200 Year Gap with Same Characters
I watched this with an open mind knowing it as another time travel thing. But what I can't quite make out of the story is that whether Tae Ha is in Joseon or in the New Joseon, he has a heart problem. What are the odds of being reborn with the same condition, same family ties, same political and family conflicts?
What is the consolation of watching this?
For one is the development of the two characters - Kang Tae Ha and Park Yeon Won. In Joseon, they started off a bit at odds but eventually grew closer. But transitioning to the present, the two lead characters were not really in good terms until they get to know each other little by little. I like the modern hanbok created, very inspiring to see that they are able to carry on a traditional dress with a modern flair without losing the main elements. I am glad that Sal Wo found love in the modern world and does not need to return to Joseon.
I am glad that Yeon Won was able to use her talent in the modern era without the restrictions placed in Joseon.
I agree with some of the comments of other viewers with regard to Tae Ha's half-brother. I couldn't really figure out at first if he was just interested in Yeon Won, or just one lousy acting. The villains did their part well, even the girl who likes Tae Ha but has been used by the grandfather.
The ending seems rushed. I wondered that as Yeon Won fell into the sea, how come she did not come back in the same dress and in the water? How come Tae Ha's heart got miraculously healed in the absence of Yeon Won. Will his heart again fail when she returned? How come if the ending shows they are getting married for real that there are no attendees? What will happen then to Yeon Won's family after she fell to the ocean? Will the diary of her mom have a different log? Why oh why? are they out of budget already? Why was there no welcome party since so many people were waiting for her in the modern world? Something does not really click in the ending.
I wonder if they can make a time travel thing that has no similar character to the other world and it is in a different country? what would that look like?
