Why watch?

IU's character jumps between the 17th century and modern day, and every scene she's in the present timeline is a comedic disaster — a woman from ancient times stumbling through 21st century life is pure gold. The show plays with historical drama tropes but does it all with a wink, so it works whether you want actual character depth or just something light and funny for the evening. Byeon Woo-seok opposite her gives you the romance without letting it swallow the comedy.

Who is it for?

Watch this on an evening when you want something light and funny that doesn't demand too much — IU carries the comedy well, but there are some genuine plot surprises too. If you liked Crash Landing on You or Business Proposal, you'll have a good time, it's that same blend of comedy and romance. No violence or heavy content, though some humor skews adult.

If you liked how '21세기 대군부인' mixes period drama with absurd humor and fish-out-of-water chaos — modern sensibilities clashing with historical settings — check out 'Mr. Sunshine' or 'The Apothecary Diaries'. Both shows balance serious historical stakes with weird tonal shifts and unexpected jokes that catch you off guard. They're not afraid to make you laugh and then genuinely care about the characters in the same scene.
