One time watch

I randomly stumbled upon this drama while finding for new dramas in Netflix, so i gave it a try. The first 2-3 episodes pulled me into the story and grabbed my attention. the first half of the drama was interesting and liked the silly antics of ML (Kim Nam Gil). It was my first time watching Kim Nam Gil's drama and tbh i felt like his acting in this drama was quite okayish. in the first half his acting elevated the storyline but at some point of time i lost interest in the story and even his acting in the second half felt mediocre.
There were many scenes that felt illogical for me:
1. when he is about to treat the king his hand tremored from what is shown as the child's death. but she is alive and waiting for him?? then if we consider that his hand tremored coz of ill intentions of the doctor then why didn't his hand tremor all those nights he treated for rich and in those cases he treated the higher officials in modern world?? *confused*

2. When mak gae (moon ga young) also can time travel to modern world from joseon (ep 16), why did he leave her with doo chil in joseon and come back to modern world with FL after his humiliation by minister of war?? it seems like they know the game that if he held onto somebody they would also time travel with him.

3. Why did Heo Jun knowingly didn't promote Heo Im further than superintendent when Heo Jun is shown as a fair guy. it seems he also came to know about heo im's ability to time travel when he saw that needle box with heo im while treating the king. so what made him feel like heo im is not potential enough for a promotion before that??

Also i felt like there were some unnecessary fillers and cliches just to extend the story. Lyk why would they kill Ha ra's character when she is doing all fine after surgery just to add extra emotional trauma to FL and ML and make the entire episode about FL feeling bad about not saving Ha ra when its not even FL's fault!! *sigh*

Anyway for me it was a tough watch from second half. Had to skip some scenes and fast forward it just to make it to my completed list.
