people giving this 10/10 for the cute romantic scenes. You'll stay invested half way through then the show will…
No, you're not a hater for simply stating that you didn't like it or because you thought the other half was bad but you also can't assume that others will have the same opinion with you. People may gave it 10/10 for various reasons and that's okay. I personally liked the plot and the relationship between the leads.

People exaggerate and complain about every little thing and also have different tastes. As for they give 10 for the cute romantic scenes, well it's a romcom it's supposed to make you giggle and laugh. If a drama does that then it's successful.
To those who finished this: Did they ever explain how/why she became a concubine? And/or why her personality changed…
I don' t think it needed to be explained how she became concubine. She was a court lady and all court ladies belonged to the king. She didn't have much of a choice. As for the personality change she followed grand prince's advice to toughen up so that she can survive.
I'm glad that I see comments where people understand both ML and FL's side and not just blame one because to me that's the point in this plot. Both Yeli and MXY suffered so much from the events that happened and their actions are very understandable.
Totally agree. A rating of 1 or 2 usually suggests a complete failure on every level, which is hard to reconcile…
I totally agree. This drama didn't have popular actors (even though Lim Jiyeon is well known from glory) or a popular writer to attract immediate attention but the success came organically with more people talking about it every episode and gaining huge love even from those who were skeptical at first and like you said a rating 1 or 2 means that it was garbage which was far from that. I guess it's true when a drama becomes successful there will always be some who just spew hate.
I will never understand people coming on mdl and just plain hating everything. Of course I don't mean the constructive criticism someone might have about a drama but pure hate from actors to everything. Like I saw some reviews for this drama and some had given ratings 1 or 2 like how? I'm starting to think that some didn't even watch the show and came here just to complain and be negative.
Ιt's really so great when you start a drama with no expectations and it ends up being so amazing. I started this without much thinking even though I love reincarnation/time travel stories and it turned out to be an unforgettable experience. The withdrawal symptoms are already hitting me and it's only been a day. I'm really going to miss that feeling waiting for new episodes and giggling and laughing while watching.
Studio Genie making a video of previous characters of Nam Jun and Ji Yeon like a whole drama trailer lmao. Ok, let's cast them in something like this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bd9dKQ1_10
