My Magic Prophecy - Already Intriguing!

If the first episode is any indication, this will be an exciting drama that I will look forward to watching every week!This new JimmySea drama even gave a nod to Last Twilight! Watch it and see if you recognize it. So far, I love everything about this drama. Also, the lead in Eccentric Romance has a role as an investigative officer. The actress who plays Thap's mother does an excellent job (as does the entire cast). The fear in her eyes, voice, and expressions when she thought that her son might be in mortal danger was very authentic and believable. It was nice to see First and Junior. There is an actor who plays a doctor, who I did not recognize, but whoever he is, he did a good job. Finally, Thap's sister is also good. Whenever I see so many actors doing their jobs this well, I know that I am going to be in for a treat! Sea was believable as always and it was so satisfying hearing Jimmy, who is a REAL doctor, use all that medical jargon!Can't wait for the next episode!

a dragging last episode

Sad to say I am not satisfied with this ending. There might‘ve been conclusions but also still waay too many loose strings. - Cool, we won the competition. yay. I do not really feel happy about that. It made the most sense but other than that. Eh. Since none of the contesants really get anything out of it just made this so… *sound of letting air out of a ballon*- We all (people in the series, definitely not me) have suddenly forgiven all the kings wrong doings? Sure, sure, sure.- In the fencing match I thought Ramil might purposely loose or forfeit to show he‘s no longer following his fathers orders. I would‘ve loved to see more about him and Paytai. Their conclusion was fine but left me with questions and wanting more.- Sad to see Ava just sitting there. She was my favourite to win the competition. - I totally forgot about Calvin and Jay. It felt really odd to have their conclusion in the midst of all the other things. At first I was like: ah yee, their story needs an ending…. but when it was happening I wished they didn‘t get one but instead a spinoff series. Because in this series they weren‘t relevant at all for the main plot. Their story would be worthy of its own series.- some scenes felt too long. The one where they leave the balcony felt weirdly long. And Khanin and Charans final kiss was definitely too long. Don‘t get me wrong I love a good kiss (& the kiss was good) but so long I wanted to tell them to get a room and walk away from the scene. I even watched on 1.25x speed and it was still too long.- Getting engaged? Really? That feels so soon. I have no idea how much time has passed. That engagement just felt like creating the grounds for a special episode in which they get married. Would love to see a royal emmalian wedding but grrrr I wished it would‘ve happened differently.

Phew

Phew, wow. Not only is this a pure filler episode, but the first 10 minutes are a cold-blooded repetition of previous episodes—unnecessary info or recycled edits. The format is blatantly taken from HP4 and The Hunger Games; I’m still waiting to see a fresh take on any of it.It’s either the stupid part (old people and CGI) or the running-archery segment (the babies). At least the babies look good—costumes and colors-wise: green and black. Unlike the ugly yellow "old clapping" segment.Well. Bravo.An infodump through and through. The final shots are embarrassing. (For one, you either ensure the king’s safety or act like a lovey-dovey gum wrapper stuck to your adoptive son—doing both just cancels each other out.)Oh, I almost forgot: the CGI is ugly. Sticking it on castle is a crime.Nice take on main leads and another crime - fake-suggested death.Phew.0/10P.S. Besides. Sort your priorities. U were more concerned about youur shot servant than shot princess heir. WE were supposed to freak out, NOT the actors.

last ep was garbage, I Jun couldn't stand…

last ep was garbage, I Jun couldn't stand up to Do Gyeong, knowing full-well he was manipulating him. but when he finally found his voice it was to push both his ex & Ha Ram away?!? going a step further & hurting Ha Ram by breaking off their dating arrangement. cause he's a coward that can't stand-up for himself & rather run away from his feelings?? **************************& after the way he treated Ha Ram, Ha Ram still running after him, caring for him, worrying about & supporting him... sorry but this unrealistic! there No one this magnanimous, where someone steps all over ur heart, disregards ur feelings & u still care for them as much as Ha Ram cared for I Jun at the end - yeah not buying it. just cause ur hurting it doesn't excuse u hurting others! so sorry but this was cute up until a point & I Jun for sure not worth all the trouble or of someone like Ha Ram. this was a one off & a never again!

Do Gyeong know exactly how to play I Jun,…

Do Gyeong know exactly how to play I Jun, who on his part (i get that getting ghosted like that) had so many unanswered questions... so he had to meet up with Do Gyeong, even if he knew he was just trying to "kiss & make-up" so he could get the project. *******************************************************************************************************************************but I Jun is more or less dating Ha Ram, he doesn't want to tell him that Do Gyeong is the ex, that broke his heart - i get it. but pushing him away & then getting mad at him is unfair. same with standing there like a mute moron, that can't defended himself & needs a knight in shining armor?!? when he had NO problem slapping & hitting Ha Ram, when he was trying to woo him aggressively at the start. call b.s on how this ep turned out - Ha Ram deserves better!
