    *** Moon River (2025) ***
    (Viki 14 1:15 eps)

    [!!CW!! Synopsis & non-spoilery review.]

    A soul-switching historical with a revengeful prince & a merchant with lost memories who looks exactly like his murdered wife. Tired court intrigue plot. There was some interesting writing about the red thread of fate & supernatural beings, but it went nowhere. The writing was too direct - not everything needs an explanation.

    The ML excelled with the swap. He portrayed the FL well & it made for some funny moments. The FL tried, but she didn't capture the ML's mannerisms. Many people loved the chemistry. I didn't feel it at all. There is one scene where they really tried, but it just seemed like I was watching a photo shoot. I did enjoy the storyline and the acting of the 2nd leads much more than the mains. Although the middle is a mess, the ending was worth watching.

    Captivating the King
    (2024 - Netflix, 16 1:10 eps)

    A sageuk with the usual political intrigue, power-hungry villains, & royals in danger. The strategy of the baduk game the King loves is mirrored in the plans for revenge. A great role for the ML portraying the complicated depths of emotion as he is betrayed.

    The FL wasn't believable as a man - eyeliner & lipgloss give it away. The child actor who plays the Grand Prince was a joy to watch.

    The King's character is very well-written & has some great lines. The FL's character starts strong but becomes indecisive & teary-eyed for much of the last 1/2.

    I enjoyed watching it with a watch party. It helped to have multiple brains to sort out all the intrigue. But for a similar story, I think "Our Blooming Youth" is much better.
