They could have done better
I honestly was looking forward to this drama, but it left me disappointed.Heo Nam Jun's acting was excellent. I just didn't like that Lim Ji Yeon was speaking with a Joseon accent for the entire duration, even though she learned the technology and everything; otherwise, her acting was good as well.
The story just did them dirty. They could have finished it in 10 episodes, and a lot of things would have made sense then; I don't know why they had to drag it for 14 episodes. That's what ruined the whole plot.
Too many plot holes, things ignored, details missed out, the same scenario repeated in different scenes, and the drag was awful. I feel like towards the end, they just came up with random scenes to fill the number of episodes. Honestly, a waste of talent and time for the cast. Some scenes were so long for no good reason. And even though it is a fantasy drama, they just did not care about things that they should care about and put effort into making the drama make more sense.
Sad that this didn't meet the expectations of a lot of people. I feel bad for the cast as well. The writers should have done a better job.

A MID RANGED DRAMA
5/10 HONEST RATINGThe cast actually does a great job at delivering the plot. The problem lies in the plot. I was genuinely interested in this drama when it started airing. Waited until it finished to watch it. It left me disappointed. I very rarely would drop a drama when I start watching but I had to drag myself to watch this.
THE PLOT:
Starts off very nicely, and the story is laid out on a good note. Enjoyed the first few episodes, but it started getting very boring after that. I was genuinely sad to see the drop in the plot. The story continued to showcase repetitive sub-stories, and the outcome was the same every single time. I believe it should have been equal wins and losses. Honestly, the story could have concluded with 10/12 episodes. The ending was mid as well and did not showcase the joy, the happiness or the excitement a story should have.
THE CAST:
Genuinely did a good job and portrayed their characters well. I have watched all of Kim Min Ha's dramas, and I think this was the only one she didn't get to showcase her true value. Lee Jun Ho did well for the role but I feel like he keeps doing similar roles and the expressions are very limited. Overall, he showed that he can act. I see more potential in him and he can do much more versatile characters than this.
