Society Obsessed with Love

I really liked the female lead's acting (Sohye), her expressions are really adorable.
The settings is light, fluffy, retro-ish vibe~ which I really like.
The story and the female lead's situation is very relatable to me, so that's why I gave it a 10/10, but I'm sure others will enjoy it too.

Cliché but I couldn't drop it??
This drama would've been awesome if it was released in the early 2000sthe story is predictable, believe me when I tell you they literally used every kdrama and shoujo manga cliché here!
it's not for someone who watched many Kdramas but a good start for newbies I guess.
I feel this drama didn't focus on its message "True Beauty" it was just another love triangle story 🤷🏻♀️
I expected to see more things about make-up and the beauty of the inner self but it was mostly about 'a person without makeup (ugly?) ending up with a natural hottie' and that's the relationship of 99% of the characters!
and don't get me started about the acting! tbf idk if it's the directors fault or the nature of the story that made it this way.. the acting was.... stiff? especially Eunwoo's (sorry Eunwoo fans..) most parts felt forced, I didn't feel the chemistry between the leads.. 😔
tbh it's the side characters that made the drama a bit interesting but oh god they were all lamb sacrifices for the plot between the female lead and male lead!
If you read my review you this far, I bet you're wondering if I'm more on the negative side of this drama WHY did I bother to finish it?? I have one word for you dear MDLs... 🥁
HWANG IN YEOP!!!
he was the saving grace of this drama and kept me going! he's EYES! he's CHARISMA! he's acting SKILLS! he stole the show along with my heart! this's why I gave "Acting" a generous 9/10
trust me it's not just me who think this I'm not being biased at all! for me this drama was worth watching for Hwang In Yeop so I'll recommend it, if you wanna be charmed away and suffer major 2nd lead syndrome!
OSTs? I don't even remember them lol was there any other than "Missing You"? I loved that one

Prince Consort, Please Advise
1 mensen vonden deze beoordeling nuttig
Everything is purely comical, nothing sexual and there's sprinkles of romance here and there, but it's more of a comedy than romance. it's a light watch so I recommend it.
but just to let you know there was 1 problematic part which lasted about 1 second, I don't know why they felt the need to add that part which was unfunny and unneeded, the episode would've been much better without it.
I scored the music low because there wasn't anything outstanding, however I liked there wasn't any spoilers in opening (that's a first in cdrama lol! maybe because it's short)
I gave the Acting 6/10 because of the child actor haha I loved his "side-eye glare" you'll know what I mean once you watch it
it's called 'Prince Consort, Please Advice' on Viki and it's 12 Eps, the duration of the eps varies around 12 - 19 mins with only ep 9 & 12 about 25 - 29 mins.
the drama also announced there'll be a season 2.

but I was pleasantly surprised it was psychological! I almost thought it's a jdrama! something like Switch.
It was intriguing in the earlier episodes,
however, later it starts to lose it's charm...
I believe it lacked character relationship build up, their relationship with each other felt flat... and sometimes confusing.. (I won't go into detail to avoid spoilers)
maybe it would've been better if it was longer. and tbh some parts didn't make sense but I was ok with it cuz whatever
Although I found Koo Ae Jin a little annoying because I don't tend to like weak and negatively stubborn female leads but I liked how she portrayed a realistic character, not a handsome guy entering her life and suddenly she morphs into a popular extrovert *rolls eyes*
the actors did a good job however in the later eps some acting parts were a bit cringe, I think that's the direction to blame..
Despite everything I was excited for new episodes and that's quite rare of me since if I don't like a drama I'd immediately drop it (more like exile it to the On-hold list to feel less bad harshly dropping it)
my favourite character was Jisung and I'm upset they barely gave him any screentime :(
All in all, I recommend it, I really liked the ending moral of the story. so don't worry it's not a toxic beauty show.
(btw I rate music low if I don't remember the song.. I'm sorry to the artists maybe I was too focused on the story)

A Marmite Kdrama
I rarely like office kdrama however I gave it a go bcz it's a short comedy drama (it's actually 12 eps not 24!)It's a fun drama, I enjoyed every episode!
loved the characters especially the old guy Lee Man-sik!
however since ep 10 the drama confused me! I was like ??? did I skip some episodes? what's going on?? eh out of NOWHERE??? kinda reactions
since ep 10 I felt like they changed the director or maybe suddenly they were told to reduce the episodes.. it was rushed! but you know what? I liked it bcz sometimes I get tired of dragging details!
don't watch this if you're expecting romance, it's there but not the spotlight, actually the romance plot was quite interesting bcz it kept me thinking WHO'LL END WITH WHO lol (I'll discuss this in discussion, check if u want spoilers)
it dodge the cliché shots but at the same it missed a few bullets (no korean director can escape the cliché tropes it's ingrained the hallyu industry)
and that's why it's a Marmite kdrama! you either hate it or love it!
I love it so I recommend you to watch Kkondae Intern however don't take it seriously, enjoy with a light heart

The acting was actually pretty good, the female lead is such a princess and Yu Yang Yang (the antagonist girl) managed to piss me off. Male leads are good-looking too, one is a prince and the other is a knight type of character and they too acted good especially for me the 2nd male lead but not as good as the female characters did in this drama.
The osts were an ok because one ost felt too much like the singer was trying to copy Britney Spears and another ost was identical to a Korean drama ost, can't remember which, maybe it's a Chinese version of the Korean one, I don't know.
One thing I liked about this drama is the little parodies they add.
All in all it's an okay drama, I finished it because it just has 16 eps and I also wanted to check the 2017 drama Dear Prince which has the female lead and Yu Yang Yang from this drama My Little Princess.

like the lead girl was dreaming some princessy dream and wakes up to reality.. something like that.
But oh boy it kept going on and on... I'm like damn this's the actual story.
Everything is cliché, cringe and awkward. The female lead acting is ugh just no too bad, I guess she was trying to be like a moe anime character.
I couldn't even finish episode 1.
It's a 2017 drama yet it seems so old!
So disappointed thought this would be something similar to Hana Yori Dango.
