A gem!

This Kdrama was an absolute gem! It had me in stitches with its humor, and I couldn't help but fall in love with the main characters. The blend of cuteness and comedy in the storyline is simply delightful, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for an entertaining series. I've rewatched it numerous times, and each watch brings back that same sense of enjoyment.

For those who appreciate healthy relationships in their dramas, you'll find a strong female lead here who not only stands up for herself but also adds a touch of playful charm to the story. The male lead, too, is endearing and lovable, making for a perfect on-screen pair. Set against a historical backdrop with elements of romance and action, this drama checks all the right boxes.

Now, about the initial deception by the female lead – it's crucial to note that her actions are motivated by a desire to help the king or the male lead and, at times, by a bit of jealousy. However, rest assured, all these aspects are addressed and resolved by the end of the series, leaving you with a heartwarming and happy conclusion.

While I thoroughly enjoyed the drama, I did feel like something was lacking at times, though it wasn't a major annoyance. One area that could have been improved was the ending for the supporting cast. It would have been fantastic to have more information and scenes depicting their future. Such insights into their lives would have added an extra layer of depth to the story and enhanced the overall experience.

I recommend you to give this Kdrama a try – it's an absolute must-watch that's well worth your time, and I'm confident you'll thoroughly enjoy it!

It's good.

(This review contains slight spoilers from episodes 1)

I've watched the first 6 episodes, and I'm really enjoying it so far. The beginning wasn't the best; it was a bit confusing and even made me angry at some points. Ak Hee (the evil spirit) erasing FL's memories didn't sit well with me, but I warmed up to the character later on. I hope there's an apology for his past behavior.

Distinguishing between the Crown Prince and the evil spirit can be challenging, but I'm slowly getting the hang of it and can now tell who is currently in control. The female lead is amazing and strong on her own. I love her character. The Crown Prince also has my appreciation; there was a brief moment in episodes 5 and 6 where he was a bit unlikable, but the issue was swiftly resolved, and I understood his actions.

The acting is outstanding! The male lead portrays both characters uniquely, making them similar yet distinct—it's truly amazing. The female lead's performance, especially in her fighting scenes, is impressive. Some might criticize the wigs, and while I agree that in some scenes, they aren't perfect, it's not something that bothers me.

The chemistry between the male and female leads is definitely there. So, I wholeheartedly recommend this drama. Give it a shot at least until episode 4, it significantly improves from there if the first 3 episodes didn't fully grab you. Personally, episode 5 stood out as my favorite. It showcased the charm of both Ak Hee and the Crown Prince, as well as the female lead's strong independence.


Edit: I dropped it because I got second lead Syndrom SO bad. Fl fell for original ml but I started liking Ak Hee more. They have more chemistry and more cuter scenes in the beginning. I’m sorry, I couldn’t continue watching after seeing him in pain.

It could've been so much

The concept is so good. A family full of secrets, you could say. Sadly, it was not well executed.

I forced myself to watch the first few episodes because it got so boring. It was only about the child (who is quite annoying tbh) having a crush on that boy and both the parents fighting. It got so confusing.

Also, the way the husband kind of "forced" his wife to sleep with him by telling her that she should do it because of the daughter is disgusting. Maybe I'm overreacting a bit, but it just made me so uncomfortable and I could not do this to myself.
