A bit dated but cute nonetheless
I love time travel stories so I was incredibly excited for this one. I might have given it a higher rating if I had watched this as one of my first dramas. Unfortunatelly having some other material to compare this one to I have to say more than a time travelling story this is a cute romance and some time travel shennanigans happening in the middle, the time travel plot is not very well constructed, as the rules change for plot convenience, so you have to suspend your disbelief a little.
That being said the leads own the screen. They are both so incredibly adorable and lovable. They're both the best part of the drama and I had a blast rooting for them. The same unfortunatelly cannot be said about the rest of the cast. The side characters from the present are an inconvenience at best and an annoyance at worst. I especially couldn't stand the female manager and the ex boyfriend and both of their selfishness and toxicity. I think I can excuse the exboyfriend character because he's written for the specific purpose of being a foil to ML and he is supposed to be an ass. The female manager best friend on the other hand? She's a terrible friend, who is whinning most of the time and only cares about FL staying away from scandals rather than her friend's happiness. Every time she was on screen I had to fast forward so I didn't have to deal with her.
The Joseon part of the story is the better world from both of these, with that storyline being more interesting and compelling than the weird present times. Though there are times when the present is exciting like the airplane scene, there are little to no consequences for the present world as things get constantly fixed by time travel magic and everyone forgets about ML and any laws he may have broken.
The characters from the Joseon period are just much more interesting and the stakes over there are real life and death situations. I enjoyed that part of the story a lot actually.
One thing I have to say is that the visuals for this one are a bit jarring, with the weird editing, saturation of some parts going over the roof sometimes it's hard to make out what's happening on the screen. But I have to let this go because this is an older show and I do remember the aesthetic from the 2010s.
All in all the drama is not entirely grounded. There are some genuinly interesting parts that I enjoyed and the two leads, along with the Joseon people steal the show. Overall a decent watch without being some masterpiece. Just a fun rom rom without much logic going on in general. But still a satisfying ending, so it was ok overall.
