, i went in based on the fact that the drama’s main genre is ‘romance’ ‘romcom’.

And little fangirling here:
More so the SUPPORTING ACTORS are INSANE for their ACTING cause oof girl SFL,, i just can’t hate the woman, antagonist (even though he damn hot) MAI GAWD HIS CHARACTER MADE ME WANNA GO THROUGH THE SCREEN AND GIVE HIM A REALITY CHECK. The little king? SUCH A CUTIE PLEASE DON’T CRY EVERY AGAIN.
And the real MVP of this drama is FL’s BROTHER AND SISTER IN LAW, OMG THEY REALLY,,, EVERY TIME THEY COME ON SCREEN I JUST LOVE THEM.
The Aide couple are EVERYTHING AHHAHHA
Our FL and ML didn’t fall behind they were such a great couple together and their chem was off charts ooof.

Okay conclusion:
All in all the story didn’t let even the supporting characters fall behind, every character was properly shown and didn’t take over the storyboard nor the plot. The storytelling left nothing behind and what started elegantly maintained that tone throughout. Though i would argue there are some crumbs that I’m more curious as the audience,
1) what ever happened to SML?
2) who was the person that SIL had planted in the palace?
3) SFL said she’s protect the fam of the person who poisoned the tea cup… i almost thought they were trying to say the little king was her child instead but ended up it’s just so she can testify,,, but on what ground did she agree to testify though?
4) who killed the mother of ML? Did the ML really die from the fire or did he set the fire himself? Cause it didn’t make sense to me? The king sent the box and written will to I-AN but how did he send it without anyone noticing the fire?
5) I’m curious on what Lee Wan is good at that doesn’t include managing the country xD

Apart from these crumbs,,, i see a lot of comments thinking why the monarchy had to be abolished,,,
It had to be or else the plot wont make sense? Huiju didn’t want the noble title, she wanted her opportunity to get the company under her name, for that she either would have to divorce Lee Wan if the monarchy stands, but it’s a romance genre, divorce is a no go, so abolish the monarchy, simple. Remember the whole thing started cause FL said ‘wtf why am i missing opportunity just cause I’m not born into a title?’

Plot went on vacation in the middle and never came back…

First of all, let me start with the great points of this series.
1. Cinematography
2. Action Scenes (in the first half)
3. Acting…. Sure..

That’s kinda all that I can give on for now. Definitely not something I would rewatch. What hooked me on to the series was the BGM ngl. The plot…. OOO BOY let’s get into it.

So first it’s kinda explained that there are 2 obvious foxes who are ‘thousand years old’ and they smart and shit and then the demon hunters, one who SEEMS to be male lead and the other who SEEMS to be the second lead characters…. The OG ML is also portrayed strong and not easily trusting yet kind… contradicting but okay i took it at face value. Through out the plot it’s interesting cause their missions or objective of these characters keep aligning and each character doesn’t always stay on the same side.
It’s when they try to fight the sand demon and enter into like a mirror dimension, AND EVEN THEN, it’s okay. The story inside that mirror dimension is quite interesting and all BUT it kinda irked me on the OUTSIDE of this mirror dimension that exists inside that stone, where some side characters try to keep this ummm ‘stone’ from breaking, IT GOT ME LAUGHING BRO IT’S RIDICULOUS, no matter how much you wanna throw logic out the window…
They say the mirror dimension works on a different time space so the time outside might not be much while the time inside could be 50 years (this is when a lot of feelings develop understandable), but the guy who is keeping this thing alive is using a lot of energy and THIS OTHER GUY JUST STARESSSSS HAHAHAHAH he just LOOKS HAHAHAH omg and this WEASEL,,, TOOKA DAY TO GO AND GET SOME TOOL FROM HIS HOMETOWN AND MY OTHER GUY WAS STILL STARING HAHAHA

Anyway after this is when the plot decides to take a permanent vacation cause wtf… from this point you don’t know who is the ML and who are the side character and who is the villain in this big “plot” cause my DRAGON DEITY LOVES SINGLE TEAR SCENES it’s almost in every episode at least once, the ‘thousand year smart old foxes’ are suddenly sad and just ‘omg how could this happen,,, i mean i still know a lot but i don’t know why this is happening’. We see more of Ji Ling and Lu Wuxi and honestly heartbreaking but like WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING??? Out of no where there is TIMETRAVEL and new identities at the last min and THE WEASEL FALLS IN LOVE in the middle and umm THE DEMON IS EVERYWHERE APPARENTLY?

And there’s this battle of ‘no I’m going to sacrifice,,, no me,,, no me i would give life for you,,,nooo let me sacrifice myself insteaddd” moments and then an anti -climatic demon battle WHERE THERE ARE FIVE OR MORE HEROIC CHARACTERS AND ONE DEMON. ONE. They defeat the OG demon body in one shot. Then the demon shift into Lu Wuyi and THE DEMON DETROYS THE OG ML IN ONE HIT and it takes SEVERAL HITS for them to WOUND HER WHEN SHE NOT EVEN MOVING FFS AIWUEFBAWIF, at this point Ji Ling is confirmed dead. BUT THEY BRING HIM BACK ALIVE TO STOP ONE DEMON (and i say this is ridiculous cause they have to travel SO FAR AND COME BACK AND THESE GUYS ONLY MANAGE,, ONEEEE MF HIT ON THE DEMON LIKE BROTHER SHE NOT EVEN MOVING THERE ISNT EVEN A TALK NO JUTSUGOIGN ON HERE THEY JUST HAVING A BLOOD SPITTING MOMENT AND THEN SOME HERIOC DIALOGUE BEFORE THEY HIT A NON MOVING DEMON,,, and then JILING who ISNT EVEN THE OG ML COMES TO SAVE THE DAY WHEN HE’S NOT EVEN THE ALMIGHTY DRAGON DEITY WHAT DO YOU MEANNNNNN HAHAHAHAHHHAHA

And then boom everybody comes back to life and everybody dies and comes back to life AGAIN AFTER THEY TIME TRAVEL AGAIN.

I don’t know what i watched ngl.

A drama of hypocrisy

- It has a good story and the plot is pretty consistent as well as the acting.
- The romance is like a side plot course the main focus is about influencers which honestly made the whole story even better than cliche kdramas.
- There are some pretty annoying characters and sometimes that annoying character can be the FL but I found this to be more relatable.
- i love how the characters prove you wrong of your expectations
- the FL can be so naive sometimes but then her payback really is just as big lol. She doesn’t hold back.
- it’s a good binge
