This might be the worst K-drama I can't stop watching, desperately hoping the story will make sense or the characters will start thinking and behaving rationally. The female lead has one blank expression, acts irrationally and frankly treats the male lead (who seems like a decent, sensitive guy) like utter garbage. This is basically as asinine as Gossip Girl except with GG you expect a level of craziness. On top of all the nonsense, there's also the "clingy girl who desperately latches onto the guy" trope...can we please move on from this poor representation of women? I'm hopeful the last few episodes will redeem this dumpster fire of a story and characters.

Wow! I'm glad I ignored the reviews because this was really well done and incredibly informative! I had assumed the tabloid fodder was absolute rubbish that only stood to continue a racist and outdated institution. In a way, Meghan's experiences (and Harry's decision to leave) have been the ultimate power move in standing up for injustice, prejudice and hatred. This documentary was very well done, incredibly moving and really humanized this couple within the very real struggles they endured to uphold the royal institution. Ignore the reviews and watch it - if you think about it, anyone could become a victim of this type of hatred spread through the media, social or otherwise.

Ro Woon is really the star here in what might be the best male lead character in the K-drama universe. The secondary characters are also incredibly heartwarming despite the usual drama cliches (e.g., the controlling girlfriend, tedious mother, etc.). This is definitely a very realistic storyline that includes the hardships and sacrifices one makes for love. Ro Woon is incredibly warm and caring as the lead, and adds charming humor as he falls more in love with Song-ah, who is very practical and skeptical before realizing how amazing he is. By the end, all of the characters have a satisfying conclusion to their stories.

If you're looking for something more serious than Hometown Cha Cha Cha but less heartbreaking than Crash Landing, this is perfect.
