And realistically, Empress or Queen is just a fancy title that mean you will need to breed heir for the Emperor and "manage" all the others Emperor's women with the same duties: Heir production.

FL didn't need any of that and wouldn't want it even for him. :P

Is it really AI ? I hate that now I need to second guess everything. This intro really trigered my spider sense but with ML being a freaking animator I was like "They wouldn't dare, right ?".

Ngl, I loved when they included 3D animation in Dramas or Movies but now, AI ruined it for me. :/

Love the fact both their wishes became true with the epilogue. Him wishing they could be together and her wishing they could be together "in their next life". A very satisfying ending!! :D

No, they do end up together even in Joseon. It's just she can't be the Empress (being lowborn) and refuse the position of consort because she doesn't want to be trapped in the Palace. In another hand, ML also refused to take an Empress as the previous Emperor had a heir and he want to pass the throne to him but he is still a child. And when he did, he come back for her "as a ordinary man" for the HE.

As for the epilogue in modern time, it's actually very sweet. Back in Joseon time, both made wish with sky lantern. He wished they could be together. And they did. But she wished they could be together "in their next life" as for her, it was impossible for them in Joseon time because she was lowborn. So it's really sweet that both their wishes became true as they indeed ended up together in their next life, in modern time. <3

A bit whatever. The story is quite simple. The acting is... They tried their best I would say to be nice. I mean, it's clearly a very low budget KBL, I didn't expect very much of it. The sub were somewhat alright at least! Well, except the last episode but maybe it's because it was just released ? I don't know I didn't watch the previous one as they were.

Anyway, not really much to say. If you are tempted to watch it, like I said, keep your expectation low and probably without turning your brain on. :P

6/10

I wish I didn't saw the synopsis tbh. Like I was: "What hearing & memory lose ? He seems fine to me." So all along I was wondering if he would have another accident that lead to those issue. But it doesn't seem the case either in the end.

It's quite confusing as now, he does seem to have lost his memory but not really ? Like in the flashback he seems to have went to her at some point after the accident (in the snowy scene) so he didn't "forget" her and as far as I know he doesn't seem to have hearing aid but when he encounter her in the studio he seems to have an "episode" where the sound was blurry.

So yeah, all this episode I tried to make sense of this synopsis more than anything and it annoyed me quite a bit.

BUT, that being said, it was still good. I will just forget the synopsis (or any expectation I had when I read it) and just enjoy the show more naturally now.

The manager followed "advice" from the actor to invest into what he recommended to gain quick money. For that he borrowed money from loan shark with his agency as collateral. And then when it was discovered that what he invested was a scam, he lost all of it.

Peoples seems to be quite harsh on this one. I personally enjoyed the first episode. The story is compelling as AI related stuff aren't as Sci-fi nowadays - give it 5 to 10 years (or even less tbh) and those "AI dating app" could become true. Not that I think it would be a good thing but anyway.

As for the main lead, they seem solid and their characters don't irk me the wrong way like some. I'm really curious about their backstory especially the FL that seems to need a VR mom or can't meet peoples more than 1h for some reason.

That being said, it's a K-Romance. Didn't know it was needed to be said but yeah, it will have those usual cliché moments that EVERYONE of them have. Don't know why some peoples here seem this surprised about it. If you dislike it, avoid every K-Romance for your mental health I would say.

Oh... So it was his father that was lurking around them. Completely forgot about that matter.

They can have more than one issue. Or even add side plot. I don't mind them being officially together at the finale episode - it's really common in J-Drama for some reason so I'm use to - BUT you cannot make a 11 episodes drama with just that plot line without being redundant at some point.

Like they don't even have deep background so far - no family, their job or hobby are barely exploited, their friends are just background prop that just make some noise from time to time and even their personality isn't that memorable (No real quirk or trauma).

Don't get me wrong, I like slice of life or slow burn romance but I expected a little more than just "Be my BF - No, I want a BFF" even if the premise was really good, I hope it will evolve at some point.

It's good but ngl the plot is just going around in circle for 4-5+ episodes now. I mean, we will not have this "I want us to stay bestfriend" issue until the end, right ? The preview seems to indicate it's still the same issue all over again. But it's also probably because I don't understand the logic behind it. He claim that he want nothing to change between them when in fact, it already did when you see how he react to him. It's clear that their "friendship" is ruined and cannot go back at where it was especially since their previous relationship wasn't just friendship to begin with even if they were unaware.

I don't want to drop this but if the plot is just this back & forth between him saying "I want us to be boyfriend" and him saying "I want us to stay bestfriend" until the finale episode, I will probably drop this beforehand. :/

So far no. But ML is still lying about his origin to FL so we don't know if they will split when she will learn the truth.

Xie Youg Er isn't from a "different universe", she is a character in the OG novel, the one ML transmigrated into. FL transmigrated into a "reboot" of the OG novel several year later. So ML & FL come from the same place.

Yeah... It's fine but it isn't great. The whole reason of the sister-in-law vendetta isn't strong enough to be justifiable or to fell empathy toward her like they tried to do. Yes, she lost a lot in the accident. But it was that, an accident. I can understand not wanting to deal & cut tie with her in-law - especially the ML - after such event but that's it. Her allegation of "murder" are even more ridiculous. She need therapy and the fact that nobody seems to care about her mental health is quite something... Especially from her own daughter.

She that act like she have no clue whatsoever and stay passive like she was some background character without story. She is just a cheerleader for the main couple & that's it. She will probably have her moment near the end but 12 episode where she is a key character from the "main antagonist" but all along she have absolutely nothing going on. It just doesn't work for me.

And lastly, we have the pregnancy. It's clearly a plot device barely exploited. She had morning sickness one time, one ultrasound & some trauma related to her own mother and... that it. Instead we get another Office Romance like we had seen countless time before. I really don't know why they completely shifted the focus on that...

Anyway, like I said, it isn't THAT bad. It's decent but highly disappointing.

Really love this but some detail are a bit confusing for me (or I missed them). All three are transmigrator except the Prince Duan, right ? Xie Yong Er while being one is still a character from the novel, right ? The fact she come from "City A" and like a boy bands unknown to FL seems to indicate that. So far I think I'm good but the thing that confuse me is the ML.

ML came in the story much earlier than FL. In a kid body. Was he also a kid at that time in the "real world" ? Or was he already adult ? Because the only detail about it was that he was in a class (Math ?) and it didn't give College vibe but more about high schooler class kind of vibe.

But... At some point they will go back in reality and I don't see how the "romance" could be translated if well, you know, ML became his former self, a high schooler when FL is already in her late 20. But maybe the "back to reality" will never happen in the end as they hinted quite a few time that they are maybe themselves characters (well, it's right from your PoV).

Maybe I'm wrong - well, I hope I am tbh as I was already a bit disappointed by a recent drama that have a similar issue: FL went back 30+ year in the past to "save" her mother but encounter her former "Uncle" (not blood related but he raised her) and they both fell in love. It didn't go well when she went back to the present for obvious reason.

Not to the point of having a harem but the fact that yes, the love triangle is almost systematic in K-Romance is very tiring. When it isn't FL/ML/SML it's ML/FL/SFL but most of the time ? It's both. To be fair, most romance have those but they don't take as much space or screen time.

Ngl, at first I didn't recognize him. I was like "Who is this ? A secret lover ?" especially when those doctors gave him the side eye. It's only later when they said the made him disguise himself as the Emperor that it clicked. :P

It's a solid Rom-Com but overall, it was quite plain. The plot is a bit whatever. The side characters are forgettable (& some were just straight up annoying). But it's still a 8.5/10 for me because I literally fell in love with ML character and the couple they form with FL.

So yeah, it's completely biased here. But regardless, it was still a enjoyable watch.

Weird. For some reason this drama isn't available in my country (France) on Youtube anymore. I watched the 1st episode two week ago without issue but now, it isn't even available anymore for example. First time I saw that happening personally. Anyone know why is it hapenning ? The most obvious reason is that it's licensed on another platform but again, first time it happen when a Youtube version is available.

Those line in the final: "Your perfect day ? The day Jeong Yeon is entirely in my arm" & "You... Jeong Yeon... you've become perfectly mine".

Can we agree that it's a bit... creepy ? Especially since now they have revealed the purpose of the second experiment: To make Jeong Yeon completely fell in love with him. The fact that Jeong Yeon is already aware of it & is completely volunteer in the process doesn't change the intent of Yu Geon: Trick him with some manipulation technique to gain what he want.

And Jeong Yeon, my boy. He saw all the red flag and still think "Actually, I'm into it!" like when he confessed that he actually enjoyed being observed the way he was in the first experiment. Enough that he was completely fine with whatever Yu Geon was doing to him in the second one & even welcome it.

To me, it felt more like two peoples being obsessive about each others than in love. But like I said, in this story, at least they match each others. ^^'
