Skipped like half of the series
If you come because of DO, go and watch it now!Now onto my review, I watched it because True Beauty needs a Viki Pass so I wanted a romance series ASAP, and I wasn't disappointed at all. But I spent skipping half of the series, I didn't really enjoy the parts that involved the king, queen, crown princess and the left state councillor because, for me, they were so boring and slow!! I could handle their parts until ep 4 and when in ep 14 I actually decided to watch the entire episodes (because the series was about to end) I realized that I didn't miss that much (huh kinda weird don't you think so?). Nevertheless, I really liked the parts of Won Duk, Hong Sim and pretty much all the things that happened in Songju, they were the opposite of what happened at the palace: fast and exciting. So episodes 11, 12 and 13 were kind of a waste of time (I think I skipped like 75% of each episode tho).
The cast was great, I didn't really know much about DO but he definitely made me fangirl so hard (I guess it's time to stan EXO and not only listen to their songs) Ji-hyun was also great, I've always liked the way she acts. I just have 1 problem: the CHEMISTRY between the leads, their acting was great but I felt nothing when they kissed or had romantic scenes (ofc I was happy for the characters but still) that kinda messed up the experience.
I wouldn't watch it again, it's a likeable series in some ways but not as much to give it a second watch (and even less considering I would just be skipping many things).
To end my review I will say: The soundtrack was PERFECTION, I loved all the songs! (I guess they are really my style).

Now for a more detailed review:
This drama feels dated in the sense that it follows a lot of the common tropes of kdramas which was pretty standard in 2018. I'm not saying it's completely unoriginal but it does fall into that simple kdrama plot. It doesn't tackle a lot of issues and is very straightforward. Don't misunderstand, I am not saying that the drama is boring. Although the end or outcomes are predictable, it still gave a lot of misdirects and suspense through the process.
I still enjoyed it a lot because everyone in the cast bring so much to the drama from out main leads down to the least significant random palace server, book vendor, or small-shot scammer. They all give so much life to their characters and I think it is also because all the characters, down to the smallest roles, were written with care. The chemistry within the cast (not just the main leads) was very convincing.
I can definitely see myself rewatch this drama because it has a lot of clever lines. The comedic timing of the actors in this drama are great.

[#25BANPO_ARTIGO]
Vamos lá ver uma coisa: comecei a ver este drama porquê?1º - sageuk (drama histórico);
2º - (confesso) DO, de EXO.
À primeira, a trama parece simples: Lee Yull (interpretado por DO/ Kyungsoo) é o príncipe herdeiro de Joseon. Parece frio, perfeccionista e distante; no entanto é apenas solitário e carrega consigo um enorme sentimento de culpa. Ele não era para ser príncipe, e muito menos rei (Jo Han Chul), mas agora vê-se forçado a cumprir esse destino, devido ao golpe que o seu pai orquestrou para tomar o poder.
No entanto, o drama propriamente dito começa quando, perante uma enorme seca que o país estava a enfrentar, e depois de vários rituais cumpridos e sem qualquer resultado, o rei se vê forçado a decretar uma ordem de casamento para todos os jovens do reino (antes de atingirem os 28 anos de idade).
Entretanto, numa aldeia distante, Hong Shim (Nam Ji Hyun), uma mulher independente e super inteligente (mas a rapariga solteira mais velha da aldeia) vê-se então forçada pelos oficiais a casar-se com um desconhecido, que acabava de ter sido resgatado pelo seu pai adoptivo, Yoon (Jung Hae Kyun). E quem era esse homem desconhecido? Nada mais, nada menos que o próprio príncipe herdeiro.
Certamente agora vocês se estão a perguntar como é que o príncipe (que já era casado) foi ali parar. Pois bem, lembram-se do golpe dado pelo rei? Esse golpe foi, na verdade, orquestrado pelo ministro Kim Cha Eon (Jo Sung Ha), que na altura se aproveitou da ganância e posição do antigo príncipe, para tomar conta do trono. Assim, esse ministro não só ficou como braço direito do rei, como também é sogro do príncipe e, por via de chantagens sobre esse passado, acabou por governar através do rei. E foi durante esta seca e crise económica que o reino estava a atravessar que o ministro viu a sua oportunidade de matar o príncipe herdeiro, reforçar o seu poder na casa real e, mais tarde, colocar o seu neto (ainda por nascer) no trono.
Depois dessa tentativa de assassinato, Lee Yul sobrevive mas desenvolve amnésia temporária. É neste momento que o pai de Hong Shim o encontra, o salva e pede para ele salvar a sua filha do castigo, porque ela não tinha ninguém com quem casar e cumprir assim a ordem do rei.
O que se segue é a história de amor de Hong Shim e Lee Yul, e a sua jornada de cem dias como aldeão até à recuperação da sua memória.
Dito isto, parece tudo tão leve, mas a verdade é que pelo meio vemos um desenrolar cruel de gente que não olha a meios para alcançar o seu fim; questionamos também sobre a paternidade do neto do ministro; mudamos mil vezes de opinião sobre os supostos vilões da história; e descobrimos que afinal a aldeã Hong Shim não é um ser de passado simples, e que esconde uma história triste com a morte do seu verdadeiro pai, desaparecimento do seu irmão, e de um amor de infância perdido.
Não é daqueles dramas que vá rever tão cedo, mas entende-se bem o porquê de ser o quinto drama com mais audiência na TV por cabo: é ideal para quem procura um sageuk, romance, muito humor e um enredo cheio de voltas e reviravoltas.

A great romance with a good looking male lead! What's not to like!
Ok the most hilarious part of the plot ???? is that the story is about how D.O. hates being a farmer lol and all D.O. actually wants in real life is to be a farmer ^_^Anyway on to the review!
D.O. is a perfect mix of handsome and cute, I can't get enough of him! Comedy, emotion, romance, this one has it all. There's also some very emotional moments but on the whole this one is low angst and gets more angsty toward the end. The acting was pretty good throughout and I loved that they showed the female lead initiating contact in several instances without getting clingy.
The story is about two people, Crown Prince of Joseon Lee Yeol (D.O.) and Hong Shim (Nam Ji hyun), a commoner who only has a foster father and no real family. These two have an ill-fated love and who, through various circumstances end up being married to one another. The crown prince is constantly warding off assassination attempts at his life and during one such attempt ends up losing his memory. Ok look I am an "EXO fangirl' and I couldn't stop raving about Rich Man Poor Woman and I have seen Exo next door, busted, Seondal, and Choco Bank (Kai) a million times. But when I review I will always try to be objective. So even if I watch something a million times because D.O. is in it, I will try to review objectively.
So this drama it was so fun and entertaining and like I said Do Kyungsoo looks so handsome! I was in love with his stern "oho" lol that was so funny!!! Honestly, this role is the perfect fit for him. It was really painful to watch him struggle in the peasant life ugh it gave me so much anxiety ^_^ I just wanted someone to make him remember again! And also, the brother and sister storyline omg that was so well done! My heart wept for them truly. And also for DO when his father the king is suffering the wrath of the villain and unable to help his own son when he was lying hurt and miserable in some peasants cottage.
And ok the exceptional OST!!! There's really no words to describe how amazing that OST is you just have to get it and you'll be listening to it a million times.
Anyway, so if you're looking for a romance with low angst and a handsome lead and music that will blow you away, watch this drama!

100 Days Husband is basically Shopping King Louie but set in Joseon Time period.A rich young man who has memories of the female lead whether he remebers them or not, loses all of his memory and gets lost, the female lead finds him.
Now, that he has lost all of his memory and has no memory of where he lives or who he is, the female lead and him are forced into living together. At first, the man useless and buys items that cause the woman to go into debt because he has no money of his own.
The female lead forces the male lead to get a job, but, the male lead is found to be very bad at that job, until they find out what he is really good at and he regains his memory. For a time the female and male lead live apart since, the male lead was found by his family and regained his memory, but later on, the male lead goes back to get the female lead and they live happily ever after the end.
Also, to make it more confusing the female lead in these two kdramas are played by the same actress Nam Ji-hyun.
But, 100 Days Husband is a better kdrama because it fixes the problems that I had with Shopping King Louie.
Politics added to the drama and made it less boring to watch and kept my interest even when the main couple had to be separated for a time. I found that the characters in 100 Days Husband felt more like real people who were going through real struggles.
For the casting/acting, D.O. and Nam Ji-hyun had great chemistry and really I could not imagine anyone else doing their characters as well as they did in the story.
The music in this Kdrama fit along with the storyline and tone and helped bring a certain atomsphere to the show. Kim Jongdae sings an OST for this drama and that is not the only song that is awesome in this drama.
The rewatch value for this drama is high as all the parts of this kdrama feel needful and add depth to the characters in the story.

Um sageuk fofo
Segundo dorama que assisti com o D.O, caraa ele arrasa demais, ele no papel desse príncipe foi muito bom de se ver.É um sageuk (histórico) que me surpreendeu, é divertido, fofo e com até poucos momentos tristes.
O Príncipe Herdeiro é lindo, com ótimas habilidades com o arco e flecha, espada e na literatura. Mas após a morte de sua mãe ele se tornou triste, deprimido e nunca sorri, além de ter começado a ser perseguido dentro do palácio.
Yeon Hong Shim ela é uma personagem divertida, inteligente e criativa. Eu gostei muito de ver sua história de vida, de como ela era guerreira, e de como ela era ao lado do pessoal da aldeia.
O Jung Je Yoon é charmoso inteligente e dono de um sorriso cativante (que eu queria poder chamar de meu 🤭🤭) que veio pra completar o triângulo amoroso e trazer mais emoção.
E com relação ao casal eu amei ver todo o desenvolvimento deles, do sentimento que foi surgindo, e do príncipe se adaptando durante esses 100 dias.
Claro que como sempre tem os vilões que dá vontade de matar né, e nesse não foi diferente o Governador Kim Cha Eon era de dar nos nervos, até a própria família ele prejudicava.
E o final? Bem...o final como um todo é bom, vale a pena mas ficou meio fraco, por mais fofo que fosse todo o último episódio, não fazia jus ao que os últimos quinze episódios do drama haviam oferecido, mas isso não fez o drama ficar ruim.

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.

AT ANG CUTE NYA MAGSELOS ???? jusmiooooo ❤

It's nothing you haven't seen, with all the classic tropes you've seen in every historical drama ever. The only thing that's new is D.O (Do Kyung Soo). Although his character was fairly one dimensional, he does have his moments. Some of my favourite lines:
*fireworks go off in the sky during the festival*
"There goes the taxpayer's money"
"I'm already aware you fell for my thighs, tell me something else"
"You mean to say I'm completely BROKE?"
He's a manchild, but I love him. Even D.O himself said how hopeless his amnesiac character is at the beginning
Interviewer: What kind of housework does Won Deuk do in the drama?
D.O: He can't do such things
Interviewer: Not at all?
D.O: No, not at all. Won Deuk is useless.
Lmao XD
I don't feel like going into details of the plot, characters or romance because it could all be described as average and generic tbh. Not necessarily a bad thing! Predictable doesn't always mean bad. After all, this drama does have a lot of enjoyable moments. However you shouldn't go into it with expectations it will knock your socks off either.
You should also be prepared for long episodes and for the final episodes to drag on forever (why didn't they just get rid of the villain 6 episodes ago!! what is the point in keeping him alive, 'he must live and suffer through his days' forget that bs just kill him)
Overall though, this drama wasn't too bad (if you're not sick of the amnesia trope yet lol)

Brilliant period drama
This was my first intro to a historic/period kdrama and wow what a series.100 days is the story about a prince who loses his memory and lives as a common person, marrying a local girl to save her from a degree that he himself put in place to make all single people get married - due to being pressured to have a baby by the king. I wont spoil it as it's something that I strongly encourage you to watch,
The prince is played by Do Kyung Soo (D.O. from EXO for kpop fans) - he's brilliant and plays his role as an amnesiac who thinks he's better than everyone, not knowing he used to be the crown prince.
Nam Ji Hyun plays the female lead - she's tough, independent and has a connection to the prince that she doesn't realise.
Start-Up fans will love the fact that the good boy himself, Kim Seon Ho (#TeamJiPyeung fo life) is in this drama - he has a crush on Nam Ji Hyun and their stories intertwine.
The villain is truly evil and really brings this story to life. You guenuinly fear him,
The soundtrack is glorious and so fitting to the period. It's also filmed beautifully. Chen from EXO did an OST for this show and it's beautiful.
100 Days my Prince opened the door for me to give period dramas a go - since finishing this I watched and loved Mr Sunshine and now Mr Queen.
If you haven't watched this, I hope you give this drama a go - it's brilliant!
