After struggling for 8 episodes, I'm dropping this. The first episode started off good in the Joseon era explaining the background but after that it gradually fizzled out. The main problem is that the 2 main leads have zero chemistry. Because there is zero chemistry, their love story is not convincing. As a result, her pulling out the sword loses much of its impact. All the slow-motion camera work and love songs in world will not work if there is no chemistry. Its not something that you can just manufacture. Ironically, the second leads did have chemistry and I found myself looking forward to their scenes instead of the main couple. As a matter of fact, I think they should have been the main leads and the main leads the second leads.

"Secret Garden" and "My Love From Another Star" were also fantasy rom coms and I enjoyed those very much. However, unlike those 2 there's nothing about this series so far that makes me want to keep watching.
