If you've got time to kill you can watch this

I really, really wanted to love this show.

The CP's 3 companions were the best bits of humor in the show and I could have done with their lines and plots being developed more (and edit out so much of the extraneous mooning between ML & FL).

What initially got me to try the drama was the time slip aspect. Who doesn't love that, eh?
That was good, as well as the mystery which is finally wrapped up at the end.

I also enjoyed the past-life/reincarnation / karmic aspects of the plot. It worked well with the time slip stuff.

The first few episodes were intriguing, and I thought "Ah hah! this IS going to be good!" But while it had good bones it was over fleshed out and poorly edited. So many establishing shots were of them going from a to b, standing in someone's apt, house, car garden etc, and watching what I think of as talking heads repeating the same stuff over and over. Yes, after the 3rd time of it being said, we know the ML is the CP. We know that he's also currently masquerading as the heir, and that the cousin is as dirty and underhanded as they come. We don't need that being reiterated in just about every episode. Really!

What I thought though was that it could have been made a more dynamic and interesting show with better editing of the script and shooting. It should not have taken 20 episodes to tell the story (It is pretty basic after all) and I think it could have been done within 16 episodes and we'd have had a better show because of it.

So if you've got some patience, and some time to kill watch this show. It's got a good premise it's just poorly executed.
