The First Night with the Duke

I usually don't watch Kdrama because I feel it gets too cheesy for me, but this one hit all the right spots for a romantic series. It's straight to the point, low stakes, absolutely romantic, funny, whimsical and the leads are so adorable together. The scenery is stunning and fresh, and the story captivates you, even the side characters are well written and you'll find yourself rooting for them, my fav side character is Do Hwa-seon, I just loved her sassiness. This is easily one of my favourite dramas in recent times, and I can see it becoming a guilty pleasure watch. I hope there will be another season!

I should also add that I logged into my imbd account after 5 years just to leave a review 10 stars.

It is a fantasy historical rom-com starring 2nd generation k-pop idols turned actors Ok Taecyeon and SeoHyun.

It's funny, swoon-worthy, easy, romantic, comfort, heartwarming, Enjoyable, fun, entertaining, stress buster where you don't need to think too much.

Based on a webtoon here an ordinary college student finds herself reincarnated as a background extra in her favourite romance novel, only to spend a night with the story's most dangerously obsessive male lead.

This drama has that swooning, soothing love story that has old school charm which old kdramas used to offer.

TFNWTD gives similar vibes to Extraordinary you, W: two worlds apart, Moon Lovers and Mr Queen.

TFNWTD is not aiming for any complexity but it's simply enjoyable.

Drama has an Electrifying lead couple's chemistry 🔥 which was demand for their respective roles.

Their casting & performances are apt for their roles. They light up the screen together. They served in romance, comedy & drama.

Both Taecyeon and SeoHyun performed with ease, their casting is perfect for their roles.

Yibeon played by Taecyeon is a cold hearted, kind of anti-hero who follows king's order and kills people, who became obsessive over SunChaek who took his heart by her audacious nature. Yibeon pursued her relentlessly.

Taecyeon performed Gyeongseong Yibeon with ease, that restrained emotions, romance, comedy, action everything great. His eyes speak louder than words.

SeoHyun played SunChaek amazingly. Her character is bubbly, fun, cute. SeoHyun's every expression was on point.

Story also gives space to side characters. It has some sweet, adorable side characters. I particularly liked Seo Bum-june.

Drama has melodious OSTs, aesthetically beautiful cinematography, overall good direction, amazing costumes and good production design. It has suggestive bgm n SFX that adds fun.

I would like to thank the cast & crew and makers for creating this drama. I had a great time watching it, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I'll keep my BeoSeon couple alive in my heart forever.

A modern day college student time travels and finds herself in her favourite historical romantic novel where she expects to be a side character but ends up being the lead. Seohyeun plays Cha Seonchaek the time traveller superbly with a cheeky and endearing performance. The duke Lee Beon is played by Ok Taec-yeon who has a horrible reputation at court for being the ruthless hunting dog for the Emperor. We have the usual side stories with various factions fighting behind the scenes to seize power with good performances from the entire cast. I do think it falls a little short in the plot as little thought is given to the back story of most of the cast as all concentration is on the romance.
