This story is eerily similar to Sungkyunkwan Scandal. It’s kind of the scatter-brained version of that drama. There’s something about this show that seems overdone. Everything kind of happens a bit fast and disjointedly. I’ve never had a problem with that before in previous Kdramas but in this one, it’s seriously obvious how the relationships don’t make that much sense. This show isn’t the greatest but the feelings were still intense even if they weren’t always portrayed right. It’s a very strange and not well thought out plotline. Ra On – female lead She's quite a rascally heroine. I liked that. And she's got the charisma to pull it off. I liked seeing her problem solving skills and how smart she was. Also, she was super tough. Really interesting to see that she doesn’t get a choice to be a girl. Also interesting to see that the most you see of boobies is when the girls are dressing up as boys. They don’t mind showing the binding. With Ra On, she’s very confident in herself. I like that she doesn’t back down. However, I’m sorry to say, the darling Ra On (Kim Joo Young), just doesn’t match up to Park Bo Gum’s emoting. He’s saying everything and her face is just not saying much at all. Prince Lee – main lead As a prince he is actually very intelligent. There is very little that gets past him. Even at his lowest and most emotional, no one can trick him. It’s Park Bo Gum. I know, I know, I myself get tired of the magic of this guy. But honestly, no matter what he does, he can’t do any wrong. So normally, I would dread this kind of personality, but it’s Park Bo Gum. So if he’s happy, I’m happy. Honestly, even his silly character, who I would hate under any under circumstances, he just makes me smile. I can’t believe this. The Park Bo Gum magic… I do have a complaint. His face is so dramatic. His emotions, they’re too much. I’ve actually only ever seen him in Hello Monster and there, he was this serious character and the understated emotions that Park Bo Gum conveyed was amazing. But here, where he’s allowed to let loose on the facial expressions, I’m finding it over the top. At the same time, I think that’s supposed to be his character. He is so seldom not putting on a show. In a way, Park Bo Gum is too good for this stereotypical character. His face is too kind when he shows concern. And when he’s being a jerk, it doesn’t feel real haha. But as always, I’m impressed by how alive his face is. I was fascinated by what his character is like when he’s in love. It’s very touching. Also Park Bo Gum always has such brilliant chemistry with his male compatriots. Romance I wasn’t always convinced by the romance but towards the end, I desperately wanted a happy ending and I was really rooting for the couple. Park Bo Gum is the one that really carries the value of this drama. His conveyance of emotion and scenarios makes me devote myself to the outcome. I didn’t think it was sad until Park Bo Gum showed me how sad he was. I really liked the interesting aspect of how it went from general comedy to something a bit darker and that question of betrayal in the romance and how the characters responded to it. “I’m frightened because I’m so happy. What if someone else’s happiness came to me as well?” I also realised that PBG has man hands. Not every male actor has those. Most of the time it’s hard to tell if it’s the woman’s or the man’s hand. “I will only listen to you. No matter what lie you tell. I will believe it.” Byung Yun I kind of rolled my eyes at his character at first, but I do always appreciate the stolid and silent best friend who is up to all sorts of night time activities. I was impressed by his loyalty but also sometimes conflicted by his secrecy. The fun thing is when the best friend finally finds someone who is brave enough to rile the hero so they can join in and let loose on their friend most carthartically. Jo’s Daughter Finally a secondary daughter who isn’t some idiot. She is smart and brave and I was impacted by her decision making.
