## Synopsis

100 Days My Prince (2018) is a South Korean historical romantic comedy series created by So Jae-hyun and Lee Jong-jae for tvN, a sixteen-episode k-drama produced by Studio Dragon. Doh Kyung-soo plays Crown Prince Lee Yool, who falls from a cliff during an assassination attempt, loses his memory, and wanders under a new name. Nam Ji-hyun plays Hong-sim, the head of the first detective agency in Joseon, who crosses paths with him and becomes his unlikely partner in daily life. Cho Seong-ha, Oh Yeon-ah and Kim Seon-ho round out the principal cast with courtly rivals, family members and allies who orbit the pair. The engine of the show is a reluctant pairing that grows warmer through small errands, case work and everyday encounters rather than through a grand plot. Each episode is built around ordinary moments in the palace and the streets of the capital, giving the series a gentle slice of life rhythm. The tone is light and sweet, with comedic banter softening the period setting. Fans of Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo and Love in the Moonlight will find resonance in its historical costume romance and playful leads. The overall effect is cozy and wistful, a comfort watch set in 1800s-era Korea, where a single season of sixteen episodes lets the romance unfold at an unhurried pace.
