So about the STORY!!!! Park Bo-gum's char is.. well.. very.. CHEESY. In a CUTE WAY. UGH his char is soooooo CHEESY with love. It's so adorable and cute and MY HEART qwjlkbg. HE is perfect. I have never seen a Crown Prince so dreamy. He was able to tug my heart along with him for 18 episodes. I find it so rare that I get to see a drama where the lead male is so cute and cuddly. This alone makes the drama 100% MUST WATCHHHH.
I love how in this drama the princess actually starts out as a "bigger" girl. The story of her and Master Jung is cute and cheesy as well. The fact that in the end he thought she looked better before she starved herself to get skinny says it all to me.
Side characters in this drama.. HAAA. The Crown Prince has 1 too many BROMANCES if I do say so myself. The best one of all being him and KIM BYUNG. Kim Byung oh KIM BYUNG. A great example of friendship. + he might be the first 97er I have ever fallen for. The Crown Prince & eunuch Jang.. Such a funny thing of loyalty, seeing how jang freaks out every 5 sec.
Jinyoung. Oh what can we say about you.. This is Jinyoungs first drama with a lead role and I can say.. he did an absolute superb job. His character is actually quite likeable. But I am more shocked at how good he is at acting. His character is quite a playboy and I think he shows it with his expressions very nice.
So really, the main plot imo isn't that GREAT and a little confusing and not really elaborated on but the love plot is great. If you came from somewhere like Nirvana in Fire and you are expecting a thick and juicy plot about rebellions, this might not be the place for you. Overall, This drama is 95% love story focused vs a thick and juicy plot. I actually found the plot around the prime minister to be not so appealing and a bit of a bore. That aside, the queen does an excellent job at portraying a villain. She is legit scary.

Okay. Things I loved. EVERYTHING. Things I dislike, the route they took for my OTP.(Dong Hua x Feng Jiu). If you love them, Please read The Pillow Book Novels.
This drama can seem to drag on quite a bit during the first few epi, but don't be discouraged. The story is very well put together. Characters are very lovable. I can't even explain how attached I am to my OTP.. Ofc I think the side couples should have had more in dept story(like the 12th disc couple). The amount of "petty" drama is quite low compared to other drama I have seen like "The Princess Li Wei Young". The villains in this drama rly piss me off though. I don't like the concept of Xuan Nu. I honestly don't even understand her character. This drama actually makes the people in Jiu Chong Tian(9 Heavens) seem so uptight and assholish, stuck in their own ways. I don't like how they are portrayed compared to the people of Qing Qiu. If you haven't seen many drama of this genre it prob won't bother you as much as it did for me.
Overall I really recommend this drama. I'm not really good at explaining this one but just watch it. And please read The Pillow Book series for more of Feng Jiu and Dong Hua! It's much different from in this show. Dong Hua is one of the best char I have ever come across. AHHHH yqwijhkvgbn.

This drama is everything. Funny, cute, heartwarming. There was even small FUNNY reference to Love O2O(Probably the book, since the drama was made much after). Zhao Liying. Idek what to say about her. I've seen almost all of her dramas. I'm in love with her. She really brings Xue Shan Shan to life. If you love cute male leads who do weird things like force you to eat w/ them to get your attention, WATCH THIS. Feng Tang's char is so CUTE. While his role is the big boss of the company, he is actually SOFT asf.. & A LITTLE social dumb. Combined with SLOW Xue Shan Shan they made the perfect pair of misunderstandings and little dumb cute interactions. Each episode brought me laughter and joy. Except during the times of Li Shu being a dumb little __________. It's OKAY! You won't hate Li Shu forever! Stay strong when she pisses you off! Please watch this drama! You will not regret it.
P.S. If you wanna watch Eternal Love, Shan Shan's roommate is in there as Cheng Yu. A troublemaker. 100%.
