100 Days My Prince

Okay, first thing first i've never watch KDrama before. Never ever cross in my mind. But one day, i accidently watch the first episode of this drama on tv and then start to follow every single episode because of the story. Let's just say i am curious. And it's definitely worth it after i finish all the episode, and lemme say that this is one of the best thing i've ever watch. But, to be honest i expect more from the last episode. Yep, the ending should be better.

D.O. was perfectly cast as the Crown Prince with amnesia! His natural faraway gaze gave his character the lost look of someone struggling to remember who he is. He played his character stoically and credibly. I loved him in this series! I rated it a 9 only because there were a few "holes" in the story that were never filled or explained, but D.O.'s portrayal rates a 10!!!

Two-thirds of this drama is charming, lovable, and often funny. When it is tragic, it is also touching. The cast is wonderful and worked hard. Many supporting actors are as good as the leads-often true in the best KDramas-and two 2nd ML held their own with DO. It was all good, and I had a great time. Then the writer seemed to lose her way or interest in the story. She wastes time with nonsense side plots, tedium, and silliness with the main characters, and the opportunity to close a great love story with the joy it deserved. Even the adorable leads seemed to lose their way and the chemistry they had in the rest of the drama. Then the writer simply hastily ended, but I didn't care because the story's energy was sucked out of it. I still enjoyed most of it, just disappointed in the flat closure.

This was a first of its kind for me and I liked it a lot. I liked the love story between the prince and his childhood friend. I don't know much about the history of this time but there was a lot of sword fighting between regimes. A lot of backstabbing. And, a lot of modern day drama applicable then. There was a lot of servitude. The movie depicted life then and that was informative. The characters were very well appointed.

Realistic plot but the last part ruins every episode beneath such a very low-impact ending.
