The East Palace Review: Top-Tier Acting That Will Make You Feel Everything
Okay, so I literally just finished watching The East Palace, which is a new dark fantasy drama on Netflix, and I have to talk about it! The storyline is honestly so good, but what really surprised me was the acting. It just hits different.
Here is why I am completely obsessed with it:
The Acting is Top-Tier đźŽ
* Cho Seung-woo (The King):Bro, his acting skills completely blew me away! He plays the King in this series. He is already one of my absolute favorites because I watched him in The King's Doctor (aka Horse Doctor) when I was little. He was also amazing in Stranger and Sisyphus: The Myth. Seeing him here just proved again how crazy good he is.
* Jang Young-nam (The Queen Dowager):The actress who plays the Queen Dowager—the King's stepmom—is insanely talented. It is wild because she is playing a character way older than her actual age, and she absolutely nails it.
* The Main Leads: Nam Joo-hyuk and Roh Yoon-seo are the main stars. They literally make you feel all of their heavy emotions right through the screen. And pretty good chemistry btwn these two.
Honestly, this whole drama felt like actual art to me. I don’t know why, but I have never felt this exact way while watching a K-drama before. The raw emotion and the vibe are just so unique.
TL;DR: If you want a drama with insanely good acting that will make you feel things on a whole new level, you need to watch this ASAP. 10/10 recommend!
