THE SHORT VERDICT:
When Show is at its best, it’s frothy, irreverent, cheeky fun, all self-aware and blithely poking fun at drama tropes.
However, when Show is not at its best, it’s slow and laborious, like it’s putting all of its effort towards achieving its secret dream of being the best traditional sageuk it can be. 😅
The watch experience is understandably quite uneven, and sometimes, even a little whiplashy.
As a silver lining, Show does manage to serve up a pretty solid ending, despite its missteps along the way.
