Adding from my previous message... Like i understood that the message of the k-drama being that you can choose your own faith, but it couldve been excuted beautifully if more care was taken into the script.

Honestly all of the negative comments are correct. The ending wasnt necessarily bad, but the way the story progressed was so incredibly flawed. Episodes 10-13 were by far the worst, its like the writter cant decide weather they want a romantic comedy or a thriller. It felt like when you are scrolling on tiktok, and one video is about war in the middle east, but the next is a funny cat video. Scenes where there just for the sake of it, villains especially were added just because they felt like it. But to spoil it all her grandma dies and pretends to have dementia but at the same time actually has it? She travels back in time to save cha se-gye by saving the crown prince to sever her faith, theres a scene where she tells the crown prince she found another man so he has to live, saves him from an assasination attempt, and enters a comma/limbo of peace, but is magically brought out of it by cha se-gye's love and desperation. And then all of a sudden choi mun-do is defeated by se-gye, but its like he had all the evidence the whole time, and was just letting him kill all those people and defame him, attempt to muder his grandpa, shin seo-ri, and him, and lord knows what else? There was no actual turning moment for cha se-gye to get the upper hand, it just happened when he felt like actually doing something about it (sure, he was working with the other girl, but like thats it? they show a 1 minute conversation of that and boom choi mun is finished). And the girl that poisoned seo-ri, her motivations were never actually elaborated, they just put her there for the sake of the plot and her unlocking her memories. So many scenes were wasted on forced depth and flat humour that could have been used to actually elaborate the plot. Oh, and when she goes back to the past, it magically changed with like no explanation at all, just for the sake of the plot. And somehow, the original jeoson girl returns to her body, pretends to be a man, and falls in love the the crown prince? I could go on for days... I dont know what the writter was on seriously. Watch at your own disclosure. Maybe if you are 12 years old you might enjoy it.

A plot wasted on bad writting. The first episode had so much potentential, but it all went downhill as the story progressed. Choi Mun-do was the best actor, but his character lacked depth despite having a "backstory". Villains just for the sake of villainism. Horribly written characters. Acting was, well... By episode 14 I was like, wtf? When dramas are unpredictable, its either beautiful plot writting or just ridiculoussness, and this drama was the latter. Straight 14 episodes of rage baiting viewers. I want my 16 hours back.
