This drama embodies everything I hate about old dramas.

There's the quirky female lead who starts off strong but then ends up chasing after the cold, jerk male that simply treats her like garbage.

There's the annoying second female lead who is also basically there to interfere in the main ship — and along with that is the double standard where she's blamed for everything despite the main guy also being at fault.

And then, there's that second male lead who is always there for the main girl, the one that just steals my heart and would have been such a more intriguing main character, rather than just the poor sap who the main girl cries about her heartbreak to — despite knowing the guy already likes her.

With that being said, this drama could have had a lot going for it, if only I didn't dislike the main male lead that much and how the female ran after him. The premise is intriguing, with the intersection between historical and modernity.

I also think this drama was in dire need of more bromance and sismance. The lack of bromance is understandable, considering they're rivals and all, but the girl had a beautiful group of friends around her who never got more backstory or the opportunity to be anything but "the friends." Thes same could go for the lady teachers/servants that the FL had — they could've been more, but we only got to see a little bit of that at the very last episode.
