Lately they just seem kinda…dumb? I mean, they’ve always been cheesy, and I love that. But I tried watching The Story of Park’s Marriage Contract and got to the scene where the Princess is wearing a modern-miniskirt-length hanbok, and then the King calls in all the ministers about his daughter’s skirt–and I just couldn’t. Sure, it’s a time-travelling fantasy, but at least be consistent with the time period. I also wondered how the FL had a pocketwatch with roman numerals. What time period, precisely was it supposed to be?
I was really excited for this drama. Time travel, marriage contract, what’s not to love? But I mean, there’s only so much disbelief I can suspend.
So help me out. What’s good lately? Makjang, family dramas, fantasies that don’t break their own constructed reality. Political sageuk. No thrillers or horror.
