The show is really interesting. On the surface, it is about a failed actress who gets possessed by a spirit from the past. But, it actually is about the struggles of life and the inherent contradictions between Confucian values and Buddist dharma. In order to change her fate, SeoRi must travel to the future to change the present and then travel back in time to change the past. The story is vague and ambiguous like all of life's decisions. And, in the end, she must choose detached enlightenment or embracing life.

After reading a lot of negative reviews, I think many of the reviewers didn't really understand the drama. It is one of the most philosophical and interesting dramas in recent history. Also, the blend of philosophies is distinctly East Asian. However, if you don't really care about this, you might find the plot to be confusing.
