Average time travel cringe romcom with historically inaccurate FL

This drama disappointed me even though I was very much looking forward to it. I have cringed multiple times while seeing the FL act the way she does.

The ML is acting okay but he doesn't have a meaty character for a good first half of the show. His character is palatable but there are times when the director and writers have demanded him to act like a full blown anime which is hard to watch.

The FL DOESN'T ACT LIKE HISTORICAL CONCUBINES at all . "Park's marriage contract" is a decent example of how even an average joseon citizen adapts to the modern world. More finesse is expected from a concubine WHO HAS SURVIVED PALACE POLITICS. She doesn't have the tact and cunning charm of the old school concubines who know how to MANIPULATE people. Instead, she acts like a spoiled bratty princess/prince who has grown up with a silver spoon and cannot bend the knee even for her own good.

Of course, these things are done to give the drama a colorful and funny flavor but I feel that it gets somewhat irritating after a while. I think the problem is with the writing and direction because i believe that the actress had quite the range to give justice to any character.
