He fell first... anddddd then just fell harder

The leads and their chemistry was truly so amazing❤️‍🔥. I thought they deserved a quick review of praise.

The story is what got me intrigued first, since I haven't watched a good Joseon era time slip with a new plot kdrama in many many years. Then the romantic comedy-like aspect of the first few episodes was really great. They had me laughing, especially our beautiful Lim Ji Yeon. Her comedic acting was hilarious! She embodied this character so so well. Especially after seeing her act in such drastically different roles. I'm glad she had fun with this one.

The male lead, Heo Nam Jun, was OUT OF THIS WORLD. This is my first time watching him as a lead, as he only recently has been getting main roles, and I honestly did not think he was attractive. Frankly, my opinion was neither positive nor negative, I just didn't have enough experience watching him. But his character was written MARVELOUSLY, playing the bad boy image who is very rich and successful (a great plus) and stoic in forming relationships with anyone. I don't want to give anything away, so I'll just say: watching him go from IDC who you are to I WILL WATCH THE WORLD BURN FOR YOU was really sweet.

Their chemistry? Fire 🔥
The plot? Also fire 🔥
Side characters? Just as great 🔥

I would not rewatch it though. NOT because it wasn't a great kdrama, but because it's one of those shows you invest yourself into and then leave it as a nice memory in your past. But again, I rarely rewatch dramas, so this could mean nothing.

Watch it! I do wish they explored the other characters, like his family, a tad bit more.. and I guess another "downside" was that it's only 14 episodes D: I could watch 18-20 easy. Maybe show their past lives a bit more idk. Still loved it. Probably will go to bed now dreaming of him.
