THE PRINCE IN MY SWORD

About this drama

The source for this entry is a 212-character logline with stakes, and the title is recorded exactly as printed, capitals and all. What the source states: she can hear the dead. Then she hears a prince trapped inside a cursed sword. As Mara fights to free him, she uncovers a kingdom built on stolen souls, and must choose between his freedom and the fate of the dead. Three sentences, and the third is where the premise stops, at a choice rather than an outcome. The name Mara is the only one given, which is more than most loglines provide, and the gift is specified as hearing, so the dead are a crowd she lives inside rather than a mystery she solves. The sword is the prison, the prince is the voice, and the kingdom's foundation of stolen souls converts the rescue into a moral cost, since freeing him is framed against the fate of the dead themselves. The choice is the record's edge, and no ending is stated. The run is forty-eight episodes with 3,065 views, the second-highest counter in this batch, a strong audience for a premise that stops at a fork. The capital letters of the title do no work the sentence doesn't, and the platform prints them anyway.
