No wonder I wished for the couple to stay in the 19th century..
I didn't have any expectations going into this drama. Well, then the first episode happened and set my expectations high - way too high. The chemistry between the two main characters was endearing and even though I usually can't wait for the plot to proceed into the present day, I loved the 19th century so much that I feared the present wouldn't be as interesting. My fear was justified, sadly.
Firstly, the potential to make Park Yeon Woo struggle in the modern world wasn't fullfilled at all. Not only that, she adapted way too well. I know adults who were born towards the end of the 20th century and struggle with using modern inventions, if they do then how come a 19th century woman gets a grasp on everything so fast? In the end it plays an insignificant role in my overall rating, but yeah, the way she adjusted was too unrealistic.
What makes my rating so low, however, is the plot and all the twists - It's one big mess. Although I paid attention the whole time, I don't think that anything important happened throughout most of the present day episodes. I feel like the story wasn't moving at all, sometimes the mysterious woman appeared for a while, sometimes the main lead's heart condition made presence and then left lol, honestly I started liking it just around the time the main leads warmed up to each other.
Saying all of that, watching it was still sufferable and I thought the last episode would make me settle on a decent 7/10 - oh god, how wrong I was. I won't spoiler, but what the hell. Not only nothing got really solved at all, it turned out to be even worse. No need to mention it dragged until the last moments, so our couple spent like 30 seconds together before the show ended. Sigh.
I honestly would've given it a lower rating, but the cast saved it and even made me slightly sad when it was over, because if the plot made a bit more sense, I would've enjoyed it a lot. Bae In Hyuk is the reason I started watching this kdrama and I ended up loving Lee Se Young as the main female lead as well. They both along with all the supporting characters and villains did a really great job with what they had.
