Waste of my time and it will be a waste of yours
Honestly, at first, I thought it would be very interesting. But then they went and continued the show.The only likable character was Choi Do Ill. And that's it. The first two sisters were just annoying and downright stupid. And don't even get me started on In-hye, I hated that girl to the very last fiber in my body. Such an ungrateful, teenager that only whines and leaves her family behind just to live off of someone else's money. People only try to excuse her actions by calling her a child.
The way that the evil characters got away with literally everything so conveniently even when the people had FREAKING VIDEOS OF THEM COMMITTING CRIME!!! was another triggering thing. And the bad guys were comically villian-like.
Overall, the story was quite predictable and bland. Only watched it for the one likable character to see where it goes but nothing really went anywhere.

A truly lovely experience
*Very slight spoilers ahead*Ahhh, Lovely runner. You know those series you begin to watch and from the very first episode you KNOW you are going to love IF the writers don't f**k you up? Yep, this series was one of those for me.
While the story does lack in some regions here and there and there are just a bunch of repetitive and annoying things that happen quite a bit that made me audibly groan, overall its a very vary enjoyable watch. All the actors, the music and the good ending really did give this series an extra star from my original rating. Never have I ever swooned so much and genuinely loved a character as much as I love Ryu Sun Jae, the greenest of all green flags, this man is a freaking forest. Byeon Woo Seok did a fantastic job portraying him.
This has the same vibes of Twinkling Watermelon (though that one had a stronger storyline). So if you're looking for a heartwarming romance with just a sprinkle of fantasy that will make you giggle and kick your feet like a little girl, definitely go for it. The hype for this is truly worth it!

White Head, Same Heart
Okay so this drama had literally EVERYTHING I love: time travel, reincarnation, time loop chaos, a modern girl yeeted into a fantasy world and enemies to lovers?! Hello?? All my favorite tropes dumped into one glorious 40-episode soup. I was seated.And what a breath of fresh air it was, from start to finish! The plot kept twisting and turning so much I almost got whiplash lol. Sure, some things were predictable (as all dramas are), but the constant absurdity of it all? Weirdly part of its charm. They told us from the very beginning that this girl was trapped in a ridiculous script and had to rewrite her own fate no matter how bizarre, and that’s exactly what she did, with full chaos energy. And I love that she was hellbent on staying within the world and not return.
The music was great and also, those scenes where they had to play out the “actual script” while flashing between timelines was absolutely awesome and super cool! That was one of the most creative parts of the show, hands down.
AND… it had a happy ending!!! Like a real happy ending. YAYYYYY!!! ◝(ᵔᗜᵔ)◜🎉
Now for my nitpicks:
Like a few other plotlines, they just kind of abandoned the “secret recipe to the unbreakable sword” subplot. FL literally went “meh, idk” and moved on to the next problem lol.
ML’s dad was a certified monster and then suddenly he’s a loving father again? Nah. I still hated him to the very end. One beef I have with Chinese dramas is that parents can never be wrong (especially the emperor). *sigh* but do I still watch? Yes. Yes, I do.
ML himself had the classic drama disease: from ruthless and calculating to golden retriever. Though to be fair, that could be blamed on the “script rewrite” by the FL.
And FL… girl. You do so well sometimes. And other times you go and make the exact same dumb mistake that already ruined things once. Like?? WHY. (⩌_⩌) You literally know what happens! But anyway, I had long since turned off my brain and just enjoyed the ride for this one 😩
Overall, this is just a super fun watch. Not too serious, not too deep, just pure entertainment wrapped in fantasy time-loop ridiculousness. Everyone wins in the end with the power of friendship and love and sparkles and whatever else. Yeyyyyy!! LMAO 💀✨

Hilarious and cute
I love costume dramas and even if I hate everything about them, If I like the aesthetics I watch them as a guilty pleasure. I started this series without too many expectations. Usually, cdrama comedy is just silly to me but I will be honest to say that some of the scenes made me laugh out loud. I especially love the sidekicks lmao. They're one of the best parts.The story/writing itself has a lot of flaws but you can overlook that if you start this series without expecting too much sense from it. One other thing I really enjoyed was the setting. I loved the matriarchal twist, really goes to show how ridiculous and wrong our own world is and it's truly a breath of fresh air. The romance is cute, nothing too swoon-worthy but honestly the way the ML looks at the FL is just *chef's kiss*, and the puppy dog eyes... ૮(˶˃ᆺ˂˶)
I still haven't finished it yet (ep11), I might update if I have anything more to add.
I recommend it to anyone who wants something fun and lighthearted to kill time.
Edit. I finished it finally. I wish they didn’t drag it for so long and repeat the same damn cycle over and over again. This isn’t very good to watch if you want something with an AMAZING story and everything makes sense, but its perfect if you just want to laugh. It WILL make you laugh i promise xD
