Mostly machine translated subs for an interesting role reversal of genders in a historical setting.
The machine translated subs make this difficult to watch. Sometimes it's nonsense. Most of the time it's words jumbled together. It makes some sense as you read it and think it through - like Yoda talking only slightly more cryptic. Finally there are some portions that seem to translated well and make sense. I'm guessing those sections might have been translated by a human being.Now for the general story:
The male lead travels back in time and wakes up in one of those tea houses where he is a courtesan who women can pay for. It seems he has traveled to an ancient alternate reality where gender roles are reversed.
He stumbles across the female lead and finds she has an item that might allow him to travel back to present day. The female lead is outwardly cold like a lot of the traditional male leads in historical shows but the movie does a good job of showing she's not that one dimensional... she's more shy and inexperienced than anything else.
I think the movie does a good job of keeping it light with comedy, ridiculousness. The leads are pretty good with the moments they have. I'm not sure if I'm heartbroken or optimistic after watching this. For whatever reason it hit me and I enjoyed it and wanted more.
Masterpiece? No. Worth the 1 hour if you can get over the subtitles? I think so.
I really, really enjoyed the song at the end and I'll probably obsess over it until I find it.

Entretenida
El actor principal hace la mayor parte del trabajo en la película . Buena actuación de su parte.La actriz no brillo mucho, la cuarto príncipe me gusto mas.
Me hubiera gustado ver una mejor escena romántica de la octavo príncipe y de Zhang Hen Wan.
El actor que hacia de la princesa me dio mucha , risa y eso que son chistes absurdos los que pasan ,su actitud era muy entretenida.
No me gusto que a la mujer la llamaran príncipe y al hombre princesa , como que la dinámica de cambio de roles no funciona bien, o es incompleta .
El baile es lo mejor de la película.
