Pleasant and watchable, there are strong echoes of Moon Embracing the Sun with a nod to What's Wrong with Secretary Kim?
The story is similar to Moon Embracing the Sun -- they meet as kids, but life gets in the way. This story is more linear, but I wish it felt fresher.
As a man with no memory, Won Deuk is out of place, much like the main character in Secretary Kim. This time, instead of being hilariously vain and out of touch, he's rude and superficial so it's not as fun and a bit of a turnoff.
I am glad that the scheming, shrill ladies of the court was kept to a minimum. That's one trope that I am glad they skipped.
Overall, it's enjoyable, but doesn't quite reach top tier for me since it feels a bit familiar.
