The Beauty Who Fed the Beast

About this drama

The source for this entry is a five-sentence synopsis of 788 characters, and two transcription facts come first: the platform joins clauses with two em dashes, both transcribed here as commas, while the straight apostrophes, in mirror's and mother's, and the straight double quotes around Trial of Truth are kept as printed. What the source states: Crown Prince Evren triggers the ancient mirror's "Trial of Truth" during the succession rite before his coronation. Every lie he speaks against his true will causes his body to grow beyond his 190-centimeter frame and gradually transform into a beast, sprouting black scales, slit pupils, and horns, and only admitting his genuine desires can reverse the change. If he cannot regain his human form within seven days, he will forfeit his right to the throne. Liora, a laundry and alteration maid, accidentally enters the sealed Old Palace, stumbles upon the transformed Crown Prince, and is drawn into the trial. Amid the repeated tug-of-war between lies and confessions, Evren must confront his mother's control, the pressure of a political engagement, and the choice his heart truly wants. The premise is one prince whose lies become his beast, and the line closes on what he must confront, so no ending is stated. Three catalog facts frame the entry. The run is fifty-four episodes, standing alone at that length. The registry column lists 8 against the API's fifty-four, a gap of forty-six, part of this batch's systematic split between free counts and full counts, disclosed with the API figure used here. The counter reads 1,015 views, seventh of twenty, in the upper half. The byline is Drama Mode On_Studio, one of three entries under the studio spelling in this batch, and the platform marks the series completed.
