*Love the leads Lee Se-young and Bae In-hyuk and their likeable characters, and they have great chemistry. I'd never seen Bae In-hyuk before but I like him and his deep voice. I especially like Lee Se-young's feisty and strong character.
*Also like the second couple Joo Hyun-young (as Lee Se-young's handmaid and best friend) and Jo Bok-rae (as Bae In-hyuk's secretary). They were a bit goofy and the secretary was certainly over the top but they added to the comedy and were a lot of fun.
*Bae In-hyuk's half-brother Yoo Seon-ho was annoying, though. Fortunately he was on Lee Se-young's side and at times his behaviour was amiable.

*Lee Se-young encountering modern unfamiliar things was funny. I especially liked her friendly relationship with the robot vacuum cleaner.
*Many things happened in the last 2 episodes, it was even suspenseful 10 minutes before the ending.

*Overall a very enjoyable show (I love time-travel stories!), with great costumes, beautiful music (some really nice songs) and often gorgeous cinematography.
