What a wonderful comedy/drama!! Taecyeon is superb at comedy with wonderful facial expressions and a delightful smile. The scenes between his grandmother, who was perfect in her part, and Taecyeon had me laughing out loud. There was great chemistry between the main characters and all the supporting actors did a great job and were well casted. The women in the show, especially Kim Joy, were as strong as the men and I found that refreshing.
I seldom watch a show more than once but this is definitely worth watching again. We need more comedy/dramas like this one that make us laugh and feel good especially during these difficult times.

The first 7 episodes are fun like most people thought, couldn't agree more bout that. A literal no brainer, not tragic and complicated like most Sageuk drama. A perfect choice if You desire something light and bright after a heavy ones like crime-thriller drama. Or so You thought... Cause in fact it hides darkness behind. It's "secret royal inspector" similar to what us modern community have after all.
Lee Jae Kyoon (Park Tae Soo) acting, especially on the game-changer 8th episode and tearjerker 14th episode is exceptional! I watched the 8th episode at work, during lunch hour, my desk was a literal puddle of tears. His expression shows it all, it's heartbreaking. Meanwhile for the 14th one i watched it at home, on my lazy Sunday afternoon when i'm alone. Dude i bawled my eyes, crying out loud T. T Though I've been watch kDrama for 20 years (since 4th grade), it's a shame that i just recognized him in the Veil (his acting was excellent there as well), huhu. Hope he'll become much more famous and get more lead roles later!

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.

Secret Royal Inspector and Joy is a joy to watch! Kpop singer/rapper Taecyeon of 2PM is also a respected actor. I first became aware of him through his work on Vincenzo. His chemistry in this series with beautiful spunky actress Kim Hye Yoon is a winner! Together they are an unbeatable team solving mysteries and intrigue at the Royal court! 2021 is the comeback year for 2PM and another winner in the actor department!!
