Keep in mind that I will be discussing why I’m this close to dropping the series after finishing over half of the episodes. Spoilers will be included, only minor ones that I feel like one must know before starting the drama.

I usually love historical dramas and I don’t mind the cliche storylines and such. This drama was filled with just that, as most historical romance dramas are. I loved this one, keyword loved. Just finished episode 13, where the ML, the crown prince, becomes king. Sounds normal, but I have to disagree. Unlike other dramas, this one took a turn midway through the series and the writers decided that they wanted the whole plot to change. The series went from a lighthearted historical romance to watching two people engage in a frustrating relationship and the plotline took on a more depressing undertone.

To be straightforward, I don’t like what the crown prince’s character turned into. If you’re watching for the ML, I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t like this one unless you’re into guys full of red flags. In the first half of the drama, the crown prince was fine. Red flags here and there but as someone that chose to watch for the eye candy, I ignored it. Starting around episode 12 or 13, the crown prince started pushing himself (quite literally, as he was drunk ;-;) onto the FML as she wasn’t accepting his advances; it bothered me alot as her character looked visibly uncomfortable but couldn’t resist as she is just a mere court lady. Some may consider me sensitive, but I know many others are like me. I’m considering dropping the drama altogether if this continues ;-; I’m a fan of the ML and I don’t really want to see him playing a character that makes me feel this uncomfortable.. I also noticed how the FML stopped smiling as much which bothered me and made watching ep 13 almost unbearable.

I just wanted to give people a heads up on what type of drama they’re starting. My review was short and doesn’t cover much, I know. I wrote this at 3am bc I was so frustrated at the more recent eps lmfao
