criiinge !
The forced comedy is so cringe I couldn’t take it ! I finished because I rarely drop a drama and I really love time travel stories but… I felt like there was no chemistry between the leads, he is winning the whole time, supposed to be this genius ceo, self made man, but he falls in love in a second with a woman he met 2 times and both were bad experiences, it makes no sense, and then stays as a useless love sick puppy the rest of the episodes… I have nothing against a love sick male lead but it has to make sense ! She on the other hand has no character building at all, there is kind of a montage of her learning of the modern world through tv at one point if I remember well… but no change comes from it… even her speech doesn’t adapt or evolve when she’s supposed to be getting used to modern Korea. her backstory would make her the queen of adapting to her environment, she’s supposed to have been a slave, then a court lady, then a concubine or lady of some sort ? then she should be able to adapt the way she addresses others depending on the situation ? but she never does, she keeps being rude and out of touch, never evolving, never adapting…These could be seen as details but it made the whole thing incredibly cringe for me and I couldn’t really enjoy it in the end.
Not everything is bad, I watched the series to the end, but the defaults are what I remember at the end of the day.
