I totally get you. It's one of the worst dramas I've watched too.

I'm honestly tired of people rating a show highly just because the cast is attractive. Good-looking actors can't carry an entire drama. Nothing worked for me here: the acting felt robotic, the chemistry was nonexistent, and everything came across as bland and painfully boring. I kept waiting for something interesting to happen, but it never did.

a goat

Imo even the romance falls flat and is poorly executed.

c'est à dire vis à vis de quel drama? j'ai fait que 3 critiques en tout et pour 2 d'entre elle les drama sont complétés et je les ai tous visionnés.

peut-être fais tu allusion à my royal nemesis?

yes c moi

tu es dans sens critique aussi

don’t let the comments and reviewers fool you. This drama is far from perfect, but it’s nowhere near as bad as some people make it out to be. The hate is honestly a bit exaggerated. I wrote a pretty detailed review covering all the pros and cons, with ratings for the different aspects of the drama, so feel free to check it out if you want a more balanced opinion.

yeah me too

You're not alone on this one. I totally get your perspective. Feel free to check my latest review if you're interested I touched on a lot of the same issues.

POB has been a disappointment for me. I expected a serious political drama with tension and high stakes, but it feels much more like a light historical slice-of-life with a strong comedic focus. The pacing is very slow, the plot became predictable after episode 12, and many scenes feel unnecessarily stretched out. I also struggled with the characters, who often lack depth and don't really feel like people living in a royal court. The romance hasn't worked for me either due to the limited development and lack of chemistry between the leads. It often feels like the same conversations and interactions are repeated over and over without adding anything new to their relationship, which made their dynamic feel stagnant rather than evolving. My biggest issue is probably the marketing/tagging, as the drama feels far more like a comedy/slice-of-life than a political drama.i would rate it around 6.7/10.

don't waste your time. I dropped it at episode 20 because I just couldn’t do it anymore. The show started off engaging and like it was building up to something. Only for it to become a boring and repetitive slice-of-life comedy with sprinkles of political intrigue. I thought the leads’ chemistry would save it for me based on GIFs I saw on here, but seeing the actual moments happening on screen was underwhelming.

Imo, that's exactly what I've been saying + The acting is so over-the-top and exaggerated that it's hard to take seriously. People will still call you a "hater" for saying it though, so watch out the fanatics are probably coming for you next.... For me, this is the kind of drama you'd show to kids. At this point, the target audience seems more like 8–12 year olds. 🤷‍♀️

plus It's originally a webtoon adaptation, but a great director can make all the difference. They're the one who brings the story to life, and after watching so many dramas, you start recognizing certain directors' styles. Something felt familiar here, so I checked, and it turns out it was him. He's really good at this type of drama, and honestly, I think it might even be his favorite genre.

Yeah, what a combo haha, same director and same ML. That's pretty rare im so happy.

imo, I just realized the director is the same one who did "Juvenile Justice". That drama was a masterclass and is easily one of my all-time favorites. Plus, it has Kim Mu-yeol, who was also the ML in it. That's got me even more excited.

je comprends ton ressenti perso j'ai adoré l'alchimie et l'ambiance c vrm ça qui m'as maintenu , d'ailleurs c quoi ton avis sur we are all trying here ? perso je suis mitigée

Because I already posted my own review and my sister doesn't have an MDL account. MDL only allows one review per account. And honestly, basic courtesy costs nothing, no need to be so virulent about it.

I can already tell this is clearly adapted from a webtoon, and honestly, just from the poster alone, I can already see the chemistry between the leads. They look like a perfect match. I really didn't enjoy Boyfriend on Demand, so I'm actually looking forward to this one.
