I gave this drama two tries. I dropped it the first time because of bad subbing, and it seemed too superficial for me to get into. There was something about the way she reacts when she time travels that kind of killed it for me.

But a few years later, I gave it another shot, and this time it took. Besides better subs, hanging in there for a few more episodes gave me a better understanding of her mindset. She genuinely considers this all a vacation and doesn't take anything seriously. Trust me when I say that changes. Her relationship with the lead is complicated. First it's light, but as time goes on and they have to rely on each other more, the viewer is rewarded with a couple that you KNOW is really in love with each other. They don't just say it. They prove it.

That being said, the story could be a bit uneven toward the end. It's like another drama. Still, I liked the second female lead (comes in way at the end), who wasn't just plain evil; she was complex, and I felt for her.

Great acting, laugh out loud in some places, a couple to envy, but not without its flaws.
