Ok, so this isn't the best drama, but I just had to watch it for So Ji Sub. This drama is a time travel story where a Princess from historical Korea era travels through time to 2003. It is pretty interesting concept and somewhat different than the time travel dramas that have been currently airing.

Sung Yu Ri plays the Princess and I think she does a pretty good job of portraying a time traveler. She did as well as the boys from Rooftop Prince. So Ji Sub plays a general in the historical part and a fashion designer in 2003. He is the love interest in both time periods. I just love him and I think he did a good job acting even back then. Kim Nam Jin took me by surprise. He plays a general that is the enemy of the Princess in historical times and the heir of the lead Japanese family in 2003, Fujiwara Tatsuji. Why hasn't this guy done anything since 2008??? I thought he was good for his debut drama. I wish he was still acting.

The music is ok.

I probably won't rewatch it.

It is an older drama, so the sets and production is a little lacking, but I think that it is an interesting drama to watch.

An Entitled Princess

A princess traveling to the future is a decent concept that allows for a big playground to take it in all kinds of directions, however, in this iteration the drama somehow managed to craft the scummiest kind of setups, sucking out any sense of engagement or enjoyment which made the story plain bad. It's such a simple concept that could've been exercised easily into an appealing package. Anyway, I appreciate the 2000s aesthetics with the scuffed tailor shop and the gangsters, a quick nostalgia dose. The drama was one of Sung Yoo Ri's earliest works and she has come a long way since then. The cast had a good selection of members, of which, nowadays, some retired or passed away, rest in peace Lee Sun Kyun. It's unfortunate seeing them involved in this drama but at least they made it more worthwhile.

A twist on a normal love story

This drama starts off in a historical context, then it moves into the more current world. Although, this is a concept previously done in dramas like Scarlet heart, faith ect.. this drama really moved me.

The female lead seems weak at first but she does have some character development towards the end (not a lot though). The two male leads are domineering in their own ways, it was nice to see the contrast between their past selves and current.

The emotions were running high throughout the whole drama, but there was a small ammount of comedy from the gang. They were comic relief and by the end of the drama you end up loving all them.

There weren’t a lot of filler episodes but I feel like some characters were just irrelevant like the second female lead, she was jarring at points and I didn’t really understand her importance in parts of the story.

I would definitely rewatch! If anyone is hesistant I’d say give it a go because it is really entertaining but also heavy with emotions
