If you’re looking for a fun, lighthearted historical romcom, this isn’t it. But what really made me drop this drama was because of the female lead’s character. Don’t get me wrong, the actress did amazing at portraying the character BUT I was so annoyed at her character. I tried giving this drama more chances because I see good reviews about it and about how everything will make sense in the end.

However, I guess I just don’t have the patience to deal with the female lead’s bratty attitude. It was cute in the beginning and I took the drama as lightheartedly as she did. I understand that she treats it like a trip to ancient China, but I really can’t stand some of her actions. Yeah, sure, it’s watchable for the first 3 episodes or so but it just starts getting annoying. I thought about dropping it at episode 8, but I figured I should at least make it to episode 10. I really tried to keep going with it, and I guess her character is written that way to add more drama and it’s how the story will continue but seriously???? I appreciate the idea of her being independent and realizing love isn’t everything, but come on can she at least be made likable in other senses too? I don’t understand how people get over her attitude or perhaps I’m being too harsh and impatient.

Ok before this whole review turns into a rant about the female lead, I’d like to say that the soundtrack is good. Additionally, there are some scenes where she cooks cool dishes and it’s interesting to see how she creates modern tools to help her in the kitchen using what she has lying around. Her outfits were cute, but sometimes they were inappropriate for the current period regardless if she’s a “modern 21st century” woman or not.

ANYWAY, if you made it this far in my rant, do watch it if you have the patience and you’re ready for something deeper than a mere romcom. Just go into it without taking anything too seriously and I think you’ll be able to fare better than I.
