Excellent cast and above average plot
Not being a fan of historical romances, this one is great for those who want to have a little bit of everything: modern romance, historical romance, plot twists, cute scenes between FL and ML, among many others.
I would recommend this to someone who absolutely loves unravelling, simping, sucker for FL MLs. I think ML in this K-drama might be the best execution of that I have ever seen. I would say it is also an enjoyable watch if you love the psycho power couple dynamic, both leads are quite crazy and definitely don't act rationally (but that's the beauty of this drama I think).
What I liked: ML was just a chef's kiss, FL actually had personality development and was entertaining from start to finish, melodrama in this was quite refreshing, and the cute romance scenes which will absolutely make your day.
What I disliked: Ending wasn't as bad as I feared (meaning the end rushing wasn't that bad), but definitely the script quality got worse towards the end of the drama, the historical part of it could have been much more nuanced (I felt like it was there for the sake of having two alternate timelines), it was at times pretty boring because it got repetitive at some point.
I would say it is a better drama than most because of four reasons. 1. Excellent casting and chemistry between ML and FL. 2. Drama has a creative layout from the start. 3. It executes the romantic, heart-fluttering scenes to perfection. 4. The ending was actually bearable and good (I have been traumatised before watching this....)
Since I gave it 8 stars overall, I would definitely recommend it.
