Enjoyable for what it is, just know that going in
I kept my expectations low and was happy that way.
This is fluff nonsense. The same that keeps being pumped out on the regular every season. Which leaves you with a story that's instantly recognizable and unpredictable.
As you watch it, you'll know what comes next like one of those books read by kids that let you choose "if "A" happens then "D" will happen or if "B" happens then "C".
What it does well is set-up a been done storyline in a way that takes itself seriously enough without taking itself to seriously wit a tighter script than some other much-hyped pieces of the same genre.
Complaints:
The supporting cast acts circles around the main leads. Especially, the ML in the initial episodes as his plastic surgery may be the culprit and his face need bigger emotional expressions to translate....anything. This doesn't happy until the boy starts getting happy and that takes a while.
Annoying plant deities that aren't worth anything, when we already have another annoying tagalong in the "spirit" realm.
2nd leads father and all the opportunities he's given to cause havoc, even after escaping an automatic death sentence.
First time I've seen the Off to Lead a Battle march needing their horse to be guided by someone else.
A "kingdom" that's almost as low budget as the show. "Herbal Lord" seems to have too many job duties.
Pros:
Tight enough writing, that allows you to forgive its many shortcomings.
No long, overly drawn-out scenes of bad guys performing bad things, to then discuss the foiled plans of bad things.
ML smile
Plenty of kisses
How they work in the humor at the innocence of the FL without being icky. Though they forget she's not supposed to know about how such things are conducted towards the last episodes. This is one thing that stuck out for me.
Final:
This was the okayest waste of time I've had in a while. Could I watch it again? Maybe if between dramas or episode days for something else. Would I recommend to someone new to Cdramas? No.
The rating is for what it is, a good crappy drama, and that's okay.
