Thoughts

I loved this drama so much! I enjoyed the plot and the uniqueness of it and how throughout the drama Heo Joon Jae would get these dreams or he would start piecing things together. Shim Cheong was hilarious. She played the part well and was high key a bad a*s. Her obliviousness to so many things was so cute. I really enjoy dramas that go back in time because I just think the culture is beautiful so this one really showed that. 

My rating: 10/10

Ending: 10/10
