Gripping, but not permanently etched in my memory

So I know this is highly rated by many. And I think it was good. But, for me, it did not leave as strong and long-lasting impression as for example "My Dearest", "The Red Sleeve", "Moon embracing the sun" or "Empress Ki". OK, they are not exactly the same genre, as the other ones I mentioned are more purely historical, and not time-/dimension-travel. But still ... trying to remember back to watching "ML: SHR" it doesn't really trigger anything special for me, like the above-mentioned ones do. It's more just like I remember I enjoyed watching it, and was engrossed while doing so.

It is a while since I watched this, but discovered I hadn't written a review.

Very brief synopsis from my memory and POV:
Modern girl gets transported back in time, ends up entangled with several of the dynasty's princes. There are of course palace intrigues and fight for the succession of the throne, and as more than one prince develops feelings for her, she also becomes a pawn for those pulling strings and scheming for power. Will she find love and happiness, or will she manage to travel back to her own time?

As for the story, it was well written. There are quite a lot of characters, so I am glad I had the opportunity to almost binge-watch this.
The story has good drive as far as I remember.

As for the cast, most of them were convincing in their roles. I remember Lee Joon Gi as Wang So (the 4th Prince) the best though.
