Critics, per Wikipedia
Perfect Crown received mixed reviews. While the production design and visual presentation were praised, critics highlighted issues with the script's predictability and character development. Bhavna Agarwal of India Today described the series as "all glitter, little gold", praising its visual presentation while criticizing its writing as "weightless" and reliant on established romantic tropes. Pierce Conran of the South China Morning Post similarly wrote that, despite high production values and a strong premise, the series "fails to immerse" due to characters that do not "feel like real people". Joel Keller of Decider noted that the narrative follows a predictable structure typical of…

unlabelledView post →Perfect Crown (Disney) is giving me exactly what I need. It may not be ground-breaking, but I adore the pure escapism that this show provides. It gorgeous to look at (love the costume design), fun, the pacing is perfect and IU and Byeon Woo Seok have wonderful chemistry... yay! #kdrama #perfectcrown

unlabelledView post →Perfect Crown continues to be enjoyable fluff. But my big takeaway from the show is: I would like Steve Noh and Gong Seung Yeon to be the co-leads of a kdrama where they play dueling then cooperating con artists. Give me a Leverage + Mr & Mrs Smith + The Player: Master of Swindlers type thing.

unlabelledView post →One more chapter and then my novel is done. I'll miss my lovely characters 😭. I can't believe my time with them is coming to an end already (for now, I still have to edit). I think I will reward/console myself by watching Perfect Crown. I see that is has some of my favourite supporting actors in it: Yoon Byung Hee, Lim Chul Soo and Jo Jae Yun. I particularly love Lim Chul Soo, he elevates every drama he's in. I'm rewatching Vincenzo right now and he is so so funny in that one (as is Yoon Byung…
unlabelledView post →#PerfectCrown Credit where credit is due the writing in episode 11 is all over the place but the acting is still fun to watch. Lee Yeon and Gong Seung-yeon are actors I had never heard of before this show and now I want to see everything they have ever been in.

unlabelledView post →Halfway through the final episode of Perfect Crown and I hate it. It’s whatever, but….this kinda sucks for the rest of the series and whatnot.
unlabelledView post →Finished it off tonight and it was great - loved it. Funniest thing is that at the start of the episodes, it mentions that there is product placement. Me: Appreciate the heads up, but I am not familiar enough with Korean brands to even clock it. The Show: HOW ABOUT SOME SUBWAY SANDWICHES FOR EVERYONE?! 🤣 Me: Oh, that may be it. #PerfectCrown
unlabelledView post →Collider is not wrong. Star Wars: The Acolyte is still among the most watched shows right now on Disney+. Tho don’t expect a new season news to drop on May the 4th. Also. Right now Korean Romance Drama PERFECT CROWN and South Korean reality Survival Series BATTLE OF FATES, are dominating the top.
unlabelledView post →Perfect Crown was good. Café Minamdang isn’t my typical style (it’s a crime/cop show) but it won me over very quickly with its humor. Seo In Guk has been knocking out the park.
unlabelledView post →I finished “Perfect Crown”. It was sooooooo good. I looked up recs similar to that show and this is what I’m watching now #kdramas “The king: eternal monarch” Anyone else have kdrama recs??

With all due respect to the professor, the show clearly established: (1) it is an alternate reality fiction; and (2) the DIVERGENGE points. #PerfectCrown #Kdrama
unlabelledView post →Have finished Perfect Crown and whilst yes I could have done with double the number of episodes, and there are Questions I Still Have, I loved it very much and have finished with a huge smile on my face. And I don't think you need anything more than that from a show? Lovely. Will watch again.
unlabelledView post →On a far lighter note, I am watching the latest episode of Perfect Crown, and all I have to say is this: The Royal family really needs to invest in some modern fire suppression systems. Sure, it doesn't exactly match the "Look at our lovely feudal era royal palace buildings we still use" aesthetic, but really, get yourself a good contractor and they'll make it blend in really well. #PerfectCrown

unlabelledView post →Caught up with Perfect Crown ep. 9. Sometimes I forget, esp. when she is in brat and boss mode as she's mostly been in this series so far, that IU can really act. I don't understand how she is that good at everything: songwriting, singing, performing, variety and panel shows, vlogging, MCing.
unlabelledView post →The problem with me entering kdrama discourse is that a lot of them actually do have plot holes, but the fans identify both those and room for inference as such. Perfect Crown was pretty shallow, but also the show itself addressed, directly or through inference, a lot of the criticisms it got.

unlabelledView post →Perfect Crown with all the flaws, I still enjoyed the show. It should have been a 16 ep ??? Okay, I will take my time reading the web novel of it. I can’t get over their domestic life after abolishing monarchy.
unlabelledView post →@whoosh @cinderdazzle612 @KDramaQn I-An has already said that Hui-Ju was his first love. I think QM had a one-sided love for I-An, but the family ambition to be queen meant the end of that, as well as her dreams of playing piano professionally. Folks have complained that the storyline wasn't fleshed out, but I preferred having it shown in quick flashbacks. More time to focus on our lovely leads. #kdrama #PerfectCrown #21세기대군부인

unlabelledView post →I haven't seen him in anything yet! But the show looks promising. Is Perfect Crown more historical drama or romance?
unlabelledView post →And yes, the "Empire" period don't exist in the series because of the earlier divergence point. Kings who died in real history didn't die in Perfect Crown which changed the course of Joseon that led to the "Empire" period not existing. So, of course, it's more likely they'll just retain everything.

unlabelledView post →@Faintdreams I find the chemistry complaint to be just hilarious! Their gazes are magnificent. And the historical aspects are quite silly when we're talking about an imaginary royalty. There were plot holes and other irritants, but the show was just jammed with eye candy and was wonderfully entertaining! #kdrama #PerfectCrown

unlabelledView post →All these discourses surrounding Perfect Crown baffles me a lot as the show marketed as romance not some historical drama. Just like what Luke Thompson said when it comes to Bridgerton. Hating on the cast for no reason over a silly inaccuracy.

unlabelledView post →#perfectCrown #vidding #kdrama For those of you following along with Perfect Crown. I watched the latest episodes and I know the typical story outline should have a set back at this point, but I was surprised by how sad it made me. The series feels really light. A marriage of convenience. A Cinderella story of sorts. Light! But it is only when things look to fall apart that you realize how precious it has been. I made a vid in record time. https://vimeo.com/1191425829
