this show truly has so much potential but the script and directing is just lazy... could give us so much juicy palace politics, more detailing in making them fall for one another (and not rely on ian having liked huiju since school).. heck even the styling (mostly for huiju) falls kinda flat sometimes. the osts are also mostly shit.
so is it confirmed that daebi mama set fire to the building intending to kill the king , or she just wanted to burn the royal edict and he didn't move and allowed himself to stay there? because she seems distraught when they're taking the body out?
i wish they had actually developed kyungnam as a character better- we never see his extended pov, or moments where he's more than just one note... always same expressions and feelings
a lot of the 'real life' scenes were soooo filler and the dialogue really annoyed me.. they would ask each other 'what's wrong' and 'are you okay' llike 2000 times to each other in the course of just one episode
the last episode conflict was annoying imo yes its realistic to an extent- how people can treat each other when dating and they're annoyed w each other/ giving the silent or cold treatment but after fighting to be w her so much he was kind of being an ass wouldn't you be flattered that the girl you're in love with has made some guy who looks just like you lol
i was convinced the leads had no chemistry in the first half- thats because it really did come out of nowhere that the ML liked her, and these back story scenes did not convince me he was so in love with her latter half they kinda did but it left so much to be desired i just feel that their visuals aren't necessarily the best match in the sense that they don't complement each other's visuals perfectly enough for me
very fun and silly romcom but i really wish the execution had been done better as some other comments and reviews have mentioned, it would have been so interesting to more deeply explore the ethics of the technology, how it exactly works, why or why not its better than irl dating its not shown enough why something like this could be bad
on acting: jisoo was decent in snowdrop. i didn't watch newtopia. here it takes a couple episodes to get used to her and she's not bad in the comedic/embarrassing scenes, in fact she's kinda decent and she grows on you by the end of it. however she REALLY needs to work on showcasing a better emotional range- her crying scenes are borderline unwatchable. i feel like she could improve in the future
seo inguk: i know this guy can act, so whatever performance he gave as kyungnam had to be the directing and writing- so my gripe is moreso with how the character itself was written- very neutral and flat:?
supporting cast was good! i love the actress who plays jiyeon, loved her in trauma code- she's so pretty yet her expressions and comedic acting is simply excellent
but since areum reported to pm and he also leaked the contract thing... is it him? why would he hurt huiju though?
