Its a standard romantic comedy and doesn't stand out. This doesn't make it a terrible show just one kdrama fans have seen before
Acting/Cast:
The actors and characters are all amazing. Each character is intriguing and the actors portrayed them well. My favorite was Kim Soo, his story was very compelling and the actor Seo Jihoon does a great job
Music/ OST:
Amazing! Brilliant! The best part of the whole show! I saved the how soundtrack as soon as I finished the show. Even if you don't watch the show listen to the soundtrack is so beautiful
Overall:
I thought I'd have more to say, but really its not a terrible show nor the best.

Kim Min Jae was a great actor for me, but I guess this drama quite underestimated his skills. His acting used to be emotionally moving, but I wasn’t moved in this drama at all. The character suited him anyway, however, I wish someday, he’ll have a warrior role – just something to show a different side of him.
I remembered Gong Seung Yeon more in Six Flying Dragons. Her feminine and delicate role suited her perfectly. However in this drama, she showed a different side of her. I didn’t expect that she can take a character that is totally opposite to what she has in Six Flying Dragons, and still can act it wonderfully. She was very beautiful, still, her beauty is more noticeable when she’s feminine and finesse.
I pity the king (Seo Ji Hoon) the most. My heart broke for him the most.
Though it didn’t end happily for everyone, but I’m glad that everyone was satisfied with what they have. The ending is good and hopeful.

Cute Storyline
I actually liked the storyline. The actors and actresses made this story cute. Two handsome leads MinJae and WooSeok did show they can play in a romantic crazy story. I researched MinJae and I'm impressed with his dancing he is known as a rapper in Korea's music industry. I will be watching more of the artistry of MinJae for sure. I love the actress Gong Seung Yeon who grabs the strong women roles. I have seen her in other roles and she becomes who she is playing.Others who view this drama, please don't hate.

Flowers Over Boys
What might have seemed an interesting premise on the surface turned out to be the farthest thing from that, it crashed and burned in flames. The cast? They might as well have been cardboard cutouts. Pretty faces without a soul. Do Joon gave nothing but extremely uncomfortable creepy vibes made my skin crawl! The characters were like shape-shifters, their motivations changing faster than the weather. I couldn't latch onto them or the storyline. The drama also featured one of the worst love triangles with the highlight being the abomination of this female lead character.Cet avis était-il utile?

it wasn't bad but it wasn't great either.
The name of the movie and the story line is well put together and well executed as plan from a business stand point.As for the drama, romance, passion love. heartache, reconciliation,
that most drama fanatics love to watch. It wasn't there, most people including myself watch drama to dissappear from reality and enter the world of romance wonderland lol ?
Well Sh## this drama failed to deliver.
the Dopamine drama lovers get addicted to just wasnt there.
The connection just wasnt there between the Ml and Fl.
The production crew had the spark between the king and the fl. boy that king ml can act. i don't even remember his name but i remember his character and passion.
The romance between ML and FL felt force upon us the love music would always play when they got close and they would always get a slow motion romance moment.
As for the Sml (King) and FL we didn't get much of that, even tho there chemistry was much more believable.
No wonder there is little to no trace of this drama on Instagram tags.
The King had a passion of No Sh## given when it comes to his girl so I was surprised to see they wrote him into a weak character , where he Yield and grant his woman to the matchmaker. ( unbelievable moment)
The Female lead should have become Queen am sure she would fall in love again with the king as she did before.
Being Quuen she would now have the time to bond and build back the relationship as that's now the Ml was able to steal her attention away from the SML. She basically was living with him and am 1000% sure her love language is acts of service.
I know they try to impose upon our brain that the female lead only agree to marry the sml who later became king because of abandonment issue, but you can't fake chemistry so I ain't buying thst ploy.
The FL was a independent, proud a fierce character so selling the fact that she wanted to get married to the SMl due to not wanting to be alone was a failure.
Well the end was a happy ending for who wanted the ML and the FML to end up together.
But the drama lovers and romantics know otherwise who should have ended up together. ❤️

One of my favourite Kim min jae works
To be honest I started this drama seeing Kim min Jae in the cover. No hesitation I started watching expecting not the best but I would get through it for him. However this drama had me hooked. Finished it in four days, each episode with aspects that weren’t boring and cliche. Yoong soo’s storyline for example was a twist I didn’t expect but was riveted watching, and min jaes’s scene crying for his father nearly broke my heart. The cast in this drama acted phenomenally with one of the best minor storylines I’ve watched to date. 9.5 starsCet avis était-il utile?

Decent
The only reason why I gave it a high rating is because it has a lot of slice of life, comedy, and emotional moments. Otherwise, there are a lot of plot holes like the Minister rebelling for a prince who is never shown in the drama [Prince Yeonwoo] and the whole father-son dynamics, like they really need to sit down properly and talk instead of blaming. The romance aspect was very intriguing and it keeps you wondering how it will end till the very end. Both ML and FL are shown to be capable and smart which is pretty rare in drama where one [usually FL] is totally oblivious or dumb. even while knowing everything. I felt sad for the king as his love for FL was sincere and he never actually got have autonomy until the very end but ML and FL deserve one another as they genuinely fall in love over time. Other characters had their own version of a tragedy which was mess up because it feels like the plot was all over the place.Cet avis était-il utile?
The lead guy, Ma Hoon, was seriously a breathe of fresh air. He knows what's up and is seriously doing something about it.
GaeTong? She didn't appeal to me at first, but I began to admire her as time goes by. People rant about how the love triangle here is not strong enough and the love story was predictable. But yeah... it is. Because we have a female lead who fucking knows what she wants and who she loves. No wishy washy I can't make up my mind between these two hot guys.
The King, Soo, was a dear. I love him at first sight. I like him less when he became a king but that is just because, Ma Hoon, manage to save me from the second lead syndrome.
The second love team, Joon and Ji Hwa, crept their way into my heart that by the end of the series, I'm shipping them more than the main love team.
YoongSo was the only one who is a head ache on this series. And I dont even mean that in a bad way. This guy is adorable stupid for his choices but he had his reason so you'll have to forgive him for that.
Anyway, the plot wasn't strong but the characters individually will make their mark. It was an enjoyable watch.

Lee Soo fan
I never write any review before. Sorry for bad english.SPOILER ALERT.
I think the story was fine until they kill King's friend, Se-Ah. Since Gaeddong and Hoon will end up together, it would be better if Soo character have that maid as queen, or (if that was impossible) at least keep her alive to be Soo's friend. Soo never wanted to be a King. After be a King, he lost many thing, including his freedom and the most painful is he lost the only girl he loved. I know he become selfish later, but still he regret it and give up on Gaeddong. So, I really wish for his happiness in the end of this drama, but it's not happened. In the end, Soo decided to be single, but I don't think he is happy. Even his eunuch said he looked gloomy, sad and not agile like before. That's why, I hope the writer keep the maid alive, at least she can make the King smile and not feel so lonely in palace. I feel sad for Soo character, and make me can't really enjoy this drama. I don't want to rewatch it, that's why I give low score. If it's possible, I really wish for second season for Soo character where he finds love with another girl and have a happy ending.

I really liked this show but I was disappointed by the ending. In the end Gaettong picked Hun which is obvious because he’s the male lead but I think the story would of been better had she picked Su. It just made me dislike her character because she just completely forgot about everything he had done for her and immediately fell in love with another man when she had been ready to marry Su. And although Hun said he wouldn’t interfere, he seemed to do a lot of things that would make Gaettong fall in love with him more. And in the end they didn’t even give Su the justice of him falling in love with another woman, he’s just left alone and will probably marry a Queen he doesn’t love for political reasons. There was just so many moments that were supposed to be romantic moments between Gaettong and Hun but it was hard to find it romantic when Gaettong is just abandoning Su. In conclusion: I think the show would of been better with Su as the male lead and the plot be like how the Netflix description described it. Other than that, I really enjoyed everything else about the show and thought it had a good mixture of comedy, romance, and serious moments. I found myself excitingly anticipating each episode and put off watching the last episode because I was too scared to finish it and for it all to be over. Usually I lose interest in kdramas half way through but this one held my attention throughout the whole show.

Enjoyable
So whilst this wouldn't win any awards, it mixes comedy with drama and I didn't greatly dislike anything about it.The cast are very good and the story, whilst bending what's anything near plausible at times, is still a decent watch.
If accepted for what it is, a piece of light entertainment, with romance, silliness, surprise guest roles, lots of clichés and some mild threat, then it really can be enjoyed.
I did feel the King was a little hard done by, but it was neatly tied up at the end. Really not that bad a watch.

Chaotic and confused
The show felt like the scriptwriter started with a clear concept and then changed her mind midway through. So the show became more and more chaotic and confused. The backstories of the protagonists only made it worse. Apparently, the scriptwriter completely lost the story.Not to mention all the illogical stuff! For example, when Gae Dong starts her training to become a noblewoman, she can't eat with chopsticks. A few episodes later, Kim Soo takes her to her old house and says, "This is where we ate in the past, look, there are still YOUR chopsticks!"
It was all too much, from the look of the boys to the loud and over-the-top acting of Gong Seung Yeon.
I was looking forward to the show, bravely held out until the end, but unfortunately can't recommend it.
