Spoiler alert… Okay I will ‘fess up and say that I got trolled by the showrunners in the last episode. I was fuming for a bit and then… voila! The reveal in the epilogue that all was well with the world with Dali and her cocky prince saw me sigh of relief. Happily there was no break up. No noble idiocy. No kowtowing to parental objections that might have made more sense in a bygone era. But the good news was that miserable Moo-hak was stood up at the last minute which is why he was a grumpy boy for a week and grumpier because Da-li returned from her overseas trip without even so much as a text message. Naughty but kind of clever.
As someone who hasn't been a huge fan of recent korean rom-coms, I found myself surprisingly invested in the leads of Dali and Gamjatang and seeing their development as individuals, as well as romantic partners. Do you think the unique charm of this drama has more to do with how fully-realized the characters are, or the actors' innate charm and superb portrayal of the characters? Or a magical mix of both? As always, I've enjoyed reading your insights regarding this drama and I look forward to your coverage of other dramas in the future~!
