Worth a watch if you are into action

This is a short lazy review :)

This movie is not bad at all. Very watchable, lots of action (and blood and if you're into it, gruesome deaths), and the story is ok. It could've been a lot better though, I'm not sure why scenes were edited a certain way, but I could follow it.

There are some annoying troupes, but at least they keep it simple. I will mention that they swap the usual male and female roles that you see in C-dramas. Remember that annoying/gullible/child-like female lead you disliked, well imagine them making the husband to the female lead like that... I do like that they at least made it seem that he was worthy of her.

I rated it a 6/10, but I enjoyed watching this greatly (I wouldn't watch it again though). It surprised me on how they handle some things well, but then there were just some things (editing and effects) I couldn't let go.

If you like historical time travel dramas, this is a must see.

I must say I enjoyed watching this drama, here's why:

I usually watch Chinese dramas, but I've watched a few other Thai dramas over the years, this one is my favorite.
I must make this clear, this is more of a Romance, Historical, Slice of Life drama.

There's really isn't that much conflict, and the romance is steady climb until the end. Unlike some dramas that start with a strong romance and ends tragically, takes you on a rollercoaster leaving you confused on how to feel at the end, or is extremely sad until the end where they spring forth a happy ending, this drama is more like a long distance train, enjoy the sites, relax, sight-see, a very steady experience.

I must say compared to Chinese drama, there's a lot more skin in Thai dramas, and instead of it being so cold you can see the breath of actors, instead you see sweat trickling down their skin.

Please note that the 1 hour and 50 minute episodes take some getting used to. I thought I could binge 15 episodes, but no, it's actually more like watching almost 3- 45 episode dramas. In addition to this, the scene editing is rough sometimes, it didn't bother me, but it might bother some people.

I'll mention that the special effects are simple yet practical, they shouldn't detract from the story.

Story:
Great Story. I've thoroughly enjoyed mangas like Anatolia Story and Ouke no Monshou. This drama gave me similar vibes. Our FL actually uses her knowledge for the benefit of others and doesn't seem to forget where she came from. I must say compared to Chinese drama, there's a lot more skin in Thai dramas, and instead of it being so cold you can see the breath of actors, instead you see sweat trickling down their skin.

Acting:
I can't really say anything bad about this. The FL is great, a lot of personality. Everyone else was ok, nothing really worth mentioning.

Music:
Catchy music that stays with you for days or weeks after you've finished watching it. One thing I should say is that the editing for OST is very choppy, one sentence you can hear suspenseful music, and the other joyful music.

Rewatch Value:
I'm not sure about this yet, but I can see myself rewatching my favorite scenes at a later date. Since this is more of a slice of life, it doesn't force you to watch the next episode, no real cliffhangers.

Overall:
I recommend this to anyone that likes time-travel dramas and are sick of FL forgetting they are from the future. This FL personality stayed true to herself, although she had to adapt and explain herself many times. There are a few things that are unbelievable in this drama. For example the ML not having any other wives or children even before the FL arrived.
The drama ends with a happy ending and with most issues explained.

Thanks for reading my first review, enjoy!
