Also she's not graceful at all. When she dances, it's like gym moves. When she walks, she walks bent, with feet apart, like an old lady with arthritis although she doesn't have any. Like a caricature. Generally, the overacting is annoying.

I predict that they will go the "virtuous", bland and comfortable way, because the conservative South Korean viewers would be scandalized otherwise. Oh Mal Sun will choose to become old again at the end and get together with Mr. Park who is her age, thus "appropriate", in the viewers' minds.
So what about the male main lead? Is he going to remain heart-broken and solo?
No chance for the twin sister to become Emily again: in the scene where she told the taxi driver that she regrets returning to her old self, the taxi driver replied that once she chose to return to being old again it wasn't possible to have a second chance at youth.
So who is the young man going to end up with? There is no other plausible love interest for him. I suppose we have to wait and see.

Dropped after one episode. Very conventional tropey story, cringe over-acting.

I found it on Youtube. https://youtu.be/BpBdo6KaLi4?si=Dm6JfTg84X5Aqu7j

I dropped it before even finishing the first episode. It was boring AND infuriating at the same time. The manipulation and coercion, the forcing someone to do what he hates doing, all this together was distasteful. Not to mention the pooping in one's pants - how necessary was that for the plot? Zero.

It's 12 episodes.

Yes, I'm an international fan, LOL.

Yes they should only leave episode ratings (i.e. rating for a specific episode)

Yes, but the question is why feminizing men and making them look softer makes them more appealing to Korean girls/women?
As a woman, it doesn't make them more appealing to me. When I see an actor with bright red lipstick I feel repulsed or, in the best case, amused, it seems ridiculous to me.
Of course all actors all over the world wear makeup to minimize flaws and enhance their features, including lipstick, but it is of a more neutral, natural colour, so that they look as if they didn't wear any.

You do know that the Joseon period extended up to almost the 20th century, right? It's the longest dynasty in the world. At some point Korea stopped being isolated and started getting "exotic" Western stuff. We also saw glasses with champagne and Western-style opera singers.

The Joseon period was a 505-year period in Korean history when the Joseon dynasty ruled from 1392 to 1897 - almost reached the 20th century.

Because they even put feminine lip colours on men, LOL. They are weird that way.

The actors are not anything to write home about, the plot is far from original (apart from the "hotel" idea, which is new) and the humour not really funny. I don't dislike it, but I think it's average. A bit like Hwarang, but Hwarang had some interesting actors to hide the nothingness of the screenplay.

I like her, but she has some mannerisms that she carries in all her roles. My Dear Citizens, Devil Judge, here... They make her characters feel more or less the same although they are not.

This golden key is not very well kept. She should have put it in a little simple white cloth bag and keep it more deeply inside, not sticking out so obviously.

Which character is the one you are referring to?

Well, some of the men, I mean "flower boys" look very girly too, and not when it's a gender bender.

You're right. They would have to build a Western-style palace or something. It will be cheaper than renting Versailles and filming there.

I haven't read the webtoon, but if he's transformed into a bird, I don't see how they can do it without CGI, LOL!

You have a point. Sometimes screen writers only get some inspiration from the source material and make lots of changes, but sometimes they don't, so we have no way of judging what would happen in this instance. Unless he has been shown a detailed synopsis and the first 3-4 episodes and they are outstanding, he also cannot be sure of the outcome.
