It's a funny historical comedy which is too long for its own good

I would have given it an 8.6 if that was the option.

Right now, it isn't the option so my overall rating is 8.5.

The actors did a pretty good job for a romantic comedy, The villain slowly going completely crazy and making everyone hate him was quite a journey. I think his character was also very interesting because he wasn't introduced as a villain but later on portrayed as a villain because of his karma.
That's what I call a well written villain.

As for the ML, The actors was really good and I could see that he was truly hurt by the treatment of others as well having genuine love in his eyes. This is my first LYN drama and I am quite impressed by his acting.

The female lead was also funny and I enjoyed watching her. I did hate her a lot somewhere in the middle but she was able to get redemption. The scene where she covers the ML in the snow wasthe most emotional and beautiful scene of the drama.

The ending was a well written ending but the question about ML's existence puzzled people. It could have been made a bit more clear. I would love to see the couple in another drama in Modern setting.
