No Plot, No Problems
I was looking forward to watching this drama because the ML was also in a very sweet and charming drama I enjoyed called, Decreed By Fate". Unfortunately, this drama comes nowhere near, "Decreed By Fate" and became so intensely dull within just the first few episodes, that I had to drop it completely.Firstly, the good news is the FL isn't wooden, unattractive, or annoying as many if not most Chinese costume drama FLs are. She is interesting, smart, witty, talented, skilled, and not a push-over victim. The main lead actress is talented and I look forward to seeing more from her in the future.
My main problem with this drama is that there is no plot. When I say no plot, I mean that other than the time-traveling instrumentalist trying to return to modern time, there is really no plot at all!! The time-travel element itself is bizarre, as it isn't well explained nor well executed here (again, no real plot). The ML, other than being serious eye-candy, and a decent actor, is quite boring as a character. Though compared with most MLs in costume dramas, he at least isn't stoic and cold. The actor playing the ML, from what I have seen, is a gem of an actor, and though he is still very young, I am expecting his star to rise in the next few years, and am grateful for that.
Still, even with the main leads being a cut above the usual costume drama actors/ characters, without an interesting plot, the drama goes nowhere and relies on antogonist antics, rather than interesting situations for plot points, which gets boring.
I really wanted to love this drama, but without a good story structure, I just can't. This is one of the most boring non-melodramas I have ever seen, despite the stellar cast, cinematography, and performances.

Very worth it to watch!
The main leads' chemistry is so good. There's not too much intimate scenes (like kissing, bed scenes) but you can still feel that butterflies for the lead stars. This is not a heavy drama but there are scenes that will make you cry too. Overall, this is definitely a worth-it drama.I just love that there’s no scheming SFL. And the character development of the supports is so touching.
And the music played both on ost and in the drama are so fantastic especially in the last episode.
