My Charming Villainous Emperor (2023)

So here we have a script traveler! you know the ones that jump into games instead of time travel!

Regarding the cast, they are not bad. The acting is okay.
ML is handsome, FL is pretty and although I couldn't get used to her make up, it's not distracting.
Romance was a bit too rushed, Although the leads had okay chemistry. I wish they spent more time more like a couple!!

The story is nothing special, filled with as much cliche as they could shove in 24 episodes.
There are some cringe scenes but not on annoying level.
Some parts of drama became boring for me so I skipped bits and pieces in some episodes in order to finish it.

Here is a list of what we have here:
-hidden identity
-okay chemistry
-solving murder cases
-some palace stuff
-not dumb FL (I don't categorize her as smart tbh)
-Evil third wheel

Regarding the ending;
It wasn't satisfying for me!
I'm still waiting for the day that the filmmakers realize entering game/script doesn't equal time travel. (I had the same issue with another short drama! was hoping it will be different, but shame this was even worse.) hence I will not re-watch.

Overall it's an okay watch for passing time. You might enjoy watching this drama if you don't take it too seriously and ignore the not so good dubbing in some scenes.
