Secret Royal Inspector Joy

First of all, I like this storyline and characters (Riyon and joyi). Then I like the theme of Joyi character💜She is independent and fun loving girl💜 Therefore u cannot ignore other characters.

I really wanted to love it.

First of all, I have to say, this drama is so beautifully made I recommend anyone to watch it just to admire the details and work they put i to it.

The costumes are gorgeous, the props, hairstyles, locations, sets, the cinematography and its colors.

I have watched many historical korean dramas and I am telling you I have never seen one made with such care. There's even a few letters showing where they are trading with other countries and you can actually read the beautiful calligraphy in old dutch and portuguese)

This series has literally all the ingredients to be amazing and yet it didn't cut it to be so.

Even the characters are very unique , women are not just waiting for the men to save them and do the work there's many strong female characters and that is just awesome to watch. Love how many feminist kdramas they are creating lately.

For me the problem was the story and the pace, it is just not interesting enough and everything is so slow. I'm very sad because I was very looking forward for it and I really really wanted to love it.

I fell in love with the acting of Kim Hye-Yoon when I watched Extraordinary you and she didn't disappoint, she is just so fresh when she acts, but there's no depth in her dialogues and is just sad. Even when they ask her why she wants to get a divorce, I was expecting for her to actually tell something deeper.

First time watching Ok Taecyeon acting and left me cold, his comedy looks forced and I didn't feel any connection with the main lead, but might be the script's fault.

I am giving it a 7 because of how's amazingly this show is made.

A royal inspector Ra Ian, played by Ok Taec-yeon has more interest in cooking than carrying out his royal duties. He is despatched to investigate the disappearance of another royal inspector and along the way gets involved in a small town dispute where an independent woman Kim Joy played by Kim Hye-yoon is seeking a divorce. They end up becoming involved with each other and investigating various crimes, one of which goes to the very top of the royal court. It is an interesting story from the Joseon period with great sets and costumes. The acting from the entire cast is good but what lets it down is the failure in the writing. The storyline seems to lack cohesion and you never feel involved with any of the characters or their story lines.

Another Dragon Studio, TVn production.

Again, perfect!

All the caracters are incredible, And the story flows like a river.

Still amazed by the capacity of the seeenwriters.

I came across this show and thought that title was interesting and started watching it. So glad that I did. This is one gem of a show. The comedy sprinkled in between and the funny moments are on-point. It's like they knew they were being goofy and funny and wanted us to know as well. It works for the show and makes it a good watch.

The lead actors have a great chemistry. Both Kim Hye-Yoon and Ok Taecyeon played their characters skillfully. Both portrayed all the aspects/emotions of their characters and did justice to them. Very believable in terms of chemistry and emotions. I thoroughly enjoyed the show and look forward to both the actors future work. The supporting cast is great as well. This series works and is a good happy watch.
