Does this make you uncomfortable?
Taking a break from all my Chinese drama historical marathon/reviews to finally review this drama. This is probably Kyungsoo's first historical drama so I had to watch it. I was a fan of sageuk dramas before I enjoyed watching historical Chinese dramas.
STORY:
This is a story of a crown prince, Lee Yul (Do Kyungsoo) who is cold and perfectionist that doesn't really get along with everyone in the palace due to him opposing what they say and telling them what's on his mind. He is intelligent that even though he kind of is rude, the can navigate his way out of trouble by using his wits against them. People who didn't like him attempted to assassinate him and he survived (no surprise there). He then loses his memories and there he meets Hong Shim (Nam Ji Hyun). They met when a law was passed for all unmarried me and women should find their spouse or else will suffer the consequences. Fortunately since he lost his memory, Hong Shim concocted a plot to let Lee Yul marry her not knowing that he is the crown prince. With that they lived as husband and wife in their village which was hilarious. And as stories go, they fell for each other...of course. Since this is a historical drama, politics will once again play a role in the story. I liked the premise as well as the ending although I would've liked to see moments of them as an engaged or married couple.
ACTING/CAST:
I know how good Kyungsoo is so this isn't much of a surprise. Though it's funny that his character here appears to be close to his real personality. The drama is also well-casted and this was the first time I've seen Seun Ho in a drama and I could say that he's adorable and likeable. Nam Ji Hyun also is okay in this drama. This is the second drama I've seen her act.
MUSIC:
Unfortunately, I did not recall any OSTs of this drama so I can only review the music used as the background in the scenes and I guess it's okay.
REWATCH VALUE:
You can rewatch this if you like, you can also pass.
