I might be the only one, but I'm baffled by the 8.7 rating this show has received. I'd generously give it an 8, but even that feels too lenient. Initially promising, I'm now on episode 38 and finding it increasingly unreasonable and frustratingly dumb. The once-intelligent and capable female lead seems to have lost her discernment, openly criticizing the king despite knowing the risks involved. Considering her past experiences with both her family's downfall and her ex-fiancee's family trouble, one would expect her to exercise caution, especially with such an incompetent and manipulative ruler. I mean ...while honesty is commendable when confronted with an evil and irrational king, it's prudent for those who are smart to seek alternative approaches.
Similarly, the male lead, initially portrayed as competent, now appears to be nothing more than a tool, failing to take meaningful action despite realizing his insignificance.
As for the king, his erratic behavior swings between unreasonableness and outright evil, yet when directly challenged, he inexplicably retreats into passivity when the male lead directly disobeys his command to help the female lead... It's utterly bewildering and frustrating to witness this decline in quality and coherence.
Yup , great but totally over rated I will also describe it . I don't know why people are going gaga over it .…
In my opinion, I find it less appealing to watch portrayals of family dynamics or marriages where communication is lacking, leading to avoidable misunderstandings. For example, when the FL found out about the divorce papers, the ML could've told her straight-up how she'd been a total bitch, showing him zero respect, and it was suffocating so he wanted out, but while he was faking affection just to secure his spot in her will, she wasn't the devil he painted her to be so he fell in love with her again. This simple misunderstanding dragged out to several episodes of the cat and mouse game!
Does the ML always play the P**sy whipped role? I watched It's OK to not be OK and this..... I like this so far.....it is entertaining but totally over rated
