This kdrama genuinely had one of the best start . I was sold when I heard it was story about two antagonists falling in love . Until the jeju island arc came and everything started going downhill .

MY OPINION ON MAIN CHARACTERS
SHIN SEO RI : her strength lies in her sharp senses which became non existent . Villainess ? hardly , would a joseon antagonist be so slow on her wits ? And even from the flashback she was not even a antagonist so why was the drama even marketed like it . From all the historical dramas I have watched , one thing about smart female antagonists /fl is that they live in a ride or die situation . Let alone that, a normal joseon woman specially someone who has been part of palace hierarchy and harem would never even turn out like her . Even after being in the modern world for long enough she makes a complete fool out of herself in every situation she gets like girl who the hell goes to meet a villain alone when you are aware that he is manipulative jerk . The most obvious step someone does when they are thrown into an unfamiliar surrounding is ADAPT , but the fl doesn't have this word in her dictionary . I get, it's the writers liberty to give her a world of her own but maybe just a little bit of common sense would have made this character better . And why are the lead always fighting , she is slapping her partner like it's no big deal it's basically assault , like the car scene .

Now coming to CHA SE GYE , I expected more villain characteristics from him because he was actually shown threatening people . But alas my rotten luck . I don't hate downbadism of the male lead in fact I love men who are losers in love . But they forgot he was supposed to be a villain in first place . The nurse girl was such a important accomplie of the poisoning , so a perfect evidence . You're telling me he appointed no trustable person to protect her . A man who has tried destroying you , why are letting him off the hook so easily so many times .

CHOI MUN DO , He can't even survive if he had a face off with actual good leads . He was really sloppy with everything he did , it was like he was all mighty and powerful just for the plot's sake . LOL .

NOW TO THE STORY
This should have stayed a rom com but they decided to add succession politics and sh!t . Sometimes what viewers want is not a plot full of twist we just want a genuinely good drama , not to spike our blood pressure but to calm it down . I would like to give this task to psychological thrillers and actions not a rom com for sure .

ACTING
What happened to the actress ?? She was never this bad at acting . I have loved lim ji yeon from the glory and that was because of her strong acting as park yeon jin but the hell was this . Even her smile feels absolutely artificial here , she had done such good work in her previous dramas and now this , Is it some sort of filter migration ? . The actor wasn't so better either , specially when he got angry . I really liked him in your honour and sweethome so I'll look forward to both of these actors work in future since they aren't always bad at acting . I hope they improve.
