This is a very good fantasy mystery sci-fi drama! The viewer gets to enjoy a stunning cinematography, wonderful cast and a mesmerizing soundtrack to counteract two things on which the drama fall deficient- Gu Chan-seong and his relationship with Jang Man-wol, and the dual timelines. Gu Chan-seong is just a catalyst for Jang Man-wol’s character when it could have been so much more given the fact that he was always the person who loved her the most, and still, the writers couldn’t entirely fuse the love story into the complex and strong Jang Man-wol character ultimately resorting to a sweet and soulful romance, a disappointment when you have actors of high caliber as Lee Ji-eun (IU) and Yeo Jin-goo. The drama’s focal point is Jang Man Weol and Lee Ji-eun (IU) delivers an excellent performance bringing this character to life. The rest of the cast become an extension to her character delivering a sweet romance, thrill, drama, and comedic moments to her emotionally laden persona. The second deficiency on this show is the merging of timelines, past and present. The plot could have been better if only the present timeline would have the same important development as the past, but it fell short in comparison. Even though the drama is not perfect, it is entertaining and fun to watch. Enjoy it! Was this review helpful to you?

This drama is a very good romantic comedy that, occasionally, will pull your heartstrings. The cast did a great job bringing their characters to life and the leading couple has great chemistry. There is also a great character development, especially for the lead male actor. There is also s strong bond and true friendship among the male characters and the leading lady with her best friend; and there is Chu Yan, who, even though he really liked Xia Lin (Mumu), he remained loyal to his best friend and was truly happy for the couple. Have to say that there is more to Yi Zhou than meets the eye. He was also a loyal friend and lover. The romance between the leading couple was well written and executed; leading to a very beautiful, intense, and long lasting relationship that took shape through communication and persistence every time there was a conflict or misunderstanding. The drama is really entertaining. Enjoy it! ** [Don’t forget that there is always a scheme to contract marriages, and this drama is not an exception! There’s also a second season coming in 2020 which I hope will be as good as or even better than this one!]** Was this review helpful to you?

This drama is a nice one to watch while waiting for a great one to come. Although it is a period romantic comedy, the leading actress did not exude the romance feel even as hard as the male lead tried. The writer(s) and editors kept her stubbornness for too long during the duration of this drama and it started to be annoying. The supporting cast romance stories were carried on better. The drama goes from melodramatic moments to a strange feel of comedy but it comes together at the end when the leading actress showed more support and trust on her husband. Xing Zhao Lin needs better actresses so he can shine again like in "The Eternal Love" series! It is not a great drama but it offers entertainment. Was this review helpful to you?
