Enjoyable and cheesy, a guilty pleasure of randomness

As you can guess by the title, our male lead is an alien who landed during the Joseon Dynasty period. Three months before his return to his star, he met and fell in love (?) with the biggest Hallyu actress in Korea.

I want to start off by saying that the set up is very well done, I get invested with the leads instantly with iconic personalities. I was very invested with the concept with this drama, being opposite attracts.

At first I wasn't sold on Jun Ji Hyun's character, I feel she's a bit overacting. But as the story goes on, I really settled in with her character and her acting is so charming that i don't even feel it's overacting anymore. She's just this really comical really kind of cheesy actress. She really disappears into this role and contribute to most of my enjoyment. I also enjoy Kim So Hyun's stoic character, even though he's not doing much. I love his forth wall breaking scene in the latter part of the story. However, the romance later on was lackluster, I dislike how he treated her and being ridiculously secretive towards her about his identity

Besides the leads, the suspense elements within the show actually really surprised me. I think there are many moments where I'm genuinely hate our main villain. Although I wasn't appreciative that this villain was really one note, I don't understand the motivations for being a villain. Without giving any spoilers, the ending is very weird, I believe they can do better.

PS: The OST is very good, especially the main song "My Destiny" is beautiful but it's very overused in the later episodes.
