Suga from BTS obviously has established his name and identity in the industry. However, outside of BTS, rarely do we see Suga and other BTS members interact with other celebrities or artists since they do not participate in variety shows. Suga is a great host, the conversation flows from personal experiences to promotional talks with so ease it can be easily forgotten that some guests are there to promote! The show's concept is essentially bonding and hanging out over drinks like you are hanging out with a friend. Chapter 2 of BTS is to engage in solo works, and this is a great opportunity for Suga to show a different side to his fans and have meaningful conversations with his industry colleagues. I love the time travel segment and 'what is your dream?' question he asks every guest.

The main problem with this drama is that the plot makes no sense, the directors thought showing IUs doe eyes one too many times will be sufficient enough to show the audience what a pure and lovable character she is. Why does everyone suddenly love her when she's (or the doppelganger) existed for so many years before and literally no one cared? Suddenly she's close to the princes: many want to marry her????? She is such a good actress, but the character made no sense to me.

The rivalry for the throne and power between sibling/half siblings is a common trope in many period dramas, but they've never portrayed the hate and jealously so badly. I watched till 14 episodes and couldn't bear to finish it. This drama tried out every trope possible: the love triangle trope, the damsel in distress trope, the unrequited love trope, forbidden love, etc. Unfortunately, all fell flat and seemed like were added to drag and fill the episodes.
