Spoiler-Free Mini Review:
100 Days My Prince is a historical rom com in which a spinster must (unknowingly) marry an amnesic prince so there will be rain. Strong on comedy, but burdened by a somewhat unlikable Male Lead, 100 Days My Prince was a solid, if not forgettable drama. I don't have much to say about it as it didn't wow me, nor did I find it boring; It just didn't leave much of an impression either way. I admit I had second lead syndrome. Kim Seon Ho is always out on these K-drama streets being too good of an option.
In the defense of the Crown Prince's character and the actor, it's hard to establish a character who doesn't know who he is. But Doh Kyung Soo was great at the comedy. In terms of romance, he had these crazy dead fish eyes and I couldn't do it. I'm so sorry, but did no one else notice that?
Overall, a good watch if your in the mood for a funny period drama. I was never on the edge of my seat, but it didn't biff the ending. So yay?

Story=4, Acting=3.75, Production Quality=4, Ending= 3.5, Enjoyability= 4, Would I rewatch= Yeah
