satalasers Mm, didn't like this as much as I hoped.
- The ending was better than the beginning, IMO. I actually started to like the characters, but I don't think I cared too much about their happily ever after by that point.
- I really want to watch River Where The Moon Rises, because it also features On Dal and Princess Pyeong-Gang, but it's currently airing, so I'll have to wait until it's over to see the similarities, TBH?
- I liked that two people got to travel back in time while in most shows it's just one. I don't know! I just think more than one person travelling back in time is neat, and I have way more fun with characters conferring secretly about what they can and cannot reveal, but also slip up at times, accidentally causing the thing they tried to avoid. Not always the case, but a general rule of thumb, I think.
- I wonder if I'd like this more if I understood the history better? This clearly had it's own twist, and it's not like it had to be 100% faithful, despite my dislike for Hwarang, the clearly anachronistic parts made that show funny.
- The beginning was zany, but I wish I liked the absurdity a bit more, but I found it kind of unbearable TBH.
- I also hated it in the first half that whenever Song Soo Jung and On Dal had a moment, the screen would flash to grey and there would be a sound effect to be like: this is important! Held moments, are fine, I like them, but this was too much IMO. They stopped at the halfway mark, but by then the damage had been done, and I got kind of annoyed at their moments, even if by that point, they were sweeter to each other.
- Not sure how much I liked that the first half spent the show introducing new characters' perspectives. I just felt kind of disorientated, a bit, because things would overlap, and I'd be slightly confused because I thought I already watched the scene. I know it's to show their perspective, but. It irked.
- Boong Boong the car who did what she wanted was great though.
- I do think the narcissistic villain was great. He was very vain and very silly, but honestly the best part of the show for me.
- Honestly, I found it hard to pay attention watching this, but I do think I wasn't in the right mood for it, so I might give it a rewatch, and enjoy it the second time around more, but IDK. I'm glad the episodes were short, and it was pretty easy to blitz through. I also wonder if I needed more context for the history being parodied/subverted, but it was okay to get by even without that knowledge.
7.5/10. Picked up in the second half, but by then I kind of wanted it to be over.
