When Love Rewrites the Story

I absolutely loved this drama from start to finish! It had me laughing out loud one moment and wiping away tears the next. The main leads (ML & FL) delivered outstanding performances—their chemistry was so natural and believable that it completely pulled me into their world.
The supporting cast shined just as brightly, adding depth and charm to every scene. Each actor played a crucial role in making the story feel alive and layered. And can we talk about the filming locations? Absolutely breathtaking! The historical sites in Korea weren’t just a backdrop—they became a character on their own, giving the entire drama a magical, immersive quality.
Honestly, this is one of those rare dramas where everything just clicks—the acting, the pacing, the visuals, the music. And because this is based on a Webtoon, I can definitely see a second season happening. There’s so much potential left to explore!
A modern-day college student suddenly finds her soul transported into the body of Cha Sun Chaek (Seohyun), a minor character in her favorite historical fantasy web novel. Trying to navigate her new reality, she accidentally gets drunk and collides with Yi Beon (Taecyeon)—the cold, sharp, and impossibly handsome Prince Gyeong Seong, who also happens to be the male lead of the novel.

What should have been a passing encounter takes a shocking turn when, after a drunken night together, Yi Beon insists on marrying her! Alarmed and determined to restore the novel’s original plot, Sun Chaek tries to push Yi Beon back toward Cho Eun Ae (Kwon Han Sol), the intended female lead. But Yi Beon refuses to follow the script, completely rewriting the story with his relentless pursuit of her.

Now, Sun Chaek faces an impossible choice:

Will she manage to return to her own world and set the storyline back on track?

Or will she surrender to fate and carve out a new happy ending with the prince?
This drama is a perfect blend of romance, comedy, and emotional depth. It’s visually stunning, wonderfully acted, and keeps you hooked from start to finish. If you enjoy historical fantasy with a modern twist, this is an absolute must-watch!

I’m hoping for a second season—there’s no way this story ends here.
