The Plot theories could be better.
I liked the whole drama and their romantic stories, but the plot of the past was too vague that left a confusing taste.
I liked the main leads a lot, their acting, chemistry and the romance is what made me keep watching the drama. But they could have done a better work with the plot of the past.
I really liked the characters, like how strong the female lead was, how they both depended on each other and strengthened each other. I especially like the dramas where both characters are strong.
But I have a bunch if complain in the plot.
The whole plot seemed like there was 2 different writers wrote the story from 2 different theory and merged it into one which made almost no proper sense.
First theory could be soul swap. If the story was about soul swap between 2 different people with same face from past and present, then the story could make a different sense. The story could be like, Shin Seori had an accident in her childhood and swapped with a soul from past but with same face and then both of them lived their life in different body until Shin Seori in past body died drinking poison and returned to her real body of the present since she is the real owner of the body. Later, when she finally found out that she has no fear of going back they live happily ever after while solving the problems in the present life. And in that case, Se Gye had no reason to have dreams of that prince since it never really held much contribution to the plot.
Second theory could be reincarnation. If the story was about reincarnation, and the whole step up of the past and the future is almost same with similar people, that could make a different sense. The story could be like, Shin Seori for some reason lost the memory of her modern life and got back her past life's memories and mistook herself as a soul coming to a modern world. That could explain how she easily got used to the modern world since deep inside she just lost her memory. Also, while forgetting her trauma of her childhood, she suddenly could act like she used to in her childhood. Then at some point, she finally regained the memories of her modern life and realize that she doesn't need to go back to the past. This could mean that they could not reunite in the past, but they finally did in the present era which would make a lot of sense.
Even if they wanted to bring that ill fate theme into this drama, they could just write a better story. The plot was so messy and made no good sense.
There are more parts that they did not clear in the past life story. Like after the prince's death how did she just ended up as a queen and if she really loved the king or she just couldn't avoid the situation. Since the FL was a proud queen, they should have shown her as queen more than they showed her as a maid.
