An Exquisite Experience With Weirdly Endearing Characters!!
What happens when a royal nemesis from the past collides with a villain from the present?
This was my first time watching Heo Nam Jun play a positive role, also my first time watching Im Ji Yeon. I was quite unsure of their chemistry, or how the story would shape up, given the fact that they both play characters who give off weird antagonist vibes. Who would think that a legendary villainess from the past would be paired opposite a bratty heir. Im Ji Yeon embodies the very soul of Kang Dam Sim, the First Ranked Royal Consort who was unfairly executed by poison. In her dying moments, her soul is transported to the future with the help of her loyal shaman. Landing in the 21st century, she creates chaos when she has an unexpected encounter with Cha Se Gye, an equally arrogant and cold-hearted chaebol. Instead of acting shocked, she thanks the heavens for a new chance at life and adapts to this new situation where she decides that Cha Se Gye will be her new backer. Poor Se Gye has no choice but to follow the will of this crazy woman who turns his life upside down.
