I'm sorry i tried but i just cant
I was honestly excited for this drama because of the cast. I really wanted to love it, and I tried to keep myself interested while watching, but unfortunately, it just felt boring. The chemistry wasn’t there for me, either.I’m sorry for the negative review, but I’ve been watching dramas for decades, and usually, a good drama manages to hook me within the first episode, or at least the second. With this one, I found myself forcing myself to give it another chance with every episode. Sadly, it just didn’t work for me.
But hey maybe its not everybody's cup of tea.

I don't where it went wrong
This drama started off really strong and had an interesting premise that kept me hooked in the beginning. Unfortunately, it gradually lost its charm as the story progressed.My biggest issue was the lead couple. Their relationship became increasingly toxic, with the same misunderstandings and arguments happening over and over again. The male lead never seemed to fully trust the female lead, which made it difficult to root for their relationship. I also never felt much chemistry between them, so instead of feeling invested, I found myself getting frustrated whenever they were on screen.
The female lead's character was another disappointment for me. Her personality in the 21st century felt completely different from who she was in Joseon, almost as if they were two separate characters. The inconsistency made it hard to connect with her journey and character development.
The pacing was also frustrating. The villain was clearly behind almost everything from early on, yet the story waited until around episode 14 to finally expose him. Despite having enough reasons to suspect him, the characters kept allowing him to manipulate situations without taking meaningful action, which became increasingly unrealistic.
What started as a funny and entertaining drama slowly lost its humor and momentum. The male lead became exhausting to watch, the female lead was often over the top, and the romance never really clicked for me.
Ironically, this is one of the few dramas where I found the supporting cast far more interesting than the main couple. Their stories, personalities, and interactions were often more enjoyable and engaging than the romance the drama was trying so hard to sell.
Overall, the plot had a lot of potential and some genuinely good ideas, but the weak chemistry, repetitive conflicts, character inconsistencies, and delayed payoff made it a frustrating watch. The supporting cast ended up carrying much of the entertainment value for me.
