God this entire royal family is just a stream of Sageuk cliches. The spoiled Princess, the Overbearing Mother/Regent, the Clueless Emperor, the Granchild-Obsessed Grandmother.
So at the end of episode 1, we’ve had two murders, one brewing sex scandal, an assassination attempt, a truck of doom, a palace MYSTERY, and a Candy with family debt problem.
What will episode 2 have? Amnesia, a birth secret and a time jump?
This show is gleefully crazy. I get why people seem to like it despite the cliches. It’s like they’ve decided to just embrace them wholeheartedly.
Unfortunately no. While I kind of enjoy how unapologetic it is about what it is, I can’t say that I want to watch 24 episodes of this. The problem with makjang is that the characters are shallow so that the writers can have them literally do anything. And while that’s fun for an hour or two, I couldn’t watch 24 hours of it.
Smart decision. I’m not watching it either. If I had all the time in the world, I would. But my free time is limited and I’d rather watch something I do like whole heartedly.

We’ve five minutes in and already the Evil Queen has a Magic Mirror.
One that has been discovered by a (possible) scheming second female lead.

Part nihilistic hedonist, part Phantom of the Opera. Or something. But does that make Jang Nara’s character his Christine?
