Princess Songhwa, portrayed with charming determination, is a refreshing lead, rejecting the traditional norms of arranged marriage. The film's pacing is brisk yet manages to develop each suitor's character, creating a delightful tapestry of personalities. The practical effects and set design evoke a vivid sense of the period, while the humor feels organic and not forced. There's something distinctive in how the film balances its romantic pursuits with a critique of societal expectations, making it an intriguing watch for those interested in the nuances of love and tradition.
