Has its own issues, but except few instances does a "strong FL character" trope right!!
Overall, should be an 8.1-8.2 show, but MDL with its no one knows algo has somehow rated this below "Melody of Goden Age"
What to expect:
`1. Maybe an obvious ending considering the theme.
2. Decent story and character development with some hint of mystery
3. Good acting - at least the main characters
4. Annoying side characters - to some extent romantically
5. Strong FL who makes mistakes but redeems herself, a sacrificing ML (FL centric drama so thats kinda expected) - Unlike most other cdramas that want to portray a strong female but make her just strong in ignoring the ML , this one does a pretty good job where FL is strong both physically, mentally and morally. People might question her spending time with SML who wanted to kill ML earlier, which is a valid point but once she realizes the threat (and that she wants to try it out with ML) she starts giving no fucks about him. Hence a good, strong redeeming FL character. She actually acts like a modern FL as she should whenever she is allowed to do so.
What not to expect:
1. Its not a spectacular show, it has its own issues but seemed to be as a good show among shittier 2024.
2. Eye candies - I don't care about this, so no further comments
3. Smart side characters - well we rarely get these but this one has a little bit too many annoying side characters
4. Doesn't get annoying at any moment. It does at some bits after episodes 20, but everything has a reason which gets resolved in 1-2 episodes.
I would definitely recommend this to anyone in for a good watch, way better than anything else airing rn but yeah some people might not like the overall theme of going to ancient time and coming back.
