Wish it stayed as lighthearted as the title
Nice to have a whole family time travel together and seeing how they come to love the ancient time period despite not having proper bathrooms and a dishwashing machine. The comedy was fun and it would have been nice to have a drama stay this way. Since it didn’t, they should have given this drama a less lighthearted title.
When a drama doesn’t engage me fully, I find it hard to overlook plot loopholes especially the biggest one at the end that left me with questions instead of a feel good feeling.
Why did the rest of the family not remember their time travel? Was it because the FL found love there so her heart is tied to the past? If so, who is the ML? Was he a modern day person who dreamt the whole sequence and time travelled the same way as the FL? If so, why didn’t he remember his modern day life when he was in the past?
Or was the ML not a modern day person? He travelled the opposite way from the past? But he mentioned that he woke up from a long dream about the FL… how did he fit into the modern day so fast to be able to find his way to his home dressed in modern clothes? If he time travelled from the past, shouldn’t he be an old man since we saw him grow old there?
As for the business aspect, it was another case of unrealistic business success with some little pitfalls. Also so few people managing the restaurant and there were times it seemed like no one is cooking but yet there was food to be served :D only later did they employ a chef.
Couldn’t really understand why the FL started getting more accessories in her hair and having it so elaborately made up to be super big. Those hairstyles are more in keeping with nobles who have nothing better to do than spend hours each day being made up instead of an entrepreneur who needed to get to her business as fast as possible each day.
The dynamics of the FL’s parents was interesting when they tried to explore the mother falling out of love but unfortunately not well thought out enough on how she fell back in love again - just because the husband showed more commitment to improve himself? That doesn’t help the fact that he didn’t understand his wife which lead to them growing apart.
Glad it was a happy ending though it was the classic 3-second version where they meet and the rest is up to your imagination.
Sidenote: Watched this before Love in the Clouds but didn’t realise I forgot to leave a review until I started When Destiny Brings the Demon and saw the same FL
