One of the best time travel historical drama

Underrated historical c-drama with good looking casts, good acting and a beautiful plot. Although time travel has been something that was used in a lot of period dramas already, this is definitely one of the best i've watched! Although the main leads might seem relatively new to you, but trust me - their acting won't disappoint! you will fall in love.

This drama has 40 episodes which allows each character to grow and enough for everyone to watch finish without feeling empty. I absolutely loved the romance between both leads in the present world and I am very happy that the show did not rush that important part between both of them. When the female lead travels back in time and the whole memory lost thing happened, I was quite frustrated and thought the show is gonna suck from then on.. but trust me the relationship still builds well between them!

The main characters all portrayed themselves well. 14th prince being someone cold and evil outside but actually only wants to protect the woman he loves, 4th prince being the sweetest and did have selfish motives sometimes but he still treasures his bromance with 13th prince a lot. And ofcourse, 13th prince (male lead) and female lead have such a beautiful love story.

The downsides - Ming Hui (the evil sister) is kind of given the 'happy ending' which I felt was a bad ending, the bad things she have done is beyond evil and to me should be given a harsher punishment but it seems like the show kind of rushed all the expose and the 'turn over a new leaf' thing towards the last few episodes. Also. I didn't thought FL suits the historical period costume as well, felt that she looked way better in modern times.

FINAL VERDICT: if you like a ML that has the puppy eye look and is 100% devoted to FL, a time travel show that does not neglect the present world, a good balance of love, politics and sad sobbing scenes, then this show is for u. but i would say this is worth your time.
