The Story
An aimless royal administrator gets assigned to work as a secret royal agent for the king, rooting out corruption among the other royal officials. Following rumors about those who are using their positions to take advantage of the people, the secret royal agent travels to those towns in disguise and attempts to uncover their crimes. His team consists of himself, his servant, and a female police officer who travels dressed as a man. Together they will fight to bring justice for those who have been mistreated.
Should I Watch
I really wanted to like “Secret Royal Agent”. It has a fantastic cast and I love historical dramas. But this one left me disappointed. With a cliché plot that fell apart as the drama went on, dialogue that didn’t give the cast much to work with, and comic moments that felt random and out of place, this drama just fell flat, particularly when compared to other historical comedies such as “Mr. Queen”. Having said all that, this drama was not without it’s moments. Kim Myung Soo’s charm does peek out from time to time and the travelling trio have moments where their chemistry shines through. For those who like historical dramas but don’t like their heavy plot lines or beginners looking for a historical drama that isn’t too complicated, you may appreciate this one. If you are just looking for an easy distraction, this drama can be fun. But there are definitely a lot of other dramas I would watch first. I give “Secret Royal Agent” a 6 out of 10 ramen.
