You can love even when there's no time or place to love.

Queen For Seven Days was a really good drama that needed the viewer to focus on certain elements to be fully appreciated.
You don't need to know the historical background to see the show, but in my opinion it would be useful to appreciate it in the way it deserves to . In fact, I had a love-hate relationship with every character in this show, but I must say, this was what made the drama good.

STORY
The story itselfs is nothing much. Basically it revolves around bad parenting that generated trauma, trauma that generates other traumas. All the traumas, the weaknesses, the misunderstandings are manipulated by the ones who ran after power.
Power ends to ruin brotherhood, love and sincerity.
The drama had a really nice start: I appreciated the first episodes the most. The story went on so smoothly and lightly-hearthed. From the second part till the end, the story picked up a really bittersweet flavor, which lead to kind of a 'passive' watching. At some point I felt the story was just going nowhere and repeating itself, but It was not that bad though, because I think that at that point the main focus was on the characters more than the story itself.

CHARACTERS
Characters were a m a z i n g, basically the only thing that kept me going on. As much as I loved this drama, I still don't have a favorite character. Everyone was so humanily weak, bad, overly egoistic or too caring.
The prince was very weak, his older brother was probably the weakest ever. Chae Kyung was cringely naive, and her family had so many ups and downs. However, this is why I liked the drama. Everyone had a different goal but the same way to accomplish it. I found very moving Seo No's character reasons and ideas, he was the only commoner between aristocrats.
I won't go too deep in this because it's too easy to spoiler, but just keep in mind that everyone will make you questioning yourself about who is right, who deserves the throne and so on...
The actors were awesome in their perfomances, Lee Dong Gun was at his best. He gave probably the best performance of the show. However, I must say other characters weren't as 'problematic' as his and they weren't given the opportunity to fully shine because of the script itself, in my opinion.

MUSIC
Again, I liked the music in the first episodes more than the others. I found the english song very suitable and nice. It was also light-hearted and I liked it. From second part on, the drama intensifies, so music gets dramatic.

REWATCH VALUE
Honestly I don't think I will watch this drama again. All the drama, the sorrow, the things that got me angry don't make it a show I would like to rewatch.

OVERALL
Queen For Seven Days starts with the most tragical flash forward. I don't like to think about sad endings, I love happy ones. However, I couldn't help but to keep watching it even tho it got more and more tragic episode after episode. Again, I think one should know the real history behind it before starting the drama.
I feel like most of the people are not able to catch the real meaning of it. Most of the watchers I spoke to talked about 'siding' with a character or another. I honestly think people should watch this drama 'coldly', without taking sides. I was impressed by the acting of Lee Dong Gun, and his character was the one with the best scenes, but this doesn't mean I'd side with him. I pitied him as I pitied other characters, and that's all. I often wondered why people thought he should've been the king when he had serious mental problems. (His brother was not the best option, but at least he was trying to help the commoners and not destroying the country. )
I think the writer intention was to inspire the viewer to question himself: the effects of bad parenting, lies someone says to protect another are right or not?, how deep can love be and so on...
I recommend it to someone who is looking for a nice drama filled with a 'hidden' love. It has a very sweet love story and it gets kind of "tenderly dramatic". First episodes are light and smooth, so it's not very difficult to get into the drama.

I watched this because the posters catched my eyes, I didn't know anything about it before watching.
I didn't know the actors or the plot, and no one never told me anything about.
I found out it is quite good.

STORY:
The story is good. I mean, nothing great, but it is different.
The kidnapping, the company, the cooking, the weird Wu Di show and so on make the show funny and different, without seem too much absurd.
The commedy is well balanced, but you never feel it is going to end bad, there is also a light even in the bad moments.

CARACHTERS/ACTING/CASTING:
Carachters were perfect with their personalities. Everyone was normal, not stupid or weird.
Wu Di and Shan Bao were really amazing. I mean, I loved the fact that they never misunterstood anything about each other, they were able to face their feelings till the end.
I loved that.
Also, Nicholas and Amber were good with acting. They seemed totally natural and in their part, as if it was their real personality.
Supporting actors were quite good too, from her brothers, to the second lead, to the little cutie little girl!

MUSIC:

Well.... the music was... FUNNY!
The main song is cute and makes you laugh!
The ending too is cute, and the ballad in the show are ok.

I recommend this. It is funny and makes you also think about life and growing up.

Introverted boss was a drama with one of the biggest potential ever (in the rom-com world), but it had some weaknesses that made me change my opinion several times.
A premise should be that there was a script review after the 4th episode. It was for the best, yet it didn't manage to completely heal the drama that suffered from a bad start untill the end and that put 'bad' pillars stones to the drama.

STORY
The story was good enough to catch the attention just by reading the plot. Just a office drama: so projects, team work, relationship between coworkers. There were two interesting things: a suicide case, and a peculiar boss. The suicide case remained unsolved till the ends, this kept the drama interesting, but made the main couple suffer and being awkward.
The main lead condition was really true to reality.

ACTING/CAST
I enjoyed the cast much.
The male lead performance was outstanding: so true to reality and so relatable. He opened slowly to the world and that's something I really appreciated.
The main girl was nothing more than okay. At first she was the most hateful character ever: so childish and immature. I feel her character suffered much from the script review, because it became nice. However, I can't understand why people say that she went from bad to extremely good and nice. To me it was just nice and kind, but nothing more.
The second leads were actually quite okay. Their characters were complex and kind of deep.
Side characters were nice, but nothing much.

MUSIC
Nothing much to say. There were some nice songs, but the ost did not become one of my favorite.

REWATCH VALUE
I don't think I would watch this again. Mostly because of what I'll write down below.

OVERALL
Introverted Boss, as I said, had a lot of potential... but not to be a romantic comedy.
The suicide case's shadow is always lingering and tormenting the characters who end up revealing details gradually. Despite the nice atmosphere in the office, I couldn't help to feel bad for that girl who killed herself.
Also I couldn't feel the chemistry between the main couple. I wanted them to be together just for him to overcome his shyness. Plus, there were moral obstacles against their relationship, they were pretty huge and actually - in my opinion- insurmountable. The main girl became just the kindest girl ever, she accepted people who ruined her life, who hurted her sister, changing completely from the beginning of the drama.
The second main lead was overly egoistic, but I think it was becase writers were not so clear in portraying his character. The main lead's sister had an interesting character, but again, I felt they dealed with it a bit childishly.
Still, I gave this drama 8 because it had lots of pros: the main character, the nice pace, the kissing scenes.
