review from 2019:
Fun and easy ride with great chemistry between the two leads. Highlights include a magical time-traveling car, refreshingly rude heroine (yes, I loved her!), some sympathetic side characters and several very hot kisses.
Crazy comedy in the first half of the show was awesome, the second half with melodrama and some extremely illogical or straight down stupid twists was more on an annoying side (e.g. how information travels unnaturally fast in medieval Korea, but the main characters are failing at some basic communication).
Made me happy, will rewatch favorite scenes in the future! 8 well-deserved stars!

This is for laughs, with a little love, sadness & distraction to mix it up a little
The ladies are beautiful, the guys are hot & they are all around humorous! I didn't come to this series expecting it to stick to the history, especially with the way it started out. This is a fun reprieve with lots of laughs & heart warming, if not almost scandalous haha moments with a dash sadness sprinkled throughout. And my goodness, the laugh of that spoiled brat Go Il Yong (Park Joo Hyung) oh so annoyingly funny! This is definitely a series that's fun to watch after we get past the female lead's obnoxious behavior with true growth on her part. Mu-Myung (Ahn Bo Hyun) is the cutest!!! So are On Dal (Lee Jong Hyun) & Sam-yong ( Lee Jae Jin)!... I guess you can tell who I came to see :D

Nonsensical , silly & fluffy drama that is frequently disjointed.
Selfish male lead is well matched with selfish female lead who acts like a jerk for most of the series & then becomes infatuated with him, but if he does not marry someone else, history will change in such a way that a war will not be won & everyone in the famous story dies & history changes.So basically forbidden love. There are a large quantity of disjointed scenes & things that just don't make sense. it's a fluffy, but annoying series that ends with an inexplicable happy ending (of sorts) not a very satisfying ending considering the time I invested.

That said, I still enjoyed the story immensely. It was basically just a quirky idol drama. For a saguek, it wasn't too terribly violent or full of politics. The "bad guy" was absurd. I actually started to feel a bit of piy for him at one point.
The guys were cute, there was some hilarious meta, and the girls were hilarious in their own right. I would be very happy to see any of these idol actors again. :)

Great historical period drama
I love historic period dramas, and I was pleasantly surprised with this drama - and time travelling was amazing add to it. Sure, the plot has its issues and plot holes, but once you ignore them, you can really enjoy this drama. I also really loved that the main woman Soo Jung wasn't a shy or clumsy girl, but a witty, confident and even rude! We don't really see that in many dramas, and it was a positive thing to see that made me wanna watch more.The characters are well written and fun, and even the annoying ones (I'm looking at you Go Il Yong) I found really likeable and grow fond of. And all the couples are so shipable and have great chemistry together, espeically Soo Jung and On Dal. Also the kisses between them were actually steamy and realistic than most Kdramas, another plus!
There were some plot holes, as I mentioned, but mostly I wish we knew more of Boong Boong (also one of my favorite characters, the car lol) - has it always been a time travelling car? Where did it get its powers, and why did it choose Soo Jung to travel her back in time, and travel her around? But well. I guess they wanted to leave that to a mystery.

Perfect for GONGLEE couple fans
If youre looking for a short series, this is perfect for you.Cinematography: well, it's pretty good and simple. The color is soothing to the eyes. The editing is quite awesome as well!
Cast: The cast is perfect. Of course Jong Hyun and Seung Yeon make a perfect pair. Their acting is impressive. They can pull off romance, drama, and comedy. I was surprised to be honest.
Musical scoring: I am very satisfied with its OST.
The sound fx is 100! It brought color and humor to scenes that needed them. It hit the punch lines and it targeted the perfect scenes that needed those kinds of sound/music.
All songs are perfect and heartwarming.
**believe me, it beat some long dramas in terms of musical scoring and sound editing.**
This, I believe, was made actually for the gonglee couple since a lot of details about them are in this drama 😅

I loved the acting and how the story line progressed well I found myself crying many times on this but then laughing. There are going to be characters you hate like in all Drama's You feel yourself understanding the protagonist more and more I also loved the way they brought people from the protagonists life into the past and made it seem like there life before like you know reincarnation and stuff.
I loved it even though it didn't make sense at the start very much it was a very interesting drama to watch cause they changed history in away *winks* not telling how tho cause that will ruin the story for those that haven't seen it yet.
Overall the characters the story everything was amazing the romance in this was also top notch I loved it! I'm pretty sure you will like it to and find yourself laughing at how the people act, Even if you don't particularly like historical drama's I'm pretty sure you will like this one! have fun watching <3

like everyone says, the main couple had great chemistry but that wasnt enough to get past their annoying relationship development. i actually liked them better before they got together.
and i’ll be honest while the acting was good, the only natural character in this drama was sam yong. everyone else seemed so awkward and out of place.
this story had potential but the story just wasnt executed well :/

if your in for a short RomCom series then try this.
the series is not that long so you can watch it within a day if your really interested on the series. well I really like how they manage to make this series very amusing on that part I will give 10/10 score, it will really makes you laugh but what I really don't like is how they made the action part of this series ( I mean how can a general goes for war with only few men and the acting scene was mediocre. ) they should have stick with the Romance and comedy hehehe. about the romance no question the acting is perfect and the chemistry between the leads is awesome! they really fight for their love in spite the odds and prevails in the end woah!!! nice!!Was this review helpful to you?
Definitely lots of plot inconsistencies(What's up with the end?).
A lot of scene changes that could not really carry the audience along( I found myself crying for 3 seconds and then I started laughing as the scene changed)
Music always fitted the scene but not memorable.
You're good to go if you can overlook it and just watch it for fun!!
