Spoiler-Free Mini Review:
I don't know why Money is Coming is rated so highly. Truly, the dots are not connecting. I feel like I'm being trolled, but that’s on par with how the show made me feel, so maybe it’s all meant to be. The drama was crazy, and the title is just gibberish and irrelevant.
The narrative follows a college student who transmigrated (WHICH HAS NO RELEVANCE WHATSOEVER ON THE PLOT AT ALL IN THE SLIGHTEST AND IS NEVER MENTIONED AGAIN) into a book/drama/who knows what as a side character and spurns her allotted role, inexplicably becoming the one thing that calms down a poisoned crown prince. I don't mind vampire vibes, but this whole thing was too silly and crazy.
The FL was a little annoying and the ML was meh, but the two had good chemistry. The highlighter orange eyeshadow was overpowering though. I did love the FL’s dad, but that really was about it. Halfway through I lost interest, but powered on since it was short. I don't really recommend, but it's short so live your life.
Story= 2 , Acting=2.5, Production Quality=1.5 (The highlighter orange eyeshadow and the FL’s plastic costumes gave me the chills) , Rewatch Value=1 (Indeed not), Ending=3 (no complaints), Enjoyability= 2.5 (Meh)
