I agree with your review and I almost dropped it for pretty much the same reasons but I stuck with it and it went through more clichés then ended as expected. Quite disappointed.

I agree that the final result wasn't worth the effort. It literally was like a lightbulb moment for the FL. It gave us the feels but it wasn't like we earned it.

Thank you, appreciate your comment.

I was very tempted to drop it too but I hung in there. It was an uncomfortable watch. Too tropey and some questionable plots just to stir things up. Not what I expected.

Yes, I agree with what you are saying as well but that's the problem. The writer-nims will have to go all in and maroon BH completely in the past but they didn't. They played the middle path and had a bet each way. In that sense, it was hard for them to keep everyone happy. As I mentioned, they got it to work but it was a fairly uninspired solution, harmless but not very satisfying. The flip side is that if they did maroon him then the narrative becomes a chicken or the egg type of problem for them. Is the show about the So Yong/Cheoljong pairing or we are just going for a wild ride with alternative history? They will have to make the show into a sci-fi romp. It is an intriguing idea. :)
Another thing that has been bugging me is that most Asian writers don't handle time travel well. They love to use it as a tool but they will either ignore any time travel effects or cherry pick something that will help the plot but only the plot. I don't trust them to handle time manipulation on the grand scale. This is from someone who is a long time fan of Dr Who. ;)

Thank you. Appreciate your comment. I would certainly recommend you to read reviews on c-drama before committing as they are generally longer and quality can be more patchy. However, when they are good, they are very good. :)
