Fresh Take on Time Travel Romance
A solidly written, superbly acted, and overall enjoyable drama.
I loved the story line, and our FL, as in every drama she’s in, delivered to perfection. The story was engaging from beginning to end, drawing you in with its mysterious fantasy elements blended with a solid rom-com. I loved the aspect of her finding herself as a woman free to chase her dreams in the new age while still having to unlearn the toxic patriarchal values she had been raised in. It made it incredibly rewarding when her dreams come true in “New Joseon”.
Wasn’t overly impressed with the ML. I found his character pretty dislike for the first six episodes… which is half the drama. But he redeems himself, and I ended up really liking them as a couple.
I also struggled with how the ending played out. Did not love the struggle the Joseon Kang Tae-Ha had to experience, and her unrequited love for him was hard to watch after I fell in love with him in Episode 1. But, in the end, they do give us a happy ending for our couple, and that’s all that matters!
I don’t agree with some of the reviews (personally) that this was the best drama of 2023. However, this one was still a blast. It has excellent chemistry, fresh writing, and a solid cast (both main and supporting). I definitely recommend it!
