Fantastic start to the series. Lim Ji Yeon is so good in this role. Loved the comic timing as well as emotional acting as well. Rest of the cast did the good job for a first episode. Let's see how things move forward from here on. It will be chaotic , but might be wholesome hopefully.Fingers crossed.

The show starts off on a very intriguing note. The royal concubine, Kang Dan-Sim, is sentenced to death for attempting to kill the royal consort, the crown prince, and other whatnots. The choice of her execution is poison. Meanwhile, since her promotion to the rank of Bin, the country has suffered from famine, drought, and other difficulties, and a comet has been in the sky throughout that entire period. Well, I already suspect she’s been framed! It feels like some shamanistic rituals were used to cause all those disasters, especially since the show already features so much cosmic energy and forces of nature. 🙄🤔
But long story short—she refuses to drink the potion multiple times... until they finally force it down her throat. 😯 When she draws her last breath, an eclipse darkens the sky and lightning strikes the shaman, who was supposedly performing a ritual to ensure Kang Dan-Sim survived the poisoning. 🤔 And Kang Dan-Sim doesn't die... 🫢
Somehow, she wakes up in modern-day Korea as Sin Seo-Ri, an actress portraying Kang Dan-Sim on a film set in the middle of her execution scene! Even though she is quite disoriented, she soon learns that history has painted her as the villain of the era. During the chaos of her movements through the city, she manages to meet our male lead—the CEO of Biojei, Cha Se-Gye. And what chaos they create! 🤭🤩 The dynamic there is already immensely drawing me in. And the parallels in nature's behaviour between the past and present really hook me as a viewer. 🤗🤭🤪
I am quite sure there’s some larger mystery around those events because nature didn't act normally and I think the accusations were false. Plus, we never saw the King’s face! Only his chin, hidden in half-shadows... That alone creates suspicion. Will we meet the King in modern-day Korea? Maybe they didn't show his face so the viewers wouldn't know who he is yet? 🤔
I must say—the start is great, and I’m already quite invested in the story and characters! 👍😉

Fast-paced, entertaining, and a solid set-up for both of our lead characters: Shin Seo-ri and Cha Se-gye (whose names put together mean A New World aka Shin Se Gye, which I think is cute). Se-gye reminds me of the classic kdrama chaebol trope. He's violent, ill-tempered, and spoiled, but he's also capable at his job, and his stunned reaction to Consort Kang humanized him just enough to make him fairly entertaining to watch. We know just enough of Consort Kang to really feel for her throughout the episode, but there's a lot to her past that I'm still interested in seeing. Clearly, the show is trying to portray her as a misunderstood villain rather than an all out villainess, and while that may be disappointing to some people, I think she still has all the likable qualities of a villainess: unafraid to speak her mind, stubborn in getting what she wants, and uncaring of anyone else's opinion of her.
I laughed at the reference to the "how to date a chaebol" trend that went viral on Korean SNS a while ago. I think the humor thus far is landing pretty well, thanks to both Lim Ji-yeon and Heo Nam Jun, and I'm looking forward to how their chemistry and scenes go from here.
