I feel that the pilot does a good job of setting the premise of the story and introducing the characters. Park Yeon Woo is a free-spirited woman who’s feeling suffocated living in 19th century Korea. She enjoys making clothing and wants to be independent, something that her noble status and society in general is hindering her from. Unable to go against her parents wishes of marriage she gets married but her husband unexpectedly dies on their wedding night. Unable to mourn him she gets kidnapped, thrown into a well and gets sent to present-day Seoul. Here she meets the ML, Kang Tae Ha who looks exactly like her dead husband.

The FL rather quickly starts to adapt to her new life and feels more at home. I enjoy that she actually gets to be herself more and do the things she likes to do. The leads also start falling for one another and even get to kiss in episode 7. However, it all feels a bit rushed. That a woman from Joseon adapts this quickly to a whole new world and even kisses a “new” guy, even though he looks like her dead husband, in the span of a few days is kind of unrealistic. However, I get that things have to speed up because this drama only has 12 episodes.

Another aspect that’s interesting is the general mystery. Not much has been revealed to date. Who is the colored eye woman that keeps talking about fate? Who is the masked man that kidnapped FL? Is it all the work of the evil stepmother or is someone else the villain?

The grandfather is starting to act suspicious. He has that portrait of Yeon Woo and seems to dislike her. We will see what happens further down the line.

Overall it’s a beautiful drama that has a general romcom feeling. So far I give it an 8.5/10 rating. We will have to see how the rest of the episodes wrap up the story.

This review was written after watching episode 7. I will edit it when the series is completed.
