I have so many mixed feelings about this! While I love Kim Hee Sun and Lee Min Ho in the main parts, there are others whose acting choices I found questionable - I know we're not meant to like Gi Chul because he's the baddie, but man, he didn't have to go all full mustache twirling evil guy. I know my bad guys (there's a reason it's Xue Yang who's my avatar, not Wen Ruohan) and he and all of his crew were just the worst (as in, not entertaining, I know they're meant to be evil), just cartoons.

Also, the production was just lacking - I guess they spent all their money on the door effects, because ugh.

Still, am so happy that it has a happy ending - I dropped another famous time-travel K-drama after finding out that it doesn't end in a similar way.

Kim Hee Sun and Lee Min Ho had such chemistry, but that was basically it - I honestly didn't really care about the other characters, so tired of the palace politics etc.

But the one thing which made me write the review is this: That bloomin' song is stuck in my head! and because I can't speak the language, I can't do what I usually do - which is sing it to the end, in my head, and get rid of it. Yesterday I was watching something else and thinking - this would have been so much better with this other song . . . what the hell is it?
When I realised I groaned, and had to find it on youtube - it's called Carry On, and here it is so all y'all can suffer with me: https://youtu.be/e5brmft_MK4
