Actors were great, scipt was good, plot was okay. Honestly, it just lacks complexity for me.
After watching Alchemy of Souls... my heart was still yearning for a good drama... and since I heard a lot of good feedback about this drama I thought this was the drama that would cure my yearning heart...
Honestly the drama was okay... The actors were great. I never expected KHS to be your stereotypical kdrama queen (reserved, soft spoken,etc.) since her personality is really far from that but she was able to pull off this role. Especially the role of being a mother. She aced it 100%. And her children here, loved them <3 they were the perfect family.
I think after watching too many makjang lately I just got disappointed half way thru this drama as it only really evolved in one plot and one plot only: the death of the crown prince. I was hoping that they will be able to resolve this around episode 8-10 to make way for a bigger and deeper plot twist. But nope, they were literally just investigating the deaths of the 2 crown prince up until the end.
Since they were just really working on one plot, 3/4 along the series... I just realized that they have too many characters that they could've utilized more. Like the Royal Physician Yoo, the crown princess of the late crown prince, the grand heir, the king, the grand princes, the other princes and many more. Honestly they built up so much mystery around the character of RP Yoo but the way they did him was a bit anticlimactic. They really could've utilized him more.
I wish they told more stories also about the relationship of the King and the Queen so that us, the viewers, can appreciate more why does the king listen so much to the Queen, and why Consort Hwang mentioned earlier in the drama that you cannot disregard the Queen as she still holds value. I mean these are the little details that would make the viewers appreciate the plot more. But oh well... it is what it is. I don't regret watching it... but after watching it I really don't understand the logic behind the high rating.
But kudos to the actors! Bravo performance!
PS: I was really happy to see Bae Inhyuk again in a crown prince role!!!! But the heck they did him dirty by killing him asap ??? hahahahahaha
