Nothing new under the sun
A saying goes “there’s nothing new under the sun” and sadly this is the case with the korean drama Let Me Be Your Knight.
It’s not that it’s a bad drama, it’s simply too predictable and cliché ridden, bringing nothing new to the genre or stories surrounding a candy heroine and a group of haughty musicians in desperate need to learn how to be a real band.
The chemistry between Tae-in and Yoon-ju, the two leads, was decent enough and the development of their feelings was coherent, but it lacked the factor that makes you want to cheer for them at all times. I found myself more than okay if they didn’t end up together.
The rest of the characters are charming, quirky, annoying and cute enough for me to not be bothered. I found Shin’s storyline with the actress the most compelling, but it conclude in a lukewarm way. Basically destroying everything that happened before.
I suppose my biggest issue is the script. It honestly feels like the screenwriter wanted to add all the storylines and formulas we have seen before because they didn’t know what this drama is actually about or where they were going with the characters.
Let Me Be Your Knight is a simple and stress free drama. The acting is decent enough to enjoy as a binge-watch over a weekend, if you have nothing else to do.
