Secret Royal Inspector Joy

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.

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 love the first episode of this drama i laugh out loud it has really interesting storyline and actors are so good looking forward for upcoming episode.

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.

My rating is 8 only because if lee jae kyoon. Remove this guy's perfect acting from the series the drama drops to 5 or 6 for me.

Park tae soo kept me going. His eyes said it all.

An extremelyyy underrated actor. Desperate to see him in a lead role!

Other than that, story was a bit disconnected Starting episodes were funny up till 6th or so. Then drama lost all continuity and scenes didnt fit.

Chicken fake voice of female lead was the most annoying thing.

Romance of leads was just okay. No feeling there at all.

Bromance of male lead and his two servants was good Story: 7/10 Acting: 7/10 (exclusive rating for park tae soo: 10/10) Direction: 5/10 Script: 7/10 Makeup/clothes : 9/10.
