100 Days My Prince kicks off strongly on first few episodes

tvN has been constantly churning out great dramas with strong two digit viewer ratings.
With Mr. Sunshine drama peaking at its most, nevertheless the newest baby drama 100 Days My Prince has started off smoothly with steady viewers ratings too. Everyone is anticipating highly on Mr. Sunshine since it has big veteran actors in the drama with famed writer Kim Eun Sook for its story line, but 100 Days My Prince is no stranger to viewers as well.

EXO's Do Kyung Soo (D.O) plays the lead role as Lee Yul, the Crown Prince leading a sad life behind the palace doors. He witnessed how his childhood friend's father was murdered by the current PM Kim Cha Eon played by Jo Sung Ha. His loving mother vanished from his childhood days, he is forced to marry the Crown Princess So Hye who is cunning and even pregnant with someone else' child. 

PM plotted every way to get rid of Yul. So Yul fell into a big accident and is suffering amnesia. He is saved by a gentleman Yoon. Yoon adopted the noble lady Hong Shim who happens to be Yul's childhood friend. 

Keeping her identity safe, she is trying hard to search for her long lost brother. Yul gets a new name Won Deuk living in the simple village and is forced to get married to Hong Shim due to an order from himself as a Crown Prince! Unable to work and live comfortably since he is a Royal family member, he bosses people around. He doesn't remember anything and Hong Shim is annoyed to the end that she married a useless bum. D.O has certainly played well in the character as meanie Lee Yul who holds a high IQ and strong demeanour. His tone of voice and actions are funny in every way when he plays the helpless Won Deuk. Nam Ji Hyun is plucky and courageous woman who doesn't stand idly been bullied by men. 

And as we see the romance blooming between Won Deuk and Hong Shim, it gets a bit messy. The current King wants to protect the new Crown Prince SeoWoon and tried to get rid of Vice Premier Kim. In order to protect his own sake and his daughter Crown Princess, he finds Won Deuk/Yul at the Seongjoo Village and kneels down pleading him to return to the Palace for good. Hah! How confusing...the one to get rid of him and the one to beg him to go back.
