Inspiring even thought it was all a dream
Xia Xiao Lan went through so much. Felt it for her. Even though she was having a hard time in the present life, especially with work, you can see that she was lonely. When she transmigrated into the 80s, I am glad she remembered the future and with how Xia Xiao Lan was living in that time, she was determined to be strong and wanted to make her life as well as her family better. I always like a strong FL and she was determined to change and build that era. Despite what happened in her real era, she was determined, even though it was a dream to do all the things she wanted to do and make a name for herself.I dont even want to talk about her father's side of the family - a bunch of greedy parasites. even at the end, her dad couldnt stand them anymore but I am also glad that he didnt disturb their lives they has built out of the village.
I think Xia Xiao Lan and Xia Xiao Lan had great chemistry and oh how they can communicate with each other. LOVED THAT!.
They both wanted a different career and they supported each other.
Fast forward to the ending....I feel bad to complain but I didnt like it that much š©
If Xia Xiao Lan didnt have the same dream as Xia Xiao Lan, I noticed that she could have been the guy she was with during her university days.....
But the interaction looked weird to me like he if he was really the guy she stopped seeing, why didnt she try to find him on the internet? (since she remembered him from the dream and assuming they look alike) and he was all smiles when he spoke to her and not a surprised/hurt look because of what happened during the university days. Just my opinion š© the ending wasnt it for me.

It was okay and had its cute moments
I had dropped this and picked it back up just as filler or a drama I play in the background while working.Lin Yi acting is always a slow burn vibe and comes off boring to me. Dont get me wrong, its just my opinion. The drama itself was just okay and it had its cute moments.
I can say the ending was good as I always like to see their progress in life.

Oh the tears!
Grab your tissue for this one. I liked it. As first when I saw the trailer I was skeptical and thought that its weird watching an old lady and a younger guy.I am glad I watched it. nothing was weird. I liked their dynamics and also the plots like who would that thought she wasnt actually human but emotions???.
They are so devoted to each other and I like that.

Great love story in the 70s if you ask me
I was so intrigued to watch this drama with an open mind. I loved the concept and the costumes were on point! I love they made reference to real historical events that happened.The chemistry between Fang Mu Yang and Fei Ni was really good.
There are so many other characters to mention but I want you to watch it for yourself.
BUT OH HOW THE GREAT AND MIGHTY HAS FALLEN!!!! Not because you have a high status makes you better that anyone else and Feng Lin???? Gosh, she put her nose in Fang Mu Yang and Fei Ni business - things that should not concern her.
She deserved what she got.
WHAT I WANTED TO SEE....But maybe its just me being greedy....
I thought that, we would have gotten a present day clip of how old they are now and maybe telling their grandkids their story from the 70s, etc....think it would have a nice touch.
That is just my opinion

A decent drama
I think it was a decent drama and the body swapping reminded me of The First Night with the Duke but I still enjoyed it.Eun Jo and Yi Yeol chemistry was good. I did like the mystery part about finding out who Hong Gil Dong was. I wish there was more of Hong Gil Dong and the fighting.
I was hoping they would have cleared her dad's name and maybe she would have had a high status...but she decided to be the side chick....
Well I like the fact that their descendant met in the present time lol or should I say, they met in the next life...

Good family drama
I am not sure if I have watched any dramas before with the leads (too lazy to look) but you know this drama was light and easy to watch. I always like a family drama with getting married, having kids or blended family, etc...The kids did an amazing job and you know even though this was like a contractual marriage that turn into love, you will always find those "bad person" character that will try and mess up their lives.
I mean overall, it was good and their chemistry was great.

A good rom-com
I enjoyed this rom-com. There is no love triangles. Just two people meeting and liking each other.I find it hilarious how strong Seon Jae Gyu is and though he likes Yun Bom he didnt overstep his boundaries.
KNowing that, Choi I Jun didnt make it difficult for them nor tried to stop them from being together and I like that. It showed respect.
Choi Se Jin, was the character I hated. She is very very very selfish. You will see why. Seon Han Gyeol has a soft spot for her and I would jeopardize my education for anyone....

love the bond they all have.
I love the bond they all have. Everyone has their own path and interest. They support each other and try to be there for one another and that is exactly how Song I and Tae O relationship is.It took a while for them to realize their own feelings that it was more than just case they had for one another.
Do Hyeon red flags were just growing and growing for me.
If they had decided to stay together, I know for sure he would not be 100% happy because of his insecurities.
Like he knew they were friends since 3.
I am glad Song I and Tae O were able to be honest with each other and enjoy their relationship even more now.

Friendship, Love, Family
I kept skipping over this on netflix for the longest time and finally just clicked on it as a "filler" while I was working but it got my attention!!! I regret not watching this years back.The part where Choi Hun was hearing a night gown and heels is always on TikTok and I finally got to see where they got the clip from.
The drama is about friends in their early 20s going to university and navigating their life, friendships and families.
Each one had their own path, own interest and somehow they still have a strong bond.
I understand the relationship between Yun Tae O and Han Song I. Their minds werent really thinking that far into what they already have...but when Do Hyeon came into the pic, Song I took that step towards him as she felt it was the right thing to do.
At first, I actually thought Do Hyeon and Song I were good together until I realized some little red flags.

similar to Bon AppƩtit, Your Majesty
Why did they have to use a similar ending like Bon AppƩtit, Your Majesty???I admit, it was cute, mature and no silly acting. I always like these "time travel" fantasy dramas.
Lin Huan Er and Hai Ming had great chemistry.
Before she passed out, she met and saw the guy (potential buyer of their company).
After she woke up in the novel, she said "It's you" meaning she remembered his face before she went live....and obviously he would not recognize her.
Okay now enjoying their encounters and how their connection was developing fast forward to the end, when she disappeared from his eyes, he was still able to see her through the pager??? Doesn't make sense to me.
And when she woke up in her current world (2025), she didnt remember to ask about the potential buyer that came in the company???
She was there "searching" for someone who didnt exist...like she forgot this was all in a novel.
I feel like the spent too much time in the novel, the last episode should have been waking up and he was still in the company and maybe exchange a few words...something
OR have a better ending than this....this was so Bon AppƩtit, Your Majesty coded at the end....
Overall, it was still a good drama and those points are the only things why it is not a solid 9 pr 10 for me.

A good historical rom-com
It was a nice historical rom-com. They kinda make mention of āfutureā dramas and doing āfutureā practices but it was funny to see them all.The comedy part made it more fun to watch.
I always like watching and hearing Kim Young Dae slightly lispā¦find it cute anyways. Both leads had great chemistry and even itās always the norm in these dramas to see an outgoing FL and a more sticker ML, it was still interesting to watch their dynamics.
I lowkey felt bad for Lee Shin Won but oh well he still got his happy ending.
Love the bonus with the 2 kidsā¦.I am assuming that the boy is Shin Wonās son and the girl is for So Rangā¦.
How cute would it be if they had a spin off.

Light and had its charms
This was a very light drama and was easy to finish. Nothing much for the plot but it is still an okay drama.For me, it was a little boring-ish even though the episodes were short.
The leads had good chemistry and I like that no one was acting silly.
They could have let us see them graduate and going on their lives too.

Beautiful and Charming
This wasn't bad at all. I enjoyed and love Xiao Zhan and Yang Zi dynamic in this one. I think this is my first time watching Zhan in a modern drama.I love how Lin Zhi Xiao and Gu Wei / Dr. Gu developed over time even though she was way younger, they didnt let age stop them for finding love.
It is always nice seeing 2 different opposites falling for each other.
Their kissing scenes weren't bad at all but you won't get any bed scenes just a FYI.
It had its funny scenes which I enjoyed, especially with the box of condoms LOL in the room.
I loved the ending and the wedding came off very natural and I am happy they gave us 7yrs later to see them with their own little family.

Sweet and charming...But
the FL character came off not too strong nor weak...and they dressed her like she was extremely poor for a doctor not to mention her hair....like she has 1 hairstyle even her birthday and dates? That's crazy. EVEN her black shoes and white socks šShe only started dressing a little better and her hair well groomed in the last 2 1/2 episodes...
I love a action romance drama and it was nice seeing them doing their jobs. It kinda reminded me of "Fireworks of my Heart" with the firefighter and doctor and there was an earthquake as well.
So the episodes leading up to maybe was good and fun to watch but after that, it was draggy for me.
This was also a very innocent drama...hardly any kissing scenes...so you are telling me, after so long, they weren't intimate?
I dont know though, this pairing was okay and their chemistry seemed a bit more friendly on screen than "couple" vibes.
Also in most dramas, the second leads usually get together really quick, these two, got together closer to the end.

Strong and smart leads!
This was a good watch! I always love a strong, ambitious and sensible FL and Shen Wan / Qin Wan was just like that. Not to mention a strong ML too. I love their chemistry on screen.I am a fan of mystery and solving cases so this was enjoyable.I love when she is performing her autopsies and everyone is just in awe of how amazing her skills her and Yan Chi couldn't get enough of her LOL.
It was sweet and an easy watch!
