synopsis alone puts me off watching it; I don't like dramas where protagonist has the "possibility of returning to modern times." ending probably won't please me.—even though I like the lead actress

It’s an initial misunderstanding, but it doesn’t last long enough to become a problem; people are blowing it out of proportion, and things get better with time.

Is anyone else finding that other guy who’s constantly all over the female lead annoying? We already have the male lead—did we really need another guy? It seems so out of place to me, and he isn't even an interesting character. I am literally skipping every scene he appears in.

Up to episode 3, the most absurd part was the misunderstanding in episode 1. Aside from that, the situation is odd; he doesn't remember her, so he doesn't understand the reason for the hostility.

As for the reason why the character changed so much... Well, there is certainly a backstory behind some of the male protagonist's behaviors.

Well, their relationship gets off to a rocky start due to a misunderstanding, but sooner or later they’ll work things out—though I feel there are some random, over-the-top scenes, like the one in the elevator. I mean, she practically fell into his arms. That scene only serves to help the male lead remember the airplane scene.

Overall, the drama seems good
I find it interesting that so many people are bothered by the male lead.
I have a few criticisms of it, but nothing that bothers me enough to stop watching.
FL isn't perfect, but she is definitely a likable and interesting character.

Want to know the truth?

It doesn't matter whether she could have kept the child or not—none of that matters—because, ultimately, she never wanted that son.
Ya Ke never took responsibility for the child; the boy was merely a tool to cement her status as the principal wife. She could have managed to keep the child with FL help.

I repeat what I said before: the outcome was overly lenient with her. If anyone thinks that was redemption, they are mistaken; even at the end, she abandoning her own son.

is on my list; I started watching it and I'm halfway through.

Thanks for recommendation.

The ending went too easy on Ya Ke; it was meant to be a redemption, but the moment she abandons her son, there is no redemption.
Ya Ke is the worst character; she could have taken the child, but the truth is she didn't care—she never truly cared about the child. Our female lead believed no mother would reject her own son, but she was wrong; Ya Ke never cared about her own son. If she had truly loved her son, she never would have abandoned him and would have found a way to get him out of that place.

This drama started off well and hooked me, but it began to feel tedious in the second half; honestly, I only finished it to see how it ended. 7/10

Yes, in theory, the child stays in the father's home—meaning he would remain with the husband—but Ya Ke knew what the family was like. Given the situation, she *could* have taken the child, but the truth is she didn't care; she never truly cared about the child. Our female lead believed no mother would reject her own son, but she was wrong—Ya Ke never cared about her own son. If she had truly loved her son, she never would have abandoned him and would have found a way to get him out of that place.

I refused to watch this drama; as much as I love the era it's set in, I had a feeling it would have a sad ending—and sure enough, they killed off the male lead at the end.

If I had any doubts, episodes 3 and 4 convinced me to watch this drama; I want to see where this is going and what the outcome will be for FL and ML

Wait, do I have to watch up to episode 20 to realize that things aren't what they seem? The director has serious writing issues—did anyone actually think this was a good idea?

—I mean, "ML and FL fall in love," something happens, "FL 'dies' or disappears for years," and then returns years later as a "sister-in-law or..."... What catches my eye about the drama is the time period in which it's set.

saw the trailer... and I read the synopsis,
and this is the kind of plot that annoys me
I don't know if the drama will be good or not,
but I'd rather not watch it simply because of that kind of plot.

People are so used to it—everything in the media shows us intimate scenes and heavy making-out, and that seems to have become the "norm." So, when they see a drama that goes against that, they complain. I mean, the story is what matters; if the actors can convey the emotion, I don't need to see a scene "spicy"

I'm watching it on Viki, and honestly...
I simply don't understand people's obsession with "kissing scenes."
Like, some people were complaining that they didn't show the kissing scenes—
I mean, sure, it's a nice thing to have, but shouldn't the story be the heart of it?
The criticism should focus on whether or not the actors manage to convey the emotions,
and not on criticizing the lack of explicit kissing scenes
I feel like some people only watch for the make-out sessions;
I'd say they should just watch vertical dramas instead.
Not to mention, If this is the actress's decision, I find it admirable.

I found the drama really interesting and liked the first two episodes; I don't watch that many K-dramas—

I'm dropping it; I got fed up after 15 episodes. Ugh, I can't stand the situation between those two anymore—if only they’d have a decent conversation. I spent many episodes watching the past, only to come back to the "present" and have to deal with this annoying situation of theirs? Yeah, I'm out.

Your point is valid, but it’s a fact that FL dull, and cold. That’s how her character is defined; there’s nothing wrong with people watching, sharing their opinions, and—if they choose—stopping the show, you know? A story needs something to hook me; I don’t like bad endings, but even though I don’t, I watched *Goodbye My Princess* and it’s a really good drama—sad, but good.

I currently have two issues with the story: one is the female lead, and the other is the plot convenience that favors her. doesn't feel like the typical reincarnation story where the lead knows the future and foresees events; most of the time, I get the impression that the script is simply helping her— I like strong female leads who don't let things slide and strike back at those who mess with them, but so far, the drama hasn't hooked me. Does that make it bad? Not at all; for now, I’d rate it as "interesting," but it’s "missing something" to really draw me into the story—though perhaps it will improve as the plot progresses.
