I've just finished the marathon of this series, back to back for two days straigjt. The show was great, interesting. One of the downside of this series is Nam Ji Hyun's acting. I've watched some of her dramas before and idont feel that her acting shines in this drama. Her acting look a bit stiff if i could put it tht way, especially in sad/crying scenes . but Do Kying Soo's acting really blew my mind. It was impactful and memorable. Amidst watching, i kept comparing Nam Ji Hyun with other actress who have played similar lead characters like Kim Yoo Jung and others and kept thinking how it would be if the character was played by other actress.

Anyway, the story is entertaining and i like it a lot. The ending could have been better though. I meam, i really hate the whole extended drama of Hong Shim refusing to be with The Prince because of her concern of burdening the Crown Prince yada yasa. I would prefer to see her in the end confess about how she couldn't live without him too and how she love him too. I mean, the first rejection is okay, but i was expecting a sweeter reunion after their parting when they both realised they cannot live without one another.
but then again, it is a happy ending anyway so i can be okay with it.

The comedy bits are working to tone down the seriousness and conflicts in the plots. i especially enjoy Won Deuk 's funny antics as arrogant amnesiac man.

I honestly just came here to see if anybody else think the same way that Cha Eun Woo is a terrible actor. He was so bad i couldn't enjoy the show even when i want to Throughout the drama i kept thinking how good the premise was, and how it could be a whole lot better with a new actor (and actress, i have a hard time accepting Im Soo Hyang to be a junior in University too). In certain scenes, i kept imagining if other actors i knew acted out the scene, how heart fluttering and impactful it would be)

The show could be better but in lots of the scene you fail to feel the sadness becaise of the male lead

Im sorry he is a kind soul and his look is no joke, but his acting is way too awful. Overall, the story is quite okay. And it brings a good message too
