The character of Yul is a perfect cut for D.O., it's as if the role was written for him. The comical nature, the coldness, and the hidden tsundere are very typical of him. 100 days my prince impressed me with its plot, the intrigue it carries and the uniqueness it ensures. Korean dramas around palace politics are always intriguing in their own unique way but 100 days my prince stands out with a cast very strong in their craft and a storyline that is not found yet. Amnesia, love, angst, pangs of unrequited love, and loss are all tied up into the wild mix of raging wars of succession and power inside the walls of Hanyang.

Even then there are missed spots and one of them was Nam Ji Hyun as the female lead. For me, her acting didn't cut for the role and felt incredibly shallow. Han So Hee shined more than her even though the subtotal of her screentime is far less than the lead. The side characters of the show are an incredible cast, each giving justice to their characters. From Kim Seon Ho to Jo Sung Ha, from friends to follies, each brings forward a masterclass in living their characters and making them into breathing ones.

Filled with major laughter scenes with the arsenal of villagers, it does not feel too dark even though it is. 100 days my prince brings to you a fresh take on palace politics in a light mix filled with fun, frolic, romance, and much more.
