Forced trope and lack of character development
I don't think I'm the right person to analyze the story since I dropped it after three chapters, but from what I saw, it's hard to understand how a character can be so complex.I mean, when the protagonist spoke with that traumatized tone, as if she still didn't understand the situation she was in, you might say it was obvious because she suffered a traumatic event after seeing her father d* before her eyes, or being poisoned by her own husband or accused of betrayal. But she struck me as a weak character, lacking in backbone, or perhaps harboring deep-seated personal grudges that blinded her to what was right in front of her. The people around her praise her, portraying her as intelligent, as someone who reasons, who understands what's going on around her. But if the plot hadn't given her the chance to return to a point of no return, she might have gone down in history as the most foolish protagonist ever.
But as I said, it's not for me to judge the way something is written because I got bored very quickly. All the other characters seemed very boring to me. The protagonist caught my attention, but the excessive use of red made me nauseous. EVERYTHING, seriously, everything is red. I don't know who was in charge of the set design, but if there had been a variety of colors to express not just anger or disappointment with red, maybe I would consider continuing it.
Oh, and I'm not complaining about the acting; in fact, I liked how they portrayed the protagonist. I mean, I love his bad-boy, troubled vibe (which obviously puts him in a stereotype), but there's something that doesn't quite convince me, and maybe it's the excessive use of CGI. Perhaps they'll improve it in later episodes or change things that aren't noticeable in the first few. But it's often said that the first few episodes are essential for a story to be engaging, and I firmly believe that this is as much as I could give. Thanks, story, but I don't think you're for me.

I'm sorry it took me so long to see it
I think this series can be defined in three words: beautiful, fresh, and endearing.When I started watching it, I didn't have many expectations; in fact, I was trying to break out of a viewing block because I seriously couldn't watch anything without getting bored. But it wasn't just an episode or two; I found the whole thing entertaining. The way the protagonist relates to her mother, how she finally accepts that her father was never a bad person, just misunderstood, but above all, I'm grateful for that edit I watched on TikTok that allowed me to enjoy this series!!
I think one of the most important things is the relationship between the protagonists. At first, I didn't like the male lead a little, maybe because he seemed so arrogant, and the female lead was also a bit naive and didn't realize she wasn't in her own time anymore.
But maybe if I were in an accident and suddenly saw people dressed in 80s clothes, I'd think they were on a themed film set or there was an event nearby. Anyway, maybe I'll rewatch it sometime in the near future, but I don't think it will be anytime soon. And...
I also thought the way the protagonist's parents' relationship developed was very sweet, how the father always tried to protect the girl he liked, or even when he was in danger, how the girl went almost immediately to save him (even putting herself at risk). The killer's plot was also super interesting; it's a shame I spoiled who it was, but if I hadn't seen the spoilers, I think it would have affected me just as much. I really believe the saying that appearances can be deceiving.
I definitely enjoyed this series a lot!
Oh, and one more thing to add, this has been one of my favorite series starring the main actress, along with Teach You a Lesson, honestly one of my favorites.

El valor que le damos a las cosas
Cuando vi el anuncio de que IU y Bogum trabajarian en un proyecto juntos estuve muy emocionada, quizá porque sabía la calidad que tendría el proyecto o tal vez porque Jieun no elige cualquier producción.Esta serie, transmitió en mi tantos sentimientos, tristeza, dolor, pérdida, alegría, felicidad y amor.
A veces creemos que el tiempo que tenemos es ilimitado pero no siempre es así.
Aprender a valorar a tus seres queridos, entender la importancia de la gente y como nos relacionamos. Esto me enseñó esta serie.
Agradezco el momento en que esta serie llego a mi vida porque de esa forma, pude ver el trabajo que mi mamá hizo al criarme y las cargas que mi abuela tenía al criar a 11 niños.
Todas como mujeres tenemos dificultades, enfrentamos problemas que nos hacen cuestionar lo poco igualitaria que es la sociedad y cómo eso afecta en nuestro trabajo.
Pero, no solo quiero hablar sobre la representación de los problemas sociales, sino sobre la apreciación de la escenografía, los panoramas que nos muestran y los diferentes contextos de las personas en su oficio.
