ADORBS! Please Watch this Sweet Little Nugget.
Review:
This is a sweet little nugget this is. Perfect for a cozy sunday afternoon light affair with earnest performances & an engaging simple story. it's a fun premise: a man disguised as his sister gets married to the boyish nobleman ryu and a sweet friendship that grows into a deep fondness ensues. . It has a good balance of sincerity & fluff with the golden charm of a 16th-17th century Korea.
However the scale of the story is small, there are no subplots or any garnishing or detailed sets - there's a charming simplicity to the scope of this story - it gets right to it with 8 short episodes but you'll find yourself appreciating it.
extra notes:
-I really like the actors, both adorable and convincing. I like the way Nobleman Ryu's face holds the gaze of the camera - I like his closeups. You see the vulnerability & restraint -it's adorable.
-The production value isn't high enough for a period piece but they've managed to create something special and with quality.
-I'm sure if the budget was higher the scale of the story would be more expansive, with more characters, details & parallel storylines - the story lends itself to a bigger scale easily - wouldn't mind if this was ever remade with 20 eps - it would work.
