i really really loved this drama it gave me drama fever for 4 days straight the plot and story fit together perfectly but i think the drama needed more than 20 episodes to express the true means of it. i also have to be completely honest i really don't think that gong seung yeon really portrayed the character song soo jung that well she didn't seem to have that bad rich girl feel i expected but lee jong hyun did ondal perfectly he espressed how money was just a hobby to get over his mother that was sold to people

i really didn't pay attendion to the music but hey the drama is called my only love song so yeah there should be good music am i right?.

princess pyung gang and moo myung were a couple you could tell from a start that they were going to fall in love as moo myung had great care and loyalty for her and he would always do what she said but from the start moo myung fell for her first but he couldn't understand his feelings for her which left the romance complicated but over alll

this drama was GOOD THANKS FOR READING MY REVIEW

This drama deals with the taboo of not only age gap and forbidden love but also with having a relationship with a minor. I won't review this drama based on my own views on the matter, as it didn't glorify it, but just presented the story and the tragedy of their love. So, emotion wise, this one was strong at that area. Especially at the begining, however, it got boring towards the end and the pace slowed down as well. I also enjoyed the presentation of the how everyone else viewed their choices as well as the emotional struggles the two leads had to deal with. In addition, the performances were really good and the cinematography on point for this drama.

I thought this drama was overrated at first, but when I watched it, I realized why there was a lot of hype. Standing alone, this drama was really good, but if I compare it to other dramas I've watched, I wouldn't say it was AMAZING. But focusing on this one, I really loved the storyline, like imagine waking up in North Korea and falling in love with one of the soldiers. It's a wild ride HAHAH. I actually really loved the second lead couple and I was so sad when Gu Chan Seong...ya know :< Captain Ri's aegyo was HILARIOUS and that Pil Soo guy really brought the comedy in this drama.

The fairytale of fairytales...

*minor spoilers*

I really wanted to give this drama an 8 but the more I thought about it, the more I realized that this drama had noticeable flaws and maybe that's because the Reply (kdrama) series that it resembles, did so well.

The biggest detriment for me was that this presented as the fairytale of all fairytales and for me being older, wiser and more jaded, know that these situations aren't always going to come up smelling roses. There are inevitable struggles in life, unexpected hurdles that everyone has to face and in this, there weren't any big challenges. Everything just happened, quite quickly. Time changes didn't do anything except give secondary characters less screentime. I wished they did more with them because it became apparent that no one else had a story other than the main leads.

And I compare it to the Reply series because they tackled the issues of growing up head on, they didn't sugarcoat anything. Reality set in and in WIFTY, it never happpened, the fairytale just continued. It never came back down.

But if you want a nice, easy to follow, no worries drama to watch. This is perfect. But if you want something more realistic and a bit funnier, the Reply series is the way to go.

7.5/10

I loved it!

This was a very fun and entertaining journey.

First of all Up (Put) is so gorgeous I would not have been mad if they ended up together. Obviously they don't because duh, but I didn't mind that pit stop in the show.

The music and double/triple takes on a scene wasn't my favorite. I'm learning many actors are not good with crying scenes. Maybe try eye drops or gosh even mist them with water idk lmao.

I feel some parts of the plot still need closure in the end (I'm looking at you Jen and Jaab), but also what happens with the company and the dad? What about the best friend that just slowly disappears. For a 2 hour finale I feel like all the loose ends should've been tied up.

but alas, I did love this show. Pat's story was an enjoyable experience, there was great character development. Definitely worth the watch!

Spoiler!!
It is wrong to say that i feel what the lead male doing is right? I mean they deserved it... Even the lead female judge him before know him.... And i think that he really a good person..nice person from the start even i get a little confius... he just always being misunderstand..and being misunderstand or being blame or always being tabs on is really hard.... Always have to do what other ask..always need to wear smile on face... It really hard.. Even the 2 lead actor misunderstood him for a long time... And he was his bestfriend who tabs on him.. I can see why he think everyone is the same...and he doest do anything to other... He just tell something and they make their choose.... It their fault but always blame other.... Take advantage of other.... Think like other people doest have feeling...

Firstly I had zero expectations and bias going into it. From the promotions it was portrayed as very dark and sexy but it soon became much brighter and romantic which is what made some viewers disappointed and led to their bad reviews. I'm not sure why else anyone would rated it lower than 5/10 even if it's not their style. There's nothing particularly bad about it. I recommend watching it if you love romance since if you are in it for the intrigue then you will get bored quickly. To me this drama's like those old romance chaebol ones but the female lead isn't annoying and people are more realistic. I think Lovely's review was really accurate and she already put my thoughts into words.

In essence it's about crazy rich people playing crazy rich people games. However it's a lot more romance focused than I expected. I feel like they could've done more crazy games since that's what it was advertised as and was what made it unique. But keep in mind this is a Korean drama adaption. So it's more innocent than how the book probably is. Although it's lacking in crazy future mother-in-laws, it's got all the crazy twists, turns and links of rich people in old Korean dramas. While it does have a strong focus on family and friend relationships it's done in a different feel to most Korean dramas. Most importantly it's got what I love about Korean dramas and that's character development. More than any real plot or story it's a slow unfolding of the characters and how they change and grow.

The acting was pretty good, especially considering the main cast are all young, rookie actors. I already knew Kim Min-jae is good. Joy's improved since her last drama, she had no faults in this one so I'm not sure what the complaints are about. I'd never heard or seen Woo Do-hyun before but he was a really good surprise. He outshined Kim Min-jae and I'm looking forward to his future works. Moon Ga-young was the weakest out of the four main leads for me. Her stare was too blank sometimes but it's hard to play a 2D angsty tantrum thrower for long periods of time. I won't go into the supporting cast but they were mostly fine. Rather than the acting the characters and script were a bit weak, especially outside the main leads, but not so much that it deserves such low ratings.

I'm not sure why people didn't like Eun Tae-hee, Joy's acting or Woo Do-hyun's acting. Eun Tae-hee was less annoying than 95% of Korean drama female leads in my opinion. She was independent, believed in herself, those around her, and in her decisions. If we are going to talk about annoying characters I would name tantrum-throwing, self-centred Choi Soo-ji who lives in a woe-is-me world. Also it's been a while since I squealed at the cuteness of a couple, they were utterly adorable, romantic, and probably in the top 5 couples I've shipped in recent years. I've found my couple squealing to be stale of late so it's quite impressive.

Overall it was very angsty, somewhat sweet, and I love the main couple. They were really cute and mature in the handling of their relationship. I was strongly rooting for them the whole time. The script and direction could've been developed more to make it a better drama. It wasn't plot driven either so I understand some people find that boring and the angst frustrating. Another thing to note is I skip parts of dramas all the time, usually the old crazy people parts, and this drama wasn't an exception to that. It wasn't perfect but what was good was great and I don't believe it deserves the negative criticism it seems to be receiving. Especially the amount of criticism on the main cast which was the best aspect.

I loved the first part when they were young and the Prince admired Ruyi but then when they got married all the chaos started with consort this and that, concubines this and that. They conspired against each other to take one or the other out. The reason why I gave the cast a 10 rating is that they did their part in bringing that time to the audience. Wallace Huo did awesome in the role he portrayed. I cried in the two last episodes when Ruyi passed away. The costumes were beautiful but I still can't get used to those hairstyles in that era including the European hairstyles. The jewelry was exquisite as always. Thank you to the Costume team! Thank you to the cast, producers, visual, artistry, and the music team.

NOTE: Even in the present day, when a man has one wife with added lovers, it never works out well. Somebody's feelings are going to be hurt. That is regarding any culture!
