Short But Sweet!
I rated this drama a little bit higher than most of the other reviews for it, but that's okay. To each their own! Everyone likes different things and I won't disagree with someone else's opinion, you know? It is what it is.
Now, I will commend the casting department for casting two "older" actors for the lead roles. They're both in their mid-to-late 30s and I really appreciated that. That was different and I found it refreshing. Actually, their chemistry was pretty decent too, if I do say so myself. Good job to the casting team!
This drama falls into the category I like to call 'palate cleansers.' It wasn't too heavy; there weren't a lot of dark themes or constant violence. It was your typical, sanitized, polished, bubblegum pop K-Drama. If you've seen one transmigration story, you've seen them all. But because this was a Korean drama (and not a Chinese drama like I typically watch), the ending was different. That's one of the high points for this drama, as well. There was no weird ending where it was all a dream or where it turned out to be the storyline for the book one of the leads was writing in the real world. No, it was nothing like that. The lead swapped places with the original character from the story and they both decided to stay in their new worlds/lives. The original lead from our world decided to stay in the book and vice versa. Again, I'm a C-Drama girl so I'm not used to these dramas ending this way so I'm still riding the high of that.
However, I will say I enjoyed the first half of this drama a LOT more than the latter half. I found myself skipping through the later episodes and there are still some things I don't know anything about because I skipped past certain scenes. It's almost like I grew tired of watching it, if that makes any sense. I can't explain what happened towards the end; I just wanted to finish the drama and be done with it.
Would I recommend it? Sure. Again, if you want something short but sweet and easy to watch, it's good for that. Would I rewatch it? As of right now, doubtful. I don't see myself rewatching this one. I have my comfort dramas and I don't see this being one of them. Regardless of my feelings for the leads, their chemistry, and the story, I can't find it in me to rewatch this one.
